Games crashing after CPU Mobo swap

Please help!

I just got a new ryzen 7 3700x and MSI X570 pro. I have Samsung SSD, EVGA GTX1070, 16gb ddr4 Corsair vengence 3200. Windows, video, and web work fine. Any game I launch crashes within 20 minutes seemingly at random. Started with borderlands 3 and I chalked it up to it being new and having some bugs. Now any game from FIFA to smite crashes despite putting things to lowest settings etc... 

Things I have tried:

Updated motherboard BIOS from MSI site.

Full fresh install of windows(formated drive and started from scratch)

Updated Nvidia drivers

Fresh install of all games that I have redownload. (None running well)

Not running any overclocking

GPU and CPU temps are not getting anywhere close to limits. 

I am completely out of ideas and would appreciate any help.

I would suggest getting furmark...

... and try running the CPU burner, and the GPU test separate; to see if we can drill down into the issue.

 

Aka do the burn in test crash or not and what ones?

Ran GPU burn for around 30 mins at 1440p (longer than any game last right now) stayed around 45FPS load was 97% or higher throughout, and TDP was between 90%-100%, highest temp i saw was 70C. No issues, ran a few of the benchmarks as well and everything came back fine in both full screen and window. CPU burn has been running for about 20 minutes and so far its rock steady, temp is only around 53C at 3.58 GHz (according to task manager) let me know if I can provide any other information.

If there were no crashes I would suggest using DDU to uninstall your video drives...

...and then reinstalling them the standard way.

Reinstalled drivers through device manager, was really hoping this would be a fix since I had not tried it yet. Tried borderlands 3 and FIFA 19, both crashed. Tried again with all background apps closed (discord, steam, anything else in the task bar) and no luck. Updated game ready drivers in geforce experience and again no luck. Also tried xmp on and off, no change and moved RAM to other slots, no change. Ran repair on all MS Visual C++ packages I could as well. its blowing my mind because its only in games, I've tried turning on/off anything I can in game settings, Nvidia control panel and geforce experience as well as turning everything off, even tried a different monitor. I am grateful for the suggestions because I'm fresh out of ideas.

Does it freeze, crash to desktop, bluescreen or does the PC suddenly reboot? 

 

Seeing as you have done a full fresh install and the problem persists in more than 1 game, it is most likely either a hardware problem or a driver issue.

 

How many sticks of RAM do you have? 

If it's 4, try removing 2 of them and see if the crashes still occur.  If they do, try the other 2 sticks.  If it still crashes then, try the sticks one at a time.

If it's 2, remove one and try, then try with the other one.

Turn off Ryzen master when playing games..
Had a few similar issues but tried a few different things as well as not running Ryzen master while playing... But not sure if it was one of the other things i tried or not running Ryzen master that fixed it lol but worth a shot i guess :)

You didnt updated the Chipset drivers?

Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler.

Second System: Ryzen 2400G, Gigabyte B450 DS3H, RX 580 Nitro+, Kingston A400 SSD, Team T-Force 3200mhz CL15

If it ain't overclocked it ain't good...

PC does not freeze, system runs fine, just games freeze. Have 2 sticks 8GB each. I have tried every combination of RAM slots, 1 and 2 sticks at a time. tried other ram but wasn't recognized by the board. I'm about to put old board and CPU in and see if that fixes anything.

Sorry, a little more detail, Can alt tab, alt Ctrl del and close any game, game does say not responding in task mngr. It's blowing my mind because the system is solid but any  crashes.

That would indeed be a good way to verify that the GPU, SSD, RAM and PSU work. 

If the system runs stable with the old motherboard and CPU, either the new CPU, the new motherboard or the AMD-related drivers are to blame.

Old Mobo and CPU are working fine and rock steady. I'm thinking it has to be some graphics driver conflict but can not figure it out. Dove deep into AMD forums and couldn't find anything there either.
