I have upgraded my child's computer which includes new memory, motherboard, cpu and Power Supply. We transferred over the hard disks since he had so much data but they are not too old.
His upgraded system is Ryzen 5 1600, 8 GB ram, 600w Power Supply (Corsair), I believe the memory is Corsair Vengeance but will have to look. Initially he was having problems with the aging gpu, or so I thought, an Nvidia GTX 660, but now i'm not so sure it's GPU related at all. I got a new gpu for him, an RX 560 4gb. Problems persist as follows
Random black screen, regardless of what he is doing. It will crash and reset (as he described an error once when it crashed and said it was unable to reset the driver) regularly. He is unable to play games (both with the old and new gpu).
I have updated the bios on the mother board (Gigabyte AB350 Gaming) checked and updated the radeon drivers and the problem, still persists. Looking through forums I have seen various solutions that seem to be hit and miss for a lot of people and I have hit a wall here, and have no idea what to look at.
It is not overclocked. There isn't any kind of overclocking on memory, cpu or gpu at all. Everything is set to the standard default and it's Windows 10.
I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.
*note* I've been having some issues with my upgraded computer also but it's not as severe. I'm worried it's related to the Ryzen upgrade since I've upgraded to Ryzen 7 1700 myself with gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 mobo.
