Recent pc upgrade, games keep crashing

[FuzzyRabbitz]

Hey guys,

As of recently, I have upgraded my motherboard, SSD and CPU. My plan is to upgrade more parts down the road including the graphics card, and run with some of my current hardware till funds became available. The system seems to be mostly stable while running in windows (64 bit) and while running furmark, however during games, I randomly get crashes, which all seem to be DirectX related. 

The weird thing is however, my old build is working absolutely perfect, including the graphics card. Because of my crashes, I have returned to my old parts for the time being till I have gathered enough info to really identify the problem.

Some system info:

Old system / replaced parts:
Intel i7 6700k
MSI Z170A motherboard
Corsair Force SATA SSD

Kept parts:
Case (irrelevant, but a nzxt noctis 450)
Corsair CX750
Asus ROG strix GTX 1060 6GB edition
Corsair 16GB 2400mhz ram sticks (2x 8 GB)

Replaced parts:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
MSI X570 gaming plus
Corsair force m.2 SSD

So far, I have tried to play both Final Fantasy 14 and Tekken 7, but both seem to crash and display direct x errors. (ffxiv shows a fatal dx error, tekken a 'd3d device has been lost' error).

 

I have tried multiple things already, such as reinstalling my graphics driver, rolling back to previous versions and even reinstalling windows (three times), even updating my BIOS version to 7C37vA83(Beta version). I updated to the beta, since the latest version was already installed and the problems were there as well. 

By now, I have ruled out that my GPU is the problem since it is absolutely fine in my old PC. 

 

I have been looking around so far, and called customer support as well from where i bought it. So far, I have gotten a few pieces of advice, but I would like to hear more opinions in this regard.

 

First option: faulty drivers. 

 

This one seems unlikely to me, considering I have had 3 seperate, fresh windows installations. These have even been with recreated windows USB sticks. Aside from that, multiple graphics drivers have been tried, but none of them work.

 

Second option: A PSU problem

 

This one could go multiple ways; Customer support has advised to also connect the 4 pin CPU connector. Since I don't have one of these, I have worked with the 8 pin exclusively. Since I don't have access to another PSU, I haven't tried any others. However since it works fine in my i7 build, I think it is just fine.

 

Third option: RAM?

 

I know that ryzen likes fast ram, so perhaps this is an option?

 

Final option: Faulty motherboard?

 

Considering everything else seems to be working fine, I hope this is not the case. It could always be the case of course.

 

I would like to hear what your opinions are, and if there are any other things that I could try? I like to hear your replies!

 

UPDATE:
I've bought new parts for my system; 3200 MhZ ram, and a new PSU. The system seems stable now, so I think i have solved my issue. This topic can be closed
