Motherboard/CPU causing DirectX crashes

[JHINTON]

Here are my current PC specs :

GTX 1070

Ryzen 7 3800x

MSI B450 Tomahawk

16GB DDR4 2400hz Corsair Vengeance

650W EVGA Power Supply

1TB Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSD

128GB ADATA SSD

1TB HDD

 

 

I have been playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare with this setup and i have been getting crashes with DirectX errors. Also Shadow of the Tomb Raider only works in DX11, it crashes in DX12 with error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED.

It seems that only DirectX12 games crash with this setup. I then changed my motherboard and CPU to :

i5 6600k

Asus Z170-P

 

I kept everything else the same and the games stop crashing. Something is obviously wrong with either the motherboard or CPU but i dont have a spare AM4 socket motherboard or CPU to test.

 

If anyone has any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or if you know what is most likely please comment below. Thanks.

I think you should update your bios some b450 have some issue in the past with 3nd Gen ryzen 

like trying to run pcie Gen 4 on gen 3 gpu or the other way around (it has hapend to one of my freinds recently and a bios update fix it )

I have the most recent bios installed from MSI's website. Still had the same issues

Yes i did a fresh install with DDU and even a full windows reset. I used the latest chipset drivers from AMD and still had the issues. I have a feeling that it is most likely the chipset on the motherboard. I'm thinking of buying a x470/x570 that is fully supported.

I think you should return it you most likley have a faulty motherboard or a weird incompatibility with will be easier to fix with a part swap.
