Ah, then it might be a possibility. But it still didn't explain the 2 hours or so period after I had just rolled back the BIOS to the original version when all games run smoothly without any hiccups. I'll try to work something out on borrowing another GPU

ah... I forgot to mention it in my post, but I've done that several times. I've even did a clean install of windows 10 along with all the latest driver. I've been using this particular GPU for almost 1 year with no issue. This problem arose not long after I switched to Ryzen, also I don't have another GPU. Did "thermal fault" only happen after a while or can it happen instantly after the GPU experienced some load? because even after a cold boot the problem will happen immediately. Note: just now I turned the computer on and went straight to dirt 4. Didn't even get 1 minute of driving time before it happened

This has happened several times, for the past couple of weeks. Basically, the screen suddenly freeze on a single frame but the game will keep playing (still respond to inputs and sound still plays).

But suddenly the problem came back, the game freezes and now the thing will freeze and crash just like before I reverted back to the F1 BIOS.

Lowering the memory clock? and then raising power limit? I haven't run memtest. So far the only troubleshooting that I've done have been related to the gpu.

yes. with ddu in safe mode and then performing a clean install of the new drivers

I did reinstall the driver several times. I even try out different drivers with no luck

I haven't. Yea, been having this issue for the past 2-3 weeks. So annoying. Do you have any idea what might caused it? I was thinking it might be driver related.

I've been running into these issues quite frequently, across multiple games. Basically the screen freezes (stuck in one frame) but the game still respond to input (sound keeps playing and responding to any given control). For example in Dota 2 when this happens I can still talk to my teammates via voice chat, but the screen is stuck. I've tried reinstalling windows and drivers. Currently using windows version 1703 (OS Build15063) and Nvidia Driver 382.53. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

No it didn't. It just froze without warning. When the screen froze, it's just the screen. The cursor is still movable, and even I can still chat via voice with my teammates.

Dota 2 keeps freezing both in the menus and in game. Tried everything from verifying local data, several launch options (-safe, -autoconfig, -dx11), tried reinstalling the game, I've even reinstalled windows. None seemed to work. Also, I started experiencing this issue after upgrading to ryzen 5 1600. Anyone has a solution?

I just installed MacType and found myself really liking the smoother fonts that's resulted. But I notice that the start menu still retain the standard (admittedly worse looking) windows font. How do I change this?

Will the 1500X overclock better ? Or somehow perform better in games ?

As per the title, which one is better for gaming and light productivity ? I can afford either of them, but I've no idea whether to go for the binned quad core or the 'basic' six core part. The cpu will be paired with AsRock's X370 Gaming K4 and 8GB Apacer kit

I know.... I almost did it. But hey, only 1 month until ryzen got released. Then I can say goodbye to this ****** of a cpu. *Linus still uses it for a build guide though*
