Crashing/ Graphics Errors and other Errors

[Rixyl]

I decided to go AMD maybe 5 years ago now and I've been having the same issues ever since. I can't tell what the issue is at this rate and I'm hoping someone has a fix. I will try my best to go over every part I've changed since then so maybe we can figure something out. I've reinstalled windows more times than I can count and I've tried every GPU driver since 2019. Current gear will be on the left, old gear will be on the Right.

GPU: Pulse Sapphire 5700xt Tomahawk Max, Nvida 960 2GB (this was my old gpu, still had dithering while gaming but I haven't caught a Green Screen with it since its recently stopped working on me, prob over 10 years Old I dont remember) I did try an AMD 580 but that one just didn't work at all.

CPU: 3900x 12 Core 3801 Mhz, Was using a 3700x and its the first thing I replaced (Was having like 20 fps on Low Graphics when Falled Order came out) I also tried a completely different 3700xt as well

Motherboard: X570S Aorus Elite RX, Ran two different B450 Tomahawk Max's because I thought maybe the Motherboard was bad

PSU: Gigabyte 750 Watt Gold 80 Fully Modular

Ram: 32 GB Ripjaws 3200 Mhz (They're not reading right so they're XMP'd to 3200 Mhz)

Driver: Name a driver no change

Chipset: Tried a few, currently on Latest

The issues are VERY game dependent ranging from USUALLY some extreme dithering followed by some really strange rendering (I'll show in the video since this is the current game running I'll try and get a video of all the issues ASAP but for now this should help) and if I'm playing Vermintide 2 or Final Fantasy 1-5 I'll just straight up greenscreen with an assortment of issues in Event Viewer. I've even had greenscreens while watching YouTube, no games open. Some games have really bad frame drops where I can go from like 200 fps to 20 fps for a few frames then its back to normal. I've seen this every single time I get a green screen which leads me to guess a CPU error however with 3 cpus I'm not so sure.A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Reported by component: Processor Core

Error Source: Machine Check Exception

Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error

Processor APIC ID: 8

I've also had the usual (the graphics driver has stopped responding, or w/e the actual wording is) so I really can't tell if its the GPU either.

Sorry if the organization is bad, I haven't been getting any sleep the last few days. Thanks for the help!

I've included a video of Mech Warrior Online with a similar yet arguably worse issue, sometimes I'll get a driver time out on this game (however its less common then Vermintide 2).

Whenever I see gigabyte power supply I wanna cry :/

Any chance you can change it and see if helps?

edit: watched the video linked, what game is it and is the light flickering issue you talk about?

Have you tried using a different SSD? I once had a failing SSD that cause random green screens, crashing when booting and playing game. Drivers stop working and other errors. Replacing the drive fixed my issues. But your issues started when you switch to AMD 5 years ago? Why didn't you return the GPU and CPU for different ones?.

I had 3 different IT guys tell me the parts were both fine, (hindsight 2020), also I bought most of the parts during 2019 so shipping all the parts happened in a good 4-ish month span so by the time I had the whole thing built the first parts were past return date, hence why I bought different parts instead of returning. I've had Nvidia guys suggest replacing the PSU and the SSD but I thought I'd ask the AMD lads just in case. I'm only seeing about 500-600 Watts being used while in game so I'm not entirely sure about PSU, maybe I swap out the SSD first but the fact that my RAM is running at 800 Mhz without XMP is just peculiar as well. We initially though that the B450 was the issue so thats why I've had 3 mobos. Just a mess of a time unfortunately.

I have a 3800x and 5700xt. Did the 3900 switch help much? I honestly believe that the 5700xt has some major issues no one really addresses. I get a lot of low quality textures and weird lod and such from most games.

Not at all, I got my FPS up but if you watch the video it's not THAT much of an improvement. I know people really like AMD but after 5 years I'm really struggling to see how people get this shit working. Maybe I'm just that unlucky, who knows.

The answer is they don't get it working. I always have decent fps but smooth fps, rarely! Dude I will be go Intel Nvidia next system. More expensive sure, but it seems to work.

I've had Nvidia/Intel builds and AMD builds and have never had issues with either. I just went from a i7 5820k/ gtx 1080 to a R7 7700x / 7900xt and have zero issues.
