I’ve assembled a new computer with the following components: an Intel Core i5-1400 processor running at 3.8 GHz, 16GB of DDR4 RAM at 2800 MHz with CL16 timings, a GTX 1050Ti graphics card, an MSI PC Mate motherboard, and a CX750 power supply. Since this was a fresh build, I hadn't installed any drivers initially. While most of my games run without issue, many Windows 10 titles and some newer releases frequently crash. My system clocks are consistently stable after testing them for extended periods without errors. I’m wondering if others experience similar difficulties; perhaps Ryzen processors aren't fully optimized or if there is a hardware incompatibility within my setup. I suspect it might be related to Windows itself, but if that's the case, what steps can I take to resolve it, or is this a widespread issue with no solution?

Have you attempted to make a bootable USB drive containing a Windows 10 installation? This will install the newest version, and if you’re experiencing driver difficulties, it may resolve them when installed on an unpartitioned drive.

When pushing performance limits, revert to default settings and verify results afterward.
