So as to not continue hijacking the Monster Hunter thread where
Zindan
and
Janx
were helping me, will jump over here where it seems more appropriate...
Been trying to get my new computer build up and running:
Everything seemed to work fine as far as windows, apps, 3DMark bench, HWInfo, etc. Temps are low 40s at idle on both CPU and GPU. I initially installed Win 11 and got basic things installed like Steam. BIOS settings were mostly untouched with the exception of initially turning on EXPO for the RAM.
Went to benchmark Monster Hunter and got it to complete the benchmark once. Every attempt to run the bench after that it has crashed. Tried playing the game and constant crashes. Using the AMD Overlay while playing GPU/CPU temps, power, clock speed, etc all seem perfectly normal. Nothing spikes or is oscillating wildly.
I tested the main memory with memtest86 (and now have various versions of TM5, memtest64, etc that I have NOT run exhaustively), tested the GPU memory with memtest vulkan. With vulkan I could actually create GPU memory errors by undervolting or messing with memory clock in Adrenaline. Leaving it stock passes with 0 errors though.
Last night I reformatted and installed Windows 10 and did nothing but GPU driver + Steam + Monster Hunter and it once again crashed after about 10 seconds.
Zindan
suggested trying to FFIV benchmark so I grabbed that this morning and it also crashes almost immediately. Oh, both this and MH I've tried at the lowest of low settings as well as Ultra, in between. FSR Off/On. Any combination I could think of.

He also suggested trying to Khazan demo. Just finished playing it for about 45 minutes with no crashes at all. Worked perfectly with Ultra settings, everything turned on I could find. Willing to try any other demo as well or post whatever settings. Very odd that some things just crash. I tried DX11 vs. DX12 in Khazan with no change. I have NOT tried that on the FFIV bench though.
Today I have two more dual channel RAM kits coming in that I'm going to swap out. I'm also going to grab my 3080 from another computer and put in in here to see if that changes anything. May do a fresh install of Windows for that also.
Any ideas? My first AMD build so feels like I'm missing something...
