    Alright after a long night of intense PC working and gaming I am going to call this solved! Thanks again for the help! you made my week! Good luck in your future endeavors mysterious forum angel.

    Perhaps I didn't explain myself quite well. I did overvolt using this formula " currently its by default at 1.187v so: 1.250v - 1.187v = 0.063v so I offset by +0.063v. " once I did that prime95 no longer crashes and gaming seems fine. the video you linked did as well say to set the CPU loadline calibration to extreme which is what i assume gave me such a high voltage in the end because I set it back to auto (keeping the overvolting offset) and I am at 1.253v with peaks of 1.297v under stress load with not a ton of variation. Am I right in this assumption or does setting the CPU loadline calibration back to auto potentially cause more problems in the future? Thanks again for the help... this might still be a mystery but so far I can game with no crashes since I overvolted.

    Alright did exactly this and was able to run prime95 for within the amount of time you suggested with no crashes. The first 10 minutes the temp hit a max about 67c and stayed stable at that temp but once 10 minutes hit the temp started climbing again and after about 12-13 minutes I was reached 76c so I stopped it (included is the picture of the temperatures). also as you can see the CPU VCore ended up higher than 1.250v at times and especially after the 10 minute mark.. Should I be concerned that after 13 minutes temps climb that much or because this is a stress test it's normal? What temps should I start worrying for my CPU? If I no longer crash am I potentially in the clear or running the cpu at a higher voltage will lower my overall lifespan? At idle I am still at 1.250v +/- 0.040v and the temps stick to a cool 32c so I assume that is ok? or since when stressing it hits as high as 1.330v I should turn it down some and try again? Thanks again for the advice so far! I am learning alot! and sorry for the late reply work got in the way.

    Alright So I just want to confirm something if possible. VDDRC CPU voltage I increase to 1.250v. so I select offset + and set the amount I cant to increase it by 1.250v - 1.187v = 0.063v so I offset by 0.063v. is this correct? "Make sure it is set to adaptive voltage" that's where it gets confusing for me. I don't see an option to change anything to "adaptive voltage" ? Am I reading this wrong? Sorry for all the questions I am trying to learn all this as fast as possible.
  5. Criticafailgamer
    This got more complicated then I expected. There is a couple that talk about CPU Voltage. am I on the right track? I am not sure which one to adjust. Now say I change the value and run Prime95 with no issues is this a solution that can work long term or do I have a defective part on my hands?
  6. Criticafailgamer
    soooo if I crash after barely 5 seconds of running prime 95 like I crash when I play games....do I still try and change the voltage or do I have a more serious problem? I started it, counted to 5, looked at my voltages and before I could close it I black screened again...
  7. Criticafailgamer
    Thanks for the easy and clear instructions! ill give it a shot. Any recommendations on how to "stress my pc"?
  8. Criticafailgamer
    Thanks! I will definitely try this. You mentioned to write down the voltage under VCore Or CPU voltage and as you can see in the image it fluctuates from 0.687v to 1.243v as I am typing this the Value keeps changing (although the Min and Max have stayed the same) or am I looking at the wrong numbers? Thanks for your patience so far I just want to make sure I don't do something stupid.
  9. Criticafailgamer
    Sounds great! except I am not the best at pc stuff and have no idea how to do what you said...at this point I am willing to try anything if you don't mind taking the time to explain exactly what I am doing and why? Thanks for the reply.

    Yes I downloaded Asus ez update and ran and updated everything that was there. If I run it now it says "there is no need to update the environment" just to be sure here's a screenshot of the update

    Hi everyone, I recently built a new PC (less than a month ago) and I am having issues while gaming and I am looking for some help figuring out what's causing me problems. Build: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 3.0 GHz Eight Core AM4 Processor with Wraith Spire LED Cooler ASUS Prime B350-Plus AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 HDMI DVI VGA M.2 USB 3.1 ATX B350 Motherboard Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DIMM 288-Pin EVGA 600 BQ, 80+ BRONZE 600W, Semi Modular, FDB Fan, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 110-BQ-0600-K1 Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid Tower Case Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 AMP Edition, ZT-P10600B-10M, 6GB GDDR5 Super Compact Dual-Fan IceStorm Cooling FREEZE Fan Stop I also have a 500 gig hardrive that I just use to store music and movies and such basically I put everything together installed windows 10, did all the updates (that I am aware of) and everything seemed fine I can use my pc for hour and hour with no problem... unless I try and play games.. I've tried guild wars 2 on max and maybe can get a few hours in and everything goes to black... same thing with Overwatch (and Overwatch I play on low except for model details that's set to high, averaging 200+ fps ) my 2 screens ,my rgb keyboard and my mouse all goes black... the fans and rgb in the case still works but no response from the reset button, keyboard or mouse and only if I hold the power button or flipping the switch on the back the pc turns off. At first I thought maybe something was overheating so I downloaded HWmonitor and had it set up on my second screen while I played. The highest temp I saw was my gpu hitting around 72c while playing GW2. everything else was below 50c. Obviously I wasn't staring at it while it crashed but maybe 5 minutes before it crashed it said 72c. Now I have no idea how to proceed to see what the issue is? any suggestions? Any more info you guys would need? I just am really at a loss and don't know where to go from here. thank you very much for you time.
  12. Criticafailgamer
    Thanks for the suggestion! I haven't done much research when it comes to the R5 Is there any value in having the R7 1700 over the R5 1600? I mean I am sure either of theses are miles better than I already have but say 2-3 years down the road will the R5 still be able to keep up with the R7 1700 or for the 100$ more I am better off with the R7 1700?
  13. Criticafailgamer
    OH I was told It couldn't.. I didn't really have a specific budget in mind as long as it hit the best bang for my buck around that cpu I am not sure what is considered a good budget for a pc like I want .The last one I had built was in 2009 and other than a few upgrades (SSD, graphics card) I was pretty happy with it. I am basically looking for something that can handle a multi monitor setup, Able to play the most recent games at a good framerate and be able to handle having multiple programs going at the same time. Also something that in the future I could upgrade if I wanted to say around 1000$ -1500$ canadian? does that make sense?
  14. Criticafailgamer
    Hi everyone! I am looking to build myself a new system based around the Ryzen 7 1700 because to my knowledge its the best bang for my buck especially since I have no interest in overclocking. I am not really a big expert on what parts go together so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of a build that would give me a decent future proof pc that can handle a good amount of multitasking and some pc gaming. Any help would be greatly appreciated because so far I found this is the best place for pc advice! Thank you all in advance!

    I read this earlier not sure if it will help.
