I just recently built a pc. at first everything was running fast but I'd get crashes (black screens that couldn't recover with gpu at 100% or blue screen) I sent the first gpu (a 1650s) to be replaced by a 1660s and I ended up with two crashes 3 days into using it. Somebody suggested I move the gpu to the slot closest to the cpu. This caused my mobo to claim I installed a new cpu and ever since then my performance in every component has taken a hit.
my build:
ryzen 3600
patriot viper 32GB kit running 3200Mhz with 16 cas
asus tuf 1660s 6gb gddr6 (micron if that helps)
asus x570 prime-p
sillicon power a80 nvme 1tb (heat sink also installed)
a 2tb toshiba HDD
an intel wifi/bluetooth card ax 200
corsair cx650m bronze certified 650 watts semi modular
corsair r100 silent case
cpu benchmark (current) https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/24321447
Things i did before this point in order:
-Installed everything and installed windows 10 home (still unactivated)
-ran 3d mark time spy (5426 score)
-ran crystal disk info (both drives considered good and running around 34c)
-ran crystal disk mark (read = 3445.12, 2225.52, 1545.36, 56.40) (write= 2979.32, 2974.78, 1973.98, 192.74)
-about 3 hours later while watching twitch first blackscreen occured. recovered in 5 minutes
-an hour and a half later 2nd blackscreen needed a reboot
-tried a pair of ram from my previous build (g-skill aegis 2400Mhz 16gb kit latency 16) seemed fine rest of day
-crashed the next day during a stream. black screen needing reset.
-a few hours later got my first blue screen (nvlddmkm.sys)
-used DDU in safe mode to remove and reinstall latest driver (441.87)
-got another crash
-sent 1650s(asus tuf) back to amazon and got a 1660s (same asus tuf brand)
-while waiting about a week i used my old 1050 from evga with no problems (reinstalled patriot memory too)
-used DDU to uninstall gpu driver then installed new gpu
-new card worked fine for 3 days then crashed once
-was suggested to make sure the gpu was running at gen 3 so I went into mobo and switched auto to gen 3
-got a crash about an hour in so i put the pcie slots back to auto
-friend suggested I move gpu to the slot closest to the CPU which i argued I couldn't cause it wouldn't fit thanks to the heatsink with -the fan on the mobo
-after a few hours I caved and tried moving the GPU (this forced me to reinstall the wireless card and nvme to a different area to -accommodate GPU (GPU had issues covered half the fan and refused to fit the bracket of the case to screw in.)
-showed a pic of the gpu in the new slot to prove it wouldn't work. guy said it was fine and to turn it on.
-GPU kept fans at 100% without stopping and no display.
-i turned it off, turned off the psu, and waited a minute before turning back on
-mobo gave me a "new CPU installed" message
-guy said don't worry about it so i checked bios to make sure things seemed ok (they did)
-Computer is sluggish cpu likes to hover around 40-60% usage, GPU 20-40%
-ran crystal disk mark performance was cut significantly (read = 2324.39, 827.21, 115.05 7.72, Write = 1743.84, 870.21, 99.25, 7.88)
-ran 3dmark (5042 both cpu and gpu are performing worse)
-decided to try reinstalling windows. (no change)
-put everything back to where it was before
-ran crystal disk mark (read = 1815.38, 1169.18, 121.05, 8,88 write = 2231.95, 787.40, 108.55, 8.08)
-frustrated I ran user benchmark instead to get a link to share here and ask the forum instead.
Sorry for the big post but I figured it help. any suggestions on what to do next? i was thinking of reflashing the bios but i might wait till a new PSU comes in (Antec Earthwatts 550w ea550g pro gold certified semi modular)
