<System> I've recently assembled a new system as a holiday gift to my cousin who is going into high school. Despite what knowledge I have, I haven't been able to get things in working order. The system uses an MSI B350 Gaming Plus mainboard, a Ryzen 1600 with a gentle overclock, dual 4gb sticks of Corsair Vengeance lpx memory and a single MSI RX 580 Gaming X 8gb. I absolutely despise Windows 10, but it was the only option using Ryzen. It currently has Windows 10 Home edition build 1703 and AMD adrenaline drivers version 17.12.1 <Issue> With the exception of benchmarks and some less intensive games, any time the gpu comes under serious load the drivers will soft crash repeatedly, or until the game in question hard crashes back to the desktop. I don't have much time for gaming or testing, but I've experienced the same problem with nearly every title I've tried. The only exceptions have been Gmod and FTL of the 2 dozen or so games I've tested. <Attempts> Multiple clean installs of various driver versions stretching back to early this year. Total re-installation of all games and Steam. Total restore back to clean windows. Chipset/motherboard updates. Multiple registry tweaks. Wattman modifications to voltage and power limits. Changing Pci slots. Changing PSU's. Changing RAM for memory from my daily workstation. Testing GPU in my workstation system, with no issues. At this point I've laid it all out and any help would be much appreciated. I'm happy to provide more verbose details about anything in particular, and I dearly hope that someone has already found a fix for this issue. Regardless, any help is greatly appreciated!

Alright so addendum to my previous posts, I am absolutely useless (and really tired). So corrections, the cpus I'm utilizing are 4 6276's and not 6176 cpus which came out the same time the previous year. My agreement as to their mediocre performance is no longer standing since an assembly of 4 6276 have nearly the same passmark score as a Ryzen 1800x (albeit with about half the single threaded performance).

I'm aware, but frankly I'd rather use the parts I already have. I don't have the cash flow currently to fuel a new Ryzen builld anyway, but I will post a benchmark thread whenever the storage and adapters arrive. This laptop freak really appreciates the help, I've never dealt with a system that required more than a 500 watt PSU after all.

This is the board I'm upgrading to. http://www.memory4less.com/supermicro-computer-system-board-for-server-h8qgi-f?rid=90&origin=pla&gclid=CjwKEAjwz9HHBRDbopLGh-afzB4SJABY52oF-rza5s7q8ITj9oRU6MbGYibI_DfUYeDzyq1sKUhH5BoCddPw_wcB And I'm using 4 Opteron 6176 CPUS which means anywhere between 320 and 440 watts of power draw by the processors alone.

Hey all, I've been upgrading my home rendering server and was wondering if anyone knew of a power supply which has 3 (count em) 8 pin EPS connectors. Or 3 4+4 connectors for that matter. So far I haven't managed to find an off the shelf server option. If anyone has information regarding where I can get a suitable PSU I would be extremely grateful, I'm also unaware if it's possible to achieve this with a modular PSU and custom cables.

My build from last summer was done on the cheap, and though I'm packing an R9 380x (which crushes most titles) it still doesn't have enough juice for the most demanding The build was done with 500$ and parts from my last build, so I can't afford another card right now. I would love a new card so I can finally do crossfire and fix my performance!
