Computer acting up

[constantly_confused]

So I recently did a system upgrade to a Ryzen 7 1700 on an Asus Strix B350-F Gaming Motherboard with 8gb Corsair Vengeance LPX memory at 3000MHz. My graphics card is an Asus Strix Rx 480 8GB. On my old setup everything ran fine and was fairly stable. Now my computer works fine, but as soon as i load up a game (typically Skyrim Remastered, or Deus Ex: Mankind Divided) it closes the game, or I play for around 5-10 minutes before the game locks up my computer and I have to restart it typically using my reset button. It's only doing it in games. I have my ram and cpu running at stock voltages and stock speeds. The only thing overclocked is my GPU that runs factory overclocked to 1330mhz but I had it previously overclocked to 1390MHz at 1.225V and it was extremely solid. I have no idea what is causing this. I don't know if my GPU needs to be set in for warranty or if its my CPU or motherboard. I have no idea and any ideas on where to start would be great. Any help is greatly appreciated.

are the drivers up to date for your gpu?

 

temps?

Try running your GPU stock and see if it still happens. If it runs fine, bring that OC back up until you get issues again.

Remove the overclock on your GPU first. Just because it ran stable on your older system, doesn't necessarily mean it'll be flawless on your new platform. Overclock is funny in the way it's literally a balancing act and any new piece of hardware can throw everything off.

How many sticks of RAM do you have? In my system I was experiencing an identical issue and for some odd reason taking one of my two sticks of RAM out of the system fixed the issue entirely. Not sure if it was a dual-channel issue, defective memory, or a faulty RAM slot on the motherboard but this was how it was fixed for me and how I got back to gaming.

I currently only have one 4GB stick in. I had purchased two, but one stick was bad and I have to RMA it. I tested all the slots and they all work.

All my drivers are up to date, and I recently did a fresh install of windows. My temps usually hover around 45C at idle, and never pass 78C under full stress testing in Furmark.

Interesting. In that case I'd follow others' advice and update your drivers (for all main components, not just GPU) and remove the overclock from your GPU as well. Maybe running a memtest on your remaining stick of RAM wouldn't hurt either.

I have updated all my drivers. Uninstalled and reinstalled my display driver and updated it to the newest version. Even updated my bios just to be safe. I did run a memory test to make sure the other stick wasn't faulty but no errors came up. Everything says that one stick is good to go. All my overclocks have been taken off, I'm even running my GPU 20Mhz under the factory overclock (its in silent mode). I'm at an absolute loss here for what to do.

Yes.

That's def not enough to game in Win.

Although that should just slow things down when your system disk is used for RAM cache,

not lock up.

Have intel myself so no idea.

Should get at least 8GB though.

Yeah I figured it wouldn't cause a crash like that. And I know I need more. Ordering another kit so that I can RMA the old one and hopefully have 16GB in dual channel mode. Thank you for your help though.
