Hi all, looking for some input here. My reason for a component upgrade is that i occasionally run into a crash issue. No BSOD, but my peripherals all shut off except my tower, resulting in me having to hit the back power switch to shut down, as my case powerbutton does nothing in this scenario. These crashes are completely random, and happen anywhere from boot, to idle, to during a game. No amount of stress tests, benchmarks, or diagnostics have given me any light on to why this happens, but switching from my old MSI b350 mortar, into my new Asus b450-f rog strix has significantly cut down these crashes. I feel like i get some bottleneck when playing battlefield 1 or destiny 2, but thats about the most hardware intensive games i play.
What i am looking at upgrading is either my RAM or my CPU, Thank you in advance for any and all input!
Current:
Asus rog strix b450-f
Asus rog strix RTX 2060 06G
Ryzen 7 1700x
AMD wraith prism cpu cooler
Corsair vengeance LPX 2666mhz (2x8GB)
Corsair CX550w (2017)
Corsair crystal 570x
Looking at either the Ryzen 5 2600x (2700x out of budget currently) or Corsair veng LPX 3000/32000 2x8GB
