So I go to play Halo reach and stream it to twitch. About five minutes into an online match, my screen goes black. PC is still on but nothing is happening.. CPU fan set to turbo. GPU fans set to auto. So I am having to force shut off the PC and turn it back on. This does not happen when I go play rocket league and stream it.. Only with Halo Reach.. What in the world is going on with this thing??

Latest board bios?

Latest AMD chipset drivers (from AMD's website)?

Latest AMD GPU drivers (20.1.2 or 20.1.3. soon)?

RAM set to XMP?

 

I have such issues when running XMP. Once I turn XMP off everything runs perfectly stable (but RAM runs 2666).

Updated BIOS and GPU driver. All is well. Minus RAM not being able to run at 3200 now with new BIOS. Thanks for help. I should have known to check those. I just figured it would have been the game itself.

Yeah, your RAM probably was not stable at your previous BIOS, so a more stable bios revealed the flaw. More stable bios's often reveal stability issues. You can either download MemTest64 or more preferably make a bootable USB and run MemTest86 (preferably) and find a more stable memory OC.

Running memtest64 now. At the same time, my screen is flickering really badly now and my PC is freezing on me now... I just can't catch a break with this thing..

The only OC profile I have going is just on the ram to run at the rated speed. 3200 at 1.4v
