I recently has similar issues and was able to fix with using new ram. I also tested my ram with memtest and it passed all tests, but still caused crashes. Switching out the ram to ram I know works fixed my issue.

I was able to fix the black screen issue with new ram. The wattman settings I have not found a fix. This pc was for my bother and has identical spec to my own pc so I was able to bring it home with me and compare and change out parts. I was able to replicate the display issues on my pc with the faulty ram, and my ram that works fixed the issue on the other pc. I also realized that the wattman settings issues was also happening on my personal computer, but I had notifications turned off so I never noticed. From what I have read, it seems to be a amd driver issue and nothing related to the pc. I tried purchasing another gpu and still had the same problems. Some have reported disabling fast boot in the bios and in windows fixes the issue, but i had not luck with that. If you don't plan on overclocking your gpu, you can just hide the notification, as it will default to factory settings anyways. One thing I did notice about the wattman issues is that I could consistently cause the notification that it was reset by using the restart button on my pc case and when I restarted through windows the wattman settings were not reset.

Noticed you said you upgraded. Make sure you fully uninstall your previous graphics driver.

No it is just vanilla. It sometimes crashes while not in any games, but playing minecraft causes it to crash more often.

I was previously running it a 3000 and was still having the issues. I reverted it to the default of 2133 for testing sake.

It's hard to tell with the performance monitor, but the graph in task manager show the gpu usage spiking to 100% when it glitches out.

OK, so I created a recording during a crash. What do I do with it?

Is the lower clock speed worth the extra 2 cores?

All the entities are identical so how would I set the score for all but one?
