i have the AOC 24g2 monitor, got it for 200€, i kinda regret not going for AOC CQ27G2U/BK or Q27G2U/BK for 120€ more to get the 1440p 144hz experience that being said, if you can get this monitor for sub 200usd go for it, it's really nice

Well... I tried increasing the power limit to 50% and decreasing to -50% while also trying undervolting the card, it crashed either way, I don't think thermals are the issue. When doing the OCCT memtest on my friend's system with either my own or his PSU, the GPU maxed out at around 65 degrees, so that can't be the issue, we tried stress testing it on stock on both systems and had identical thermals outside the case, so again, probably not the issue here. I'd really like to know if we did a good job at isolating the issue (motherboard) or if we missed something obvious.

So... I managed to get my friend to test my components in his system and vice versa... Recently I found out a way to reproduce the crash in my system (running memtest in OCCT that tests GPU memory)... I don't know his specs exactly, but he has a 700w 80+bronze PSU, fx 8350 Vega56 + my PSU in my system on either PCI-e lanes = crash Vega56 + his PSU in my system on either PCI-e lanes = crash Vega56 + my PSU in his system = no crash Vega56 + his PSU in his system = no crash I already know it's not the ram and this mixed components test likely excludes the PSU, too, so it's probably the motherboard? I guess the only way is to order a new mobo and test it with my components and if it works I can refund it and claim warranty on my own mobo(I bought it 1.5yrs ago so probably still have the warranty on it). Please do let me know if there's something else I may have missed, but I think I pretty much did all I could to identify the problem. Edit : could it even be CPU? I see ryzen on b350 chipset communicates directly to PCI-e slot?

Just to update on this, I have confirmed with the AMD staff that it's a driver issue, my GPU is fine, as well as other components.

Ran Memtest overnight (8-9hrs) and prime95 for 1 hour, both without issues. I restored the high performance in the power options, as I remembered playing with that when I had my old GPU and some other issues that made my PC freeze and have a weird buzzing sound when that would happen. As of then no crashes today (played RDR2 for a few hours). I'll do some more testing in the coming days to confirm that fixed it.

I did, when stress testing on stock I wasn't getting past 170W of power usage and the temp was stable around 80-81 with memory around 83-85 degrees at full GPU usage. When gaming it's even cooler than that usually. Though, I'm certain my PSU is more than capable enough to run my setup + I bought it with my GPU after doing a research on what PSU to get.

Well, I didn't really overlock per se, it was moslty undervolting and increasing power limit to get some more performance out, though I wasn't gaming enough back then, I only had a crash every few days. Though, even then I was able to pass these stress tests with ease. I'll do what you said and I'll test the RAM. and yes, I updated the BIOS before I got the GPU, no new updates after that for my mobo, though. edit : https://prnt.sc/smfr0t prime95 blend & temps in HWMonitor

Hey, everyone, I'm kinda desperate. I bought the GPU on november, it's an ASRock Vega 56 Phantom Gaming card. Since I got it I tried some overclocking (undervolting and increasing power limit to increase performance overall), it looked promising, though I quickly realized I didn't exactly win the lottery, since it wasn't overclocking a lot. I increased the power limit to 50%, undervolted, kept the rest the same, playing with memory clocks wasn't too successful, either, I could only get around 880 MHz before it would crash when stress testing and gaming. So after some more time testing and trying overclocks, pretty much any setting I tried gave me crashes 2-3 times per day in games, sometimes when browsing, watching videos, etc... I decided to not use any overclocks, and while that worked better, I realized recently after playing F1 2019, Read Dead Redemption 2 and several other games that I'm getting crashes even on stock settings... So I'm playing a game for 1-3 hours, no problem, and then all of a sudden both of my monitors will go black and after 20-30 seconds it would come back, the game would crash and it would say that Radeon Host Application has stopped responding, or something similar... I would really like to know if this is a driver problem or a faulty card, because I would like it sorted out as it's really annoying and not something I expected when I spend 220€. Now some more info about my system... I'm using the latest OPTIONAL GPU driver, freshly installed a couple times, tried the factory reset, tried the DDU uninstaller from safe mode, but nothing seemed to help. I've got a 2 monitor setup going on, one 60Hz, other 144Hz + an LG TV plugged in but disabled in Windows display settings, I only use it when I want to watch a movie or something. Here are the rest of my components. Ryzen 5 1600x 3.60GHz w/ Cryorig H7 cooler MSI B350 Tomahawk Ballistix Sport LT 16GB DDR4-2400MHz Gigabyte SSD 240GB & 600GB HDD Seasonic FOCUS PLUS GOLD 650W AOC 24G2 144hz (main monitor) & Lenovo Thinkvision X24 https://streamable.com/3z6bbc here's a video I took today, was playing Anno 1800 for around 3 hours and this happened. The sound of the game kept going, also the mouse was responsive and I "fixed" the problem by opening task manager and killing the game and moving my mouse around the screen to remove the bugging... I also contacted ASRock and AMD and got an answer from ASRock as to what to try, but I don't really have other components to troubleshoot properly. They also told me that 1.5hrs of furmark stress testing should be enough to guarantee that my GPU is fine, so I did that without issues. What should I do? I'm still quite confident it's either the card or the drivers, I've been testing for 2 days now and both days I've had crashes on stock settings. I also don't have any overclocks on CPU and RAM. So again, it would crash after minimum 1 hour, sometimes it'd take it a bit longer, but overall pretty consistent crashes in every modern game I tried so far.
