Sorry to hear about this.

From what i read last week the cause primarily(?) surrounded ASUS motherboards not having the latest bios version installed. Even a user on the CSGO subreddit posted a issue with the game not launching like Destiny2. He had a 3600 and a Asus motherboard. Upgrading his bios didnt work.

Bios is up to date. I'm 100% certain my WHEA error is linked to mobo, AMD and Nvidia's current issues.
The random resets after looking at my error log seemed to be aimed more towards a hibernation issue so that is most likely windows. I've disabled hibernation to see if that fixes it and now I'm just waiting on Nvidia's patch.

Don't be sorry, being an week one adopter comes with risks I think it's good that for me to study my problems it's essentially a new computer, new mobo, new brand of cpu, new install of windows. Wolguineapig

Its something you'd only expect with a new Windows version being released. Hardware drivers and applications having compatibility issues.

What version of Windows 10 do you run?

The 1903 version that released in May. I suspect it is behind my hibernation errors and COM errors
 
Ryzen 2700 with the Wraith Spire for $150
Gigabyte Aorus Ultra X470 $95
G.SKILL Aegis 16GB 3000 $52

First bootup of the system took 20(?) seconds to identify i was using the display port. Afterwards the MSI motherboard configured the OS to boot with the new hardware; this shocked me. Did a fresh install with some CSGO testing. One hiccup is that my windows is failing to activate. Trying to resolve that now.

Edit: 10 minute call with Microsoft solved the OS issue. Time for some game testing : )

Ehh I just buy a new key for windows pro each time, costs me about $6 lmao
 
Now that the 2 days of "Prime Day" are over I combed through the flagged sales on websites & forums. If nothing else we can appreciate Prime Day for stimulating competition because Newegg simply destroyed Amazon in terms of the volume of truly appealing sales offered.
These SSD + RAM combo sales Newegg ran were legit:

Sale price was $169. Current best price on this combo is $251 (-33% discount).



In fact, you could have bought this core build for $811 in the past 48 hours (-28% off $1122 tender). I noticed the R7-2700 hasn't yet gone back up in price, either, which was $45-$50 more until its Prime Day drop:

So my ROG Strix x570-e Mobo and my Ryzen 3700x appear to be effected by the WHEA BSOD error associated with the new release. I'm using a 1080ti and Nvidia seems to be the most commonly reported incidence of it happening, a few Radeon's are getting it to, apparently NVIDIA are working on a fix, but at this point in time I haven't see the BSOD happen so I can't be sure if I get that, I usually just come back to my computer having been restarted.
I did a fresh install of windows when I installed the MOBO and CPU so I'm fairly certain It is from the WHEA error. I originally thought it was my Ram OC but it has happened with the ram running at stock speeds.
So I guess I just wait for the Nvidia patch.

EDIT: After doing some more research it also appears to be linked to RAM speeds. A lot of people are finding ram over 3000mhz is causing crashes and having to set theirs lower.
Who doesn't love the teething issues that come with new hardware lmao

What voltage is your cpu at? I had all sorts of weird stability issues last night when I installed a 3700x.
Turns out my mobo, Strix x470, was sending 1.45v on idle to the cpu and way to high of voltage for everything else.
I turned down voltages and everything’s stable.

Highest mine seems to get to is 1.312. I don't think its gone higher, even when playing games.

I think the crashes turned out to be due to the Hibernation error. I never had them while using, only while the computer was idle and I was away.

I had a similar issue with my 1700.
If my computer went to sleep and I woke it up, I’d have to restart my system or games would be choppy, FPS was shit, etc.

Mine would straight up just restart if it tried to come out of hibernation. I'd walk away or do something for an hour come back to my computer fully restarted, error was a hibernation issue. so I disabled hibernation and it appears to have fixed it. Just waiting on dat sweet Nvidia patch for the Whea errors now.

Scrap that, I just turned my automatic OC's off on the Mobo to see if I could fix stability and on auto it's getting 1.45 volts. I'm so confused by AMD I have no idea wtf is going on.

lolz.

now i feel bad about withholding a lot of info re: bios/voltage/etc. once it became clear that this was a blizzard 2.0 thread and i was about to be censored/the argument was going to devolve into walls of text in an increasingly irrelevant spiral with goalposts shifting, i didn't think it was worth posting.

i'll send/post some info later that should be helpful.

the 3800x still looks most interesting to me, but it's also the oddball and has the least production/benchmarks/etc.

it's good that i know nothing about any of this.

The high voltage is a motherboard issue, not the cpu.
I set my voltages to 1.3v and i’m letting it turbo itself. I’m hitting 4.2ghz.
Jayztwocents has a video, the overclocking the 3900x, that’s shows what to change.
 
Looking to sell my previous cpu, motherboard and ram. Someone bought my GPU last time i tried to sell something here.

CPU: i7 5820K
Motherboard: MSI X99S SLI Plus
Ram: 4x4gig DDR4-2400
Heatsink: Freezer i11

Looking for around $200.

**Sold**

Underload my voltage would drop considerably, but idle it sat high, I've been reading the reddits all week about this and AMD have been responding to it. But after doing what he said it still shows my idle at 1.45, maybe I misread it last night as it was 2am but I'll look into it again tonight.
I'm also gunna go through and check all my Mobo connectors to make sure they're all connected properly in case they're causing my random reboots.
