I have the ryzen 5 2400g, gigabyte GA-AB350N-Gaming WIFI, 16gb of 3000mhz(downclocked to 2933 for compatibility) 3000mhz ripjaws V ram, and a 600w bronze corsair PSU.

I have a 256gb SSD and a 1tb barracuda hard drive. Windows is installed on the SSD with some other programs like GPU-Z.
- I downloaded GTA 5 to run a benchmark and it gave me about 5 fps through the entire
benchmark [as well as story mode]. All settings were on the lowest possible and 720p.

I have not run a memcheck or chkdsk. I have windows 10 pro.

Some other issues include it randomly crashing, though hasn't done it for an hour or so, and giving a driver loop error.

All of my drivers are installed and up to date, including mobo. I'm a very competent pc builder, but this has me stumped. Please help.
 
Solution
Manually download the AMD video drivers and attempt to install them. Your last statement contradicts your original post of "All of my drivers are installed" ...

I've tried changing around the vram allocation from 512, to 1gb, to 2gb- doesn't make a difference. I have HWmonitor and amd's little program open to make sure nothing is overheating. I did notice that in GPU-Z under sensors, it doesn't give current clocks or temps. It only gives a readout of 0mhz. I manually set the GPU frequency, via bios, to 1250(stock). It didn't make a difference either.

Sorry for the late reply! HWInfo64 Is reading that it has an 800mhz clock, which is understandable because it's not under load atm.

I also noticed something with it and what I think is the culprit. Under devices in windows, it shows that in the video adapter that it has microsoft basic adapter (Despite me trying to update via AMD's site). Any thoughts?
