I have an MSI x370 Carbon Pro motherboard running windows 10 with an AMD Ryzen 1700x CPU an AMD Radeon 390x 8gb GPU. I run 16gb of Corsair ram at 3000mhz and no OC settings (but my issues does happen when I OC, so I don't think its linked to the actual OC settings.)

When I attempt to play PUBG I crash on the start, I was having this issue for months and finally found a temporary solution. I have to go into the task manager and set the CPU affinity to only 2 cores. The game then loads past the splash screen and I can reset the CPU to use all Cores. The game will then crash when I finish a game (almost never crashes while playing) unless I go back into the task manager and lower the affinity again before clicking return to the menu. This is extremely annoying and I have tried BIOS updates, driver updates, and OCing vs no OCing. Reinstalled the game on 3 different SSD's, the only thing that gets around it is the CPU affinity so that leads me to think it has something to do with AMD CPU's? It doesn't do it on my Asus Rox Strix Laptop. I have ReLive turned off, and that is more of a CPU think anyway, any help or ideas would greatly be appreciated. I do plan on upgrading the GPU soon, but again I don't think my issue is with anything but the CPU. A lemon perhaps?

I think your OC is not stable. From the information it seems that only 2 cores are stable with the OC settings.

Does PUBG run Ok when the 1700x is at stock settings? If yes then lower your OC and try again.

If it's only happening to PUBG then probably is due to bad game optimisation for AMD Ryzen.

Happens when I don't OC and when I do, but I have friends it doesn't happen to who run Ryzen.

mh - pls reduce RAM speed to 2400

also what are your voltages?

[mrcoldhollow]

Why would I reduce ram speed? its rated at 3000 and is one of most recommended for the motherboard. Voltages are all original, I mentioned above that the problem happens just as much when I don't change anything. The only change comes when I reduce the affinity on the CPU for the game.

...
be because 2400 always runs fine...

you use Ryzen 1 with an maybe old Bios and AGESA - so it is possible that 3000 is now to fast for your RAM or mem-controller

again: what are your voltages?

VDDCR SOC = 1.1V
MEM VTT = 0.7V
Ram voltage = 1.35V - 1.4V

[mrcoldhollow]

Perhaps I am missing something, but why would the RAM be causing the one game to not pair well with the CPU. 3000 runs fine and it did it on 2100 before I realized it wasn't running at 3000

ok looks like you never OCed ram before:

its about  timings - its possible that 99% of apps running fine - but some games will crash

like yesterday i tried my Samsung B-Dies to run 3666MHz at CL14 // it was "stable"ish - i could run Cinebench etc
but when i played games and watched a video on second screen my game crashed! - and all because of tRFC was to low (388 instead of needed 480) (plus some other subtimings) - and 1.5V shouldnt be used 24/7

and again: what are your other voltage?
important: SOC Voltage + MEM VTT + DRAM Voltage

Have you tried turning off Hyperthreading?

Hello,

Google is your friend: Crash issues - Information Collection - Troubleshooting - PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS Forums

Also PUBG is coded really badly, just look at how many cheaters play the game, it mean the code could be manipulated quite easy.

So i advise you to update your bios, update your gpu drivers, update you chipset drivers, update windows.

Dunno if it is an AMD issue with PUBG or just BlueHole that find out a bug too difficult to patch.
