Ryzen APU bugs

[DatGuyOverDere]

If I try to play minecraft on my Ryzen 3 2200g APU, the screen randomly goes black and I have to restart my PC. Any suggestions on what to do?

 

EDIT: I updated the BIOS and the black screen is gone, but the frames dip from 60 to 20 sometimes

Make sure your video drivers are up to date. Download the latest drivers from AMD's website.

I updated the drivers, it works but sometimes it dips to 20 FPS

How is Ram allocation? How much Ram does the GPU im the APU have access to?

Run MEMTEST and check if the memory is OK.

single stick DDR4 8 GB 2400Mhz Ballistix RAM, Ryzen 3 2200G, MSI A320m Pro-VH, 120 GB Kingston SATA SSD + 500 GB Seagate hard drive, powered by Coolermaster Masterwatt lite 600

The thing with Ryzen APU's is that more than ever they are limited by your RAM memory bandwith. Because you are using only one 8GB stick, you are limited to only half the ram bandwith you could get, when using two 4GB sticks in dual channel. This halves your performance in graphical intensive tasks, and causes dips in performance.

 

This explains the dips, but not the black screen.

I updated the drivers and I'm no longer having the black screens, also would it work if I put an identical 8GB stick? (dual channel that is)

when was the last time you updated your bios for the MSI A320m Pro-VH and did you download the ryzen chipset drivers?

@DatGuyOverDere

Yes, that should work.
