I recently upgraded a lot of my hardware after I spilled water on the motherboard and CPU. My new system is as follows:
Graphics card: rx 480
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 (with stock cooler)
Memory: 16 gigs total (Two mismatched 8 gig sticks) (2166 DDR4)
Motherboard: ROG Strix X370-F Gaming
PSU: 550w EVGA Gold
Running windows 64 bit.
BIOS: Version 4603
I bought a new CPU and Motherboard as well as a new SSD. I have updated all my drivers and have reset the computer but the problems are still occurring. These include windows becomming unresponsive to the point where it asks if I would like to end the process of windows. When playing games I am also getting random freezes where the program becomes unresponsive for around 15-30 seconds before disconnecting me and going back to normal. This happens with all programs including steam, discord, and spotify. Since I have reset my computer, I have now been getting graphical issues where random blocks of colors are flashing across my screen. As I type this there is a flashing blue and yellow streak on the left hand side of my screen. I have never had any problems like this before, and am unable to return either the motherboard or the CPU. These problems only occured after the new hardware was installed. If anyone has any suggestions on what to try it would be very appreciated. I can go into more details about the problems if anyone needs more clarity as well. Thanks.
I just redownloaded all of the drivers again, and have run for about 10 minutes now without any problems. I will update you if I have any other problems. Thank you so much!!!
