This is my rig at the moment. With a 1440p 144hz monitor.

 

I am getting random crashes, and sometimes BSODs when playing games.

 

Is this a driver issue? (I am reading online that the driver for the 5700 xt is kinda wierd now.)

 

Is my power supply too low?

 

I also tried to check the heat on the GPU but I don't get any heat readings using multiple programs.

 

 

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I have been having the same problem with my 5700, as i look at your build I would say that your PSU is a little low, I know that 600-700 is the recommended from AMD in the quick start guide. But I have been seeing people online saying 500 is enough. But if it isn't the power supply I would say it is most likely the drivers

Is there a way to find out if the PSU is the issue?

If the game crashes, or the PC bluescreens, that is VERY unlikely it is the PSU.

 

Have you overclocked anything?

Nope, everything running at default settings.

What does the blue screen tell you? What is the log?

AGH, i knew i should have recorded it.

 

I'll post more details about it if it happens again.

I am having similar problems with my new build. DIMM slot 3 seems to be faulty, as I haven't had a bsod since I removed it. all of my ram sticks work, I checked them all on slot 4, and mem diagnostics didn't find a problem.

The BSOD stop code is Video Scheduler Internal Error.

I got fed up and started tinkering around. Happened to uninstall AMD software and it seems to have solved the issue for now?

I have no idea whats going on.

I uninstalled AMD software, (the program that you can launch with a right click on your desktop, not the drivers). It seems to have fixed the issue for now. Let me know if this helps.
