Ryzen Game Crashes

My rig is of following configuration :-

  1. Ryzen 5 1600,
  2. Gigabyte GAB350-m Gaming 3 motherboard
  3. Ram, 8GB, Corsair vengeance LPX, CMK8GX4M1A2400C16R
  4. Zotac GTX 1080 mini card
  5. Corsair RM 1000x PSU.

The thing is my system is crashing while gaming, I tried various games and here are the results :-

  1. Return Of Tomb Raider. On any setting it just starts and crashes itself, after every 10-15 seconds.
  2. Doom, Runs fine most of the time, but now crashes every time, when loads up, it now even dont load any level, just crashes on game screen, I was at the last level.
  3. Witcher3, crashes in every 5-10 min.
  4. Xcom2, crashes very frequently, either in the start before playing game, only once i was able to play for like 30 minutes, and then also after completing the mission it crashed.

All of my games are from steam. I did try individual tweaks for games, but I am sensing a pattern may be a hardware problem or some compatibility issues in my system. I did check my motherboard supported RAM list, it is not there, but in corsair website, they did said its Ryzen tested.

My system works well, when doing non gaming tasks such as web surfing, watching movies, words, excel etc.
On software front, I am running latest windows home, but windows is not activated. I have latest nvidia driver installed. And also latest chipset with ryzen power balanced mode. I did try fresh drivers installed, but no improvement.
I did run cpu stress test, gpu stress test, they run without any issues.

Could it be RAM issue, i dont want to buy a new RAM, I already did that with my PSU. Please help me, I have earlier build many system with intel didnt face any such issues.
Also I am on latest f6 BIOS, no overclocking. I posted similar thread in Gigabyte but no help so far.

This one? https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AB350M-Gaming-3-rev-10

That ram isn’t on the VQL. Shouldn’t be an issue tho.

  1. Post temps for cpu/gpu. Idle + load.
  2. Download Ryzen Timing Checker (RTC). Psw: RyzenDRAM Post the results.
  3. Raise the SoC to 1.1v and Dram to 1.35v
  4. Have you tried 2133 Mhz?
  5. Check for the fabriaction issue: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/ryzen-pre-week-25-fabrication-rma-issue/118658
  6. “gpu stress test” - Which one? How long?

@catsay knows more about this than I do.
