So I have recently upgraded my pc, a  r3 3100 to a r7 3700x. It was all fine before I installed a 980 Samsung M.2 ssd. Now my pc keeps on randomly crashing, this is my second clean windows install, for reference, I have an Asrock MATX A320/ac motherboard

Most of the a series boards don’t have enough VRM for an 8 core.  You may have serious VRM overheating issues. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Any way to combat it? I've tried all max fans, but still crashes, thermal pads maybe?

Heat sinks on the VRM and specific fans actually pointed at the VRM maybe.  Only maybe though. If it was trivially easy to fix b series boards wouldn’t exist.

I don’t think it’s that though, it was running fine before I installed a new m.2 ssd. A 980 Samsung
