I don't have a GPU, I didn't think that would matter, what do they even do??
I use integrated graphics.

Ddr4 isn't significantly better than ddr3. It's not really new news, one if better in a certain point and the other is better in another. 

This one isn't a request for help, it will be more of a detailed log of how I solved my problem (fingers crossed anyway) in the hope it might help others with a similar issue.
 
I should add that my issue was something specific to having an X570 & Zen 2 pairing while also running PCIe 4.0 devices. If you're not running this setup its unlikely this solution will help you.
 
The Problem.
 
After a random period of time (between 10 minutes and a few hours) while specifically playing games (and not all games were affected) the system would hard reboot. By far the worst affected game was SW Battlefront 2 (I'd be lucky to get half an hour before the crash happened) so this is what I concentrated on for testing moving forward.
 
Testing.
 
The first thing I did was leave memtest running overnight on Friday. It passed a full pass with zero errors.
 
On Saturday morning I quickly established that it was only happening in games. I left P95 Small FFTs & Furmark running simultaneously for hours (according to AMD CCC Furmark was running for 6 hours) and the system was totally fine. Temps were completely normal on the CPU & GPU. CPU reached 90c peak & GPU reached 76c peak on the die and 94c peak on the junction. Temps were not the problem.
 
My next thought was that it was being caused by GPU Hardware Scheduling so I DDUed the AMD HWS Driver and went back to the non HWS but this did nothing.
 
Next I went into UEFI and disabled EVERYTHING I could think of that might have been causing this, all settings in AI tweaker were set to Auto (or so I thought, more on that next), PBO was set to Disabled, all power limits were set back to 100%, LLC was disabled, heck I even turned off IOMMU & SVT. Rebooted and fired up BF2 and almost instantly it crashed again.
 
Rebooted back into UEFI and this is were I kinda got lucky, I noticed that while turning everything off in AI Tweaker that I had missed the DOCP setting so my RAM was still OCed however I ignored this because the system had worked for months with DOCP and never had an issue. (Spoiler: I shouldn't have done that).
 
Anyway I then wasted the rest of Saturday night and a few hours Sunday morning swapping out the GPU, RAM & PSU for spares I had lying around. This also did nothing.
 
After putting all my original components back I went back to the HWS idea so after doing a full HDD image I proceeded to format Windows 10 2004 and reinstall Windows 10 1909. After installing drivers & Steam/Origin I fired up BF2 and literally as soon as I hit Start Mission the crash happened again. At this point I was starting to get annoyed so after reimaging 2004 back I shut it down and went and watched a movie.
 
When I came back to it, for reasons unknown, I decided to turn off DOCP. I went back into Windows and got 3 hours of play time in BF2. Went back into UEFI, reenabled DOCP, fired up BF2 and 30 minutes in it went. Progress, its the RAM, right? Wrong.
 
I noticed that when you turn on DOCP the UEFI warns you that the FClock will be overclocked from the base of 1200Mhz to 1800Mhz (the same effective speed as my 3600Mhz RAM) and that doing this might cause instability with PCIe 4 devices. Then it hit me, the first time I noticed this issue was around a month ago, the day after I installed a Corsair MP600 PCIe 4.0 SSD. At the time I put it down to a random crash and thought nothing of it (since it had never happened previously). Between then and now I've not really played games on the PC at all (I've been playing a lot on my Original Xbox instead) so it stands to reason I've not noticed any crashes.
 
The Cause and solution.
 
I did some Googling and discovered, what I think (hope) is the cause. The FClock (or the Infinity Fabric Clock) is controlled by a little SOC built into the CPU. With just my PCIe 4 GPU installed the SOC was fine with OCing to 1800Mhz but as soon as I added the SSD to the bus the SOC could no longer cope with running both the GPU & SSD at 1800Mhz. The solution was as simple as upping the SOC Voltage for 1.1v to 1.15v (according to the article I read it can go up to 1.2v safely on air).
 
I've been playing BF2 this morning with my system running at its normal UEFI settings, DOCP on, PBO at Level 1, Power Limits at 120% and LLC on Optimised and so far its been rock solid.
 
Obviously I cannot say its fixed yet as I haven't had the time to test it thoroughly but its played BF2 for over 2 hours with no crash where as normally it goes within 30 minutes. If it goes again I'll make sure to update this thread.
 
It was a very frustrating but also very fun weekend. It feels good to track down a problem and solve it.
 
Happy Monday everyone.

What’s your full budget, country and usecase?
 
If you had just filled in the form this would be a lot easier. 

Black widows are house spiders. They have evolved alongside people and their homes; without the selective pressures of the outdoors. That is to say, if you put a spider outside, it will either return to a house or most likely die.
 
Personally, I leave house spiders alone (they kill vectors like flies and mosquitos). Unless I find a hobo, brown recluse, or black widow. Those unfortunately need to be disposed of due to the threat they pose. I use a wood block or a torch, depending on the situation.
 
Edit: NVM these guys can live outside. The above applies to most house spiders though.

You can always use a vaccine cleaner I guess. I can also give you nightmares to tell you two things:
1) SHE HAS EGGS THERE ALREADY!!!
2) As she got inside, SHE CAN GET OUTSIDE OF THE CASE AS WELL!!!

I've purchased a x16 to X4X4X4X4 adapter to work with my MSI X570 A-Pro. However, I need ideas on mounting 6 GPU's into this case. It's a Thermaltake Level 20 GT. 
 
My current setup. RTX 2080 Super in the rear, RTX 2070 in the front, and a GTX 1060 3GB sat on its rear.

 
The adapter:

My current PPD for folding at home is just over 4M. I'd like to get that over 6M when the new Ampere GPU's come out. Will be upgrading my CPU to a Ryzen 9, also which when the new ones come out.

He did it multiple times. If it was a typo, he would have done it once.
It's helpful, as he now knows the proper name of the card.
It's not patronizing, as I didn't once make myself to seem superior for him not knowing the proper name.
Maybe you should white knight elsewhere.

Hi, to answer your question : https://www.trustpilot.com/review/get-wifi-x.com
it's a scam.

Ive seen this on loads of youtube ad's, it claims to instantly increase wifi speeds and stop your isp from throttling them.

is this legit, you debunked the xtra pc myth, could you tell us whats going on here. 

Looks like your running off the iGPU. Your 1050 is showing 0% utilisation, whereas the intel HD graphics are showing 99%

What the question here?

Windows + arrow to right. then click your other program and windows + arrow left

How do I see if I have 'malware miners' on my laptop? 

I believe OP meant "Euro"

So you parents restricted installing programs and you want to bypass it? Just wait some years until you are older and listen to your parent now.

Look up the data - countless testa have shown defender catches 99% of attacks, McAfee catches about 95% and AVAST only 92%. Defender is currently far and away the best free AV tool available.
 
The smart thing to do is uninstall McAfee before it deletes a system file and causes OS corruption (it's a common bug)

sorry i meant twitch kinda forgot the important part
 
I've tried different formats, pixel sizes and file sizes nothing changes. I press save and then the button starts spinning and nothing happens. I've verified my email.
 

I like that plant in the background

KILL IT WITH FIRE

????????

Did you seriously just create a burner account named "MicrophoneHelp" just to make this thread? hahahaa

Well you changed my mind, I wasn't a AMD fan in the past but I really thinking to go AMD now. 😀
