New Gaming Rig crashing randomly

FlyingNun

Apologies in advance for the long post but I'm desperate for a fix here. So I recently finished building my gaming rig and have been having trouble running it due to random crashes. Initially, I was able to power on the PC, loaded the OS ( Win 10 Pro), installed a couple of games (Witcher 3, Battlefield 1) and everything was running fine until I started playing Battlefield 1 on ultra settings. About 45 mins later the PC crashed and stops displaying. I restarted the PC multiple times, every part is running except the display. For w/e reason I installed Windows and redid the installation of all the games. Now, this is where it started getting edgy, I restarted the PC and got weird green images on bootup as seen in the images below.

Here's a short video of the Windows login machine with the green screen

 

 

And when I start the game -

 

 

Motherboard video of lights blinking before the PC crashes

 

I've gone through the Mobo manual and the amber light blinking at the very end means something bad but I don't know what it is yet. I've swapped the RAM to different slots, reset the CMOS battery and all the measures I could. I'm hoping the community here will show me way out of this.

 

My build is 

 

Ryzen 5 1600

ASUS ROG Strix B350F

Zotac 1080ti AMP Extreme edition

G.SKILL Trident  F4-3200C14D-16GTZR

Corsair 750W PSU

 

Edit: I did a fresh install of GPU drivers as well. Zotac is not willing to replace the graphic card as they maintain that there is nothing wrong with the GPU itself.

 

Thanks.

From the images and videos you've included in this post it looks like an issue with your GPU.

I did that - installed everything that came with the MOBO and GPU CD's as a measure.

Problem with that now is it doesn't even allow him to get into Windows and the display hard crashes before that. 

(OP's friend here. We've exhausted almost all soft-fixes such as installing updating BIOS etc.)

It's not overheating that's for sure. Captured the temp at BIOS it was around 36 degrees

again u could just have a faulty parts just rma what u think is giving you the problem, like take out the gpu and if you have a second system run it on that make sure it works and keep taking parts in and out if u have another pc till you figure out which part is giving you the problem

if youve tryed everything u think off just rma it get a new one.

But he is not sure if its the PSU or GFX card. On this video if you see 

The Mobo at the end has orange-ish blinking. That's when the system (hard)crashes. Did some googling and there is no concrete answer as to which part the Orange LED blinking represents, specifically for ROG Strix B350-F model. Some said it is the PSU some said it could be RAM or GPU and a few answers were the Mobo itself.
So if there could be a place where there is proper documentation of exactly what is the orange blinking error related to which exact component that could be RMA'ed. Can't use guesswork as to what part is faulty and RMA it like that.

Also no scope for swapping out parts from another PC as he doesn't have one.

We checked in the manual, in fact downloaded and cross-checked the physical one with the one online and there is not a single mention of that specific LED position. It does say about standard bios beep codes and what errors they represent, but he doesn't have a beep speaker.

The problem is OP and me don't live in the same city otherwise cross-checking and plugging in different parts wouldn't be an issue to double down on what specific component(s) is(are) faulty. :/

OP has made a post on ASUS forums I think. Hopefully they can help out to specifically point out what the issue is. He even installed a new RAM stick but it still crashes like that.
