I recently bought a 2400G and I'm quite happy with the performance but its bringing alot of problems, random blue screens, only being able to run 2666mhz on my 3200mhz kit. I've always been a bigger fan of intel because my last pc was intel. With these new chips ive decided to try the ryzen because I was ballin on a budget. I came across a 760 my brother had and tried it along side the 2400g, I know it really dosent make sense because it disabled the iGPU but there was definitely an increase in gaming performance. In Fortnite I get about 130fps+ but get lovely blue screens randomly after about 40 mins give or take of game play, random crashes of programs and games. I get about 170+ FPS in csgo (this is with the 760).

My concern is I've always seen AMD as having problems. In the future I plan to get a 1050 or 1060, what CPU would be best for my future plans of upgrading? I'm currently still in the return policy for my 2400G so I could just swap it and the mobo I bought for the i3 and a LGA 1151 mobo. Thoughts?

the green/blue screens are a ryzen igpu issue related to drivers. you could maybe try doing a gpu driver flush and testing out difference versions, but i dont really know everything about it.

for more specific answers to your 2400g blue screen issues you should hop on the official owners thread on ocn...

they are going to be able to help you out much more than this forum.

if you cant resolve the issue then you might be better off just buying an r5 2600(or r5 1600) and keeping your motherboard and everything the same. the 6 core 12 thread ryzen cpu is excellent and will easily handle your future gtx1060(or equivelent) needs.

It would bluescreen before the GPU addition, I'm sure the GPU works because my brother was using it no problem before me.

2400g @ 3.9ghz
8GB G.skill ripjaw V @2666mhz
Asus b350-f Gaming
gtx 760 2gb
250gb OCZ SSD

I was thinking of taking the memory down to 2133(default) to see if it still bluescreens

also, with your 2400g... i wouldn't even bother overclocking the cpu cores. you have plenty of cpu power. save any vcore or heat for the intergrated graphics core. if you find your blue screens go away when nothing is overclocked, then you likely need more vcore on the igpu and/or better cooling.
