I've been having problems were l4d2 will randomly crash my computer completely (the screen will go black the audio will stutter and rapidly repeat and then the system will go into a boot loop until I manually reset it) this has happened in  portal 2 and a game based in UE3 as well. Ive uninstantiated and reinstalled the game, updated and downgraded my GPU drivers (RX580), Ive changed the compatibility mode to windows 7 and 8, and ran furmark for 40 minutes to see if the psu or gpu was having hardware problems (it wasn't) not really sure what to do now. I was suggested to try to install direct x 9.0 but haven't been able to successfully do that if someone could tell me how or if you have any other ideas whats going on i would appreciate it, thanks.

Sounds to me the CPU or RAM isn't stable.

Try to run aida64 for the CPU and see if that's stable, also check temps (you can use aida64 or hwinfo for temp monitoring)

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Just ran it for 4 hours, no stability issues. also temps are normal maxed at 52c under fullload on the cpu

What CPU cooler do you have?

I know Ryzen runs quite cool but that sounds a bit too good to be true for a stock cooler...
