1. Why are you upgrading? I have always upgraded my computer part by part over time as many do. I have a general understanding of how my system operates and general knowledge of troubleshooting and getting things to work. I've always done what I thought was a good amount of research before purchasing upgrades for my system, but I figured since I found this forum a short while ago I might as well see if anyone can help me out because everyone on here seems 100x more capable and informed than I am in all aspects of building a PC. I primarily use my system for playing online FPS games and single player open world RPGs. I have always found myself slightly disappointed in the performance of my system. I have always just thought my expectations of what it could handle were too high but also had a nagging in the back of my head that maybe I've purchased the wrong parts or upgraded the wrong things. When it comes to my online play such as Apex or Overwatch I never seem to be able to reach a frame rate even close to 100 and especially not when I set the graphics even somewhat high. I want to see if anyone has any thoughts on my specs which I will list below and if there is anything I should upgrade. I'm looking to improve my frame rate while also keeping graphics on the reasonably high side. I have overclocked my graphics card with the ASUS GPU Tweak 2 program using the OC scan just to make sure I didn't mess anything up. That is about all I have done when it comes to overclocking anything in my system mainly out of fear of breaking anything due to my limited knowledge. I always keep my drivers up to date. If anyone has any thoughts on a way to improve my system or maybe components I might need to upgrade please do! Thank you all in advance for dealing with my rambling and general request and if there are any other specs or needed information just ask and I'll provide it! 2. Budget & Location I don't have a set budget as I'm not really sure what might need upgrading if anything. If there are any recommendations I am located in the US. 3. Aim As I explained above, my system is primarily used for gaming which is what I want it optimized for. I spend the majority of my time playing online FPS games (Apex, Overwatch, Battlefront 2, etc.) but I also often play RPGs (rdr2, Skyrim, Outerworlds, etc.) and least often at least for right now MMOs. I do watch movies and browse the internet but who doesn't. 4.

Just as a quick update I deleted my partitions of both my SSDs and reinstalled a version of windows through usb which ended up not working either. I decided at this time after running test after test and not coming up with anything concrete to go on that I will exchange my CPU. PROBLEM SOLVED! The second I plugged in the new 2700x it ran flawlessly. Thanks everyone for pitching in ideas and trying to help, I probably needed to replace my motherboard anyway I feel like I might have been bottle-necking.

Well unfortunately I went out bought the X470 Aorus Gaming 7 rebuilt everything put the 2700 in started it up and had the same exact problem. Only upside now is it boots every single time but once I login screen still flickers and then I get blue screen with same error “Stop Code: VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR” on a a positive note it does not get hot anymore could it possibly be something to do with my graphics card it seems that could be the only thing unless I’m wrong

As of right now I can mostly boot up every time, I can get to logging in click around for a few moments and then thats when the display shuts down or blue screens. I just let it cool down for a while powered it up and kept the tip my finger on the edge of the VRM which went from cold to boiling in I'd say about 30 seconds. I did the same thing with my 1800 and it gets decently hot but not as hot at the 2700

From other people I have asked they had similar thoughts. Either the board was too old or far fetched but maybe my power supply was going. If that is the case I'd gladly run out and get a new MB. That just surprises me that my 1800 really uses that much less power than the 2700

No Sorry I should of clarified that the 2700x was brand new not used at all I had helped them out with a few things covering at work and they asked what my pc could use as an upgrade and they ran over to Micro Center and got it for me I'll throw that in there just to make it clear

SOLVED- I replaced my motherboard to a x470 aorus gaming 7 which did not solve. I then just ended up going back to the store and replacing the 2700x for a new one as a last ditch effort in case it was faulty right out of the box and that was the cure. Even though it had no bent pins was brand new and absolutely no sign of damage I guess it was DOA. Thanks everyone for the help! Quick Summary: Issue: Switched my Ryzen 7 1800 to the Ryzen 7 2700x. My computer won’t start up and if it does the screen flickers black and after 30sec to a minute either the display goes black or shows blue screen error: “Stop Code: VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR”. Fans and RGB in case all still function past display shutting down or error screen showing. Long Explanation: The other day I was given a Ryzen 7 2700x as a gift. I was previously running a Ryzen 7 1800 on my Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 AM4. I removed my old processor cleaned my EVGA CLC 120 Liquid CPU Cooler put it in with new thermal paste. I pressed my power button it came on then immediately shut down with no display at any point coming on. It would not even attempt to start up after that. After waiting a short while I tried again and the same result fans RGB everything lights up looks like it is coming on but no display and immediately shuts off. I did some research and realized my BIOS might be outdated. I threw back in my old 1800 cpu went on my MB website downloaded the correct version listed for the 2700x, updated through AMD @BIOS, restarted my computer. I then was hopeful, reinstalled my 2700x went to power on and there was a glimpse of hope. The fans turned on, RGB on and then it shut down and restarted on its own. Upon the restart it did the display actually came up, but my screen was flickering black every few seconds. I logged in seemed somewhat functional then I got a blue screen with the error “Stop Code: VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR”. From this point on one of two things happen. After its on for a few seconds I either get the blue screen error or the display just goes black. During this all my fans and everything still run. One time during this after I logged in, I was able to get Speccy up before it crashed, and I noticed it said my CPU was running at 110 degrees Celsius. I immediately removed the cooler and felt the CPU it was cold to the touch but the metal thing* next to it (sorry my computer knowledge isn’t strong enough to name the piece I’ll attach a photo) was extremely hot. As a last ditch effort after a long two days of trying solutions I updated my chipset thinking maybe it was that but no it had the same results also made sure all my other drivers were up to date which they were. At this point I’m getting extremely frustrated and feel like I’ve run out of options. Maybe someone else has had this experience and has some tips? I’m thinking it has to be something I’ve not updated or forgot to install since my Ryzen 7 1800 is not too far away from the 2700x and runs perfectly fine with no hiccups. Things I’ve tried: -Updating Bios -Updating Chipset -Removing unnecessary things from my comp only monitor and keyboard and mouse -Updating graphics driver (All were up to date already) -Cleaned all dust out of everything in my case (there was barley any) -Checked Temps of other parts which were all stable and fine (Gpu, SSDs) -Checked pins on 2700x which all seemed to have absolutely no damage or paste on them or anything Computer Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X EVGA CLC 120 Liquid CPU Cooler 32gb DDR4 3200 Gskill Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 AM4 ATX ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2080 8GB GDDR6 Samsung 860 EVO 1TB & Samsung 970 EVO 1TB EVGA 1000 GQ, 80+ Gold 1000W Windows 10 x64 This is the area of my MB that gets EXTREMELY hot when my 2700x is in compared to my 1800
