PC Upgrade, some small problems

[Kewpcool]

Hey All,

 

I recently decided to give my quite some year old i5-2500k an upgrade and after some research I did a 'budget' rebuild using only the Old Case and the PSU (that I have to Upgrade ASAP I think). Im not the 'heavy' gamer (Rocket League, CS GO, Crysis ...) but use my PC mostly for Programming (thats why I also chose Nvidia, because they got cuda support for Tensorflow - that makes it so much faster).
I decided for the following:

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

GPU: MSI GTX 1660 Super

Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Plus

RAM: 16GB G.Skill Aegis CL16-18-18-38

 

I also modded the old case (Zalman Z9 Plus) a little and used a HR-02 Macho as aircooler.I might change the powersupply pretty soon as it is a sort of no-name (Superflower 550W)...

Im pretty happy but got a little worried that i chose the wrong GPU, as the 2060 is not that much more expensive but more powerful i guess.
Anyways the system runs fine, i tried tweaking the memory a little as its rather on the 'slow' side and quickly ran into small stability issues. Sometimes when i start up a game the system crashes without bluescreen or anything, the screen goes black, fans still spinning but nothing responds... I am currently reverting the overclocks and try different stress tests.
Is there anything i could do to figure out what the problem could be? 

Does anyone using similar components have some tips on performance and small overclocks that are useful but stable?

Are there any other components that could work better?

Thanks for the tips

 

Greetings

Update the bios

Set the soc to 1.1 and try that ?

@Kewpcool have you tried upping the voltage? What speed is the ram at stock? I have a Ryzen 5 1600  I got it to 3.85 ghz @ 1.385V with the stock cooler. And my ram is Corsair vengeance lpx stock 3000 mhz and oc’d to 3200 with 1.36v. I suggest watch ltt’s video on Ryzen overclocking.

Thank you guys for the fast answer, the RAM is normaly 3000 MHz stock. I enabled XMP and did like in the LTT Video where they explain RAM overclocking for Ryzen. Anyways I overclocked the CPU via Ryzen Master and just recently i Installed Docker for a project I need and if I am remembering correctly the crashes started after that. It might have to do with the Hyper-V that has to be turned on in order to run Docker on Windows... Because if this is turned on I cant open Ryzen Master anymore and (I didnt check this correctly) the CPU clock was stuck at 4.1Ghz all the time.

Ddu 

Update the bios 

Check temps  

Up the soc to 1.1 and dram to 1.35 

Try with one stick at a time 

What PSU do you currently have ?

I don't think you should have XMP on and what are you using to cool your CPU?
