    Tried everything! Random shutdowns and black screens - Need help!

    Yep...been 2 days now and no lockups. To be fair I had built this system because my old system's memory was dying. Then the GPU crapped out. All I can say is I'm glad it's finally over. I had to make sure I returned said 'testing' items so I wasn't floating $$$ out of my savings too....one set...

    Final update - After multiple tests and another overnight P95 run it appears that this has been resolved. I have now tested it at 3200 mhz on the ram timings and 3000 mhz to be safe but both pass. The last thing is for me to lose out AI Suite and see if it will adjust the fans still based on the...

    I wish! Man that process was a total PITA. It took nearly 3 months to get them to finally not only HAVE a board to advance ship but also convince them to do it in the first place.... Been a full day and no black screen yet! :nailbiting:

    Already swapped it for a new one. Update: Looks like I may have finally figured it out. I uninstalled ASUS AI Suite III, HWInfo, and ASUS Aura Sync. Started testing with Prime95 again last night, 1 hour of LFF passed, then another 2! Later in the evening I started a blend test in P95 and it ran...

    Already replaced the board via RMA with Asus. Same issues from their new board and my original.

    So I've been continuing to troubleshoot this issue. I've now tested 3 sets of memory all SK Hynix ICs. I was unable to get any of them to remain stable even after changing the CPU. Trident Z RBGs 3200 and 3000 CAS 16. I even tried pushing 1.4v on the memory. All of them either black screen...

    Update - Just finished rebuilding into a new case (Moiught as well if I'ms tripping everything out again because of CPU testing. I put a new Ryzen 2600x in there and I'm hoping there will be some resolution this week with some additional memory testing with this new CPU. Here's to hoping it's...

    So it passed for 30+ mins @ ~2128 mhz or 'auto' on the MB under LFF. It's got to be memory related. I'm doubting it's the actual sticks though....

    Ok I've continued testing....down-clocked the new memory sticks and running LFF. I'm assuming this is going to pass. If it does then that would mean the it's something to do with the memory, but having changed out 2 sets of sticks I'm starting to lean on it potentially being the on-board CPU...

    Ran LFF again and core 3 failed after 4 mins....

    And SFF passed for 30 mins without fail....WTF.

    Large FFT Core 11 failed after 8 mins. That should confirm CPU correct?

    Tried everything! Random shutdowns and black screens - Need help!

    Well today I bought a new case, 2 DIFFERENT types of RAM (3200 same as I currently have, and 3000 same brand and listed as compatible with the mobo), and a new Ryzen 2600x. I plan to try and figure it out before Disneyland on Sunday :) On a side note I was just trying to stress the system and...

    Update - Tried running an industrial grade extension cord to another plug in another room (One that was on a different circuit in the house).....system still locked up. How would I read the voltages of those plugs if the system is still running? There's no place to stick a multi-meter into the...

    Yea the PSU was just replaced so I don't think that's it. I'll double check the next time it locks up but I'm 99% sure the Caps Lock button doesn't work since all the power to the keyboard cuts off since the LEDs go out. Not sure I could even check that since there's no indicator. Mobo was just...
