3 Weeks ago i switched from a crosshair hero vii and 2700x to a crosshair hero viii and a 3800x. Instantly i had problems, bios kept telling me there are no boot drives available. It saw all of my SSD's but would not allow me to boot from them. After some research i found that i needed to change my boot options and reformatted my boot drive, once i did this i was able to select the the proper drive as the standard boot device. I havent had much time to use the computer since i got it running again. Over the past few days i have been able to play some games but it would freeze. the screen, i could still move around in the game(freinds in game confirmed) can could hear everything in the game, I could alt+tab and look around on my other screen or even start a new game, but if i leave the frozen game open the system will eventually blue screen. My cpu usage and gpu usage are not very high when the game freezes. I cant think of anything else to troubleshoot other than swapping out hardware and seeing what happens. Anyone have some advice for me?

 

Here are the settings i changed to get the boot device visible

CSM - Enabled

Boot device control - UEFI and LEGACY OPROM

Boot from network - Legacy only

Boot from storage devices - Legacy only

boot from PCI-E/pci devices - Legacy only

CSM should be disabled. The drive will need to be cleaned and then converted to GPT before you can use it on a UEFI system. Without this both Fastboot & Secure Boot will not work.

 

Ignoring that though, what exactly did the BSOD say?

 

Update the BIOS to the latest version, this is VERY IMPORTANT for Zen 2 CPUs to work properly. Before you do that update the AMD chipset driver to the latest version from AMD.com otherwise you might have stability issues after the BIOS update (unlikely but possible).

BSOD had no info, just said its collecting information with a percentage meter. then restarted. I am currently on the latest BIOS. i figured that was the problem in the first place. I ran 3d mark 7 times in a row today and had 0 issues. I shut the computer down for a bit. came back and not 10 minutes into csgo it bluescreened.
