Why aren't you watching the video to the end before commenting?

Update to the absolute latest stable bios. I had almost the exact same issues. CPU isn't faulty, BIOS support just isn't fully there with whatever you're running.

They did. It nearly bankrupted the company as a whole.

Hey you weren't around to deal with Bulldozer aight? Like... I was there. Shit went down. xD

That's a power supply issue. That sounds like the 12v rails are going bad/are bad and showing those signs. Only other thing I can think of would be that the GPU is dying.

It's also worth noting they're trying to suddenly pour money into making literally thousands of windows games run flawlessly on Linux, which was already an insurmountable task to begin with, and to manage such a feat in what... two years? Yeah that was never going to happen.

Uh... pretty much any motherboard will give you the full benefit of what that APU is capable of. The B550i you've got is perfectly fine. I certainly hope you aren't expecting that APU to actually push 1440p in any games. Like... the 5600G has a hard time managing 1080p on low settings as is. o.o;

It outputs insane heat because it's set up to push 240w through the CPU at full load and is completely unrestrained. If you pushed 240w through a Zen3 processor, you'd run into much the same issue. That's basically the entire problem. Drop the wattage used and the issue falls away almost immediately.

I'd honestly just wait. There's still skepticism regarding if Raptor Lake is going to be supported on LGA1700 at all, so... might not even bother if you ask me.

What CPU are you running?

It's purpose-built for 1080p gaming. Though I would NOT spend $700 on one.

You insinuate that there's a steep price drop for 64-bit cards. There isn't. Cards rarely drop down below $50, so find the best thing you can get for $50 and laugh all the way to the bank. Go find a GTX 960 or some other Maxwell-based card. They aren't particularly good, but they're a LOT better than any GPU you're hoping to get.

LOL I was going to ask if they were Unity Engine games! Does event viewer show anything?

No not really. You haven't listed what you are planning to buy as a whole system so... can't really give much more of an opinion until we get that info.

I would check to see if there's any games used all share a similar game engine. I know for a fact that Unity doesn't play well with certain laptop models, namely machines with a mobile 1060. Had three just... up and shut down due to some kernel power management error thing. Be interesting to see if this happens much the same here.
