Hello all.
I just completed my Ryzen build and was attempting to overclock my 1700. I downloaded CPUz, HWMonitor, and AMD's RyzenMaster. Any overclock above 3.8ghz on all 8 cores causes the screen to go black in the middle of running CPUz benchmark. According to AMD software as well as HWMonitor, the temps never reach 60°C.
In BIOS, I have it set to shut down at 85°C.
I have no idea why the black screen. Am I maybe running out of power, defective MOBO not relaying temperature properly? Any help on this would be awesome.
Specs:
Ryzen 1700
Biostar x370gt5
CF Rx 480 powercolor red dragon
Raidmax 80+bronze 635w PSU
Gammaxx 400 with second fan for push/pull
16GB ddr4 ram
256gb m.2 Intel ssd

I don't think that you're running out of power. Check your CPU voltage, make sure it's an O.K. number. I don't know what is an 'okay' number for Ryzen, but just make sure it's not peaking out of nowhere.

You think it's the PSU? I've seen this PSU used in overclocks and it does perfectly fine.
