I keep getting black screen when running any hardware monitoring software.
I have Ryzen 1700
Asus Rog Strix B350F
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB 3000Mhz - 16-18-18-38
Sapphire HD 7750 OC 1GB (4 years old)
2 x 2TB Seagate SSHD
Corsair CX 600 PSU
2 x 1080P MONITOR

I overclocked my ryzen @ 3600 in auto cpu volts, max volts when stress testing is 1.221 & max temps in aida 64 is 72 C, Cpu calibrated from regular to medium and Soc calibrated to regular.

BIOS Ver. 0902, actually I replaced my mobo because I had some overclocking issues with BIOS Ver. 3805 (latest).

RAM is clocked to 2666 with 1.3500V in 48 ohms.

CPU CORE PERFORMANCE BOOST & GLOBAL C STATE is disabled.

I ran memTest86 no ERRORS, AIDA 64, PRIME 95 for 1 hour each, no errors.

Currently using stock cooler with CM Master gel Pro Paste.

Now here's my problems started, whenever I ran Speccy, CPUID HW, CPUZ my system crashed with black screen, never encountered with blue screen, all my fans are running, cpu lights are on. I need to switch off my psu to restart my pc. I don't know what's the problem, also tried manually offset CPU & SOC Voltage to 1.3 for CPU & 1.15 for SOC.

One more thing, I will put a GTX 970 in it in few weeks do I need a higher Watts PSU.

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Monitoring software can use low level code and can cause instabilities on a non-fully rock stable overclock.

That said you should not use Auto volts.
Perhaps your voltage dropped too much on auto volts? Set voltage manually to 1.35000V and your OC will stay. Most ryzen 1700s should hit 3.7 GHz or higher with that voltage.

Well, I guess you are right but 1.3500V can generate more heating issues, my current aida64 temps are 74C at 1.221V, and how can I check my pc is rock stable or not.
