I upgraded my PC from a FX-6300 to a Ryzen 5 1600. This also meant upgrading the motherboard and ram. I kept my Sapphire HD 7850. I set everything up, did a clean install of windows, drivers, and games. I updated to the latest bios and everything was going smoothly. Then I tried to play a game, csgo to be exact. I kept getting freezes. It would freeze for a couple of seconds and then come back, only to freeze again right after. This keeps happening until I finally get the message "CSGO.exe has been denied access to the graphics hardware." Then the screen stays on the same frame, but I can still hear all of the audio as if I'm still playing. Of course only csgo is stuck; I can alt-tab back to desktop and close csgo.
I get similar results with every game I play. With overwatch, I get a pop-up saying that "Your rendering device has been lost. The application will now close." With League of Legends, I just freeze a bit and black screen. I can alt tab back to the desktop and then back into the game and it will come back. However, I will get the black screen again very shortly.
Everything runs smoothly except games. I can even run stress tests (OCCT, MSI Kombustor) with no crashing, so I have little reason to believe that it is a graphics hardware issue. I have used DDU to uninstall my drivers and reinstall new ones, trying various versions and still getting the same results. I have tried putting my brother's Radeon HD 7750 into my computer and same results. I have tried clean installs of windows to no avail. I have used CCleaner to clean up the registry. At this point, I'm a lost. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
