Is there a problem with the motherboard, or is it more about your skills?
I recently upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 7 2700X to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Initially, I faced issues because I hadn't updated the BIOS beforehand. Now the PC boots fine, but gaming—especially titles like Palword Sea of Thieve, Escape from Tarcov, Rainbow Six Siege, and BeamNG.DRIVE—has been problematic. The crashes mostly stopped during BeamNG.DRIVE, though it’s now running smoothly. Currently, my setup includes a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, an RTX 3070, 32GB of RAM, and an 850W power supply. I’ve tried various fixes: reinstalling drivers, updating Windows twice, reinstalling the game, and changing GPUs (GTX 1030, GTX 1060). When I swapped cards, the PC lost internet connection and the screen displayed oddly. I checked for updates but found none. Someone on another forum mentioned a potential motherboard issue. Could this be the problem, or am I just having trouble with my PC? Any advice or information would be really helpful.
Your complete system details are ready. I haven’t encountered any prior problems with the 2700X.
Which BIOS version was installed on the motherboard? What are the CPU temperatures recorded? How much RAM is displayed by Windows as used?
I noticed a high of around 75c, possibly up to 22gb during Tarcov, but my RAM is only 8gb.
Navigate to your motherboard settings and check the displayed temperature readings. Please share a screenshot of those values.
