Experiencing green screen crashes post-upgrading your CPU can be exasperating, especially after exhausting initial troubleshooting steps. To further address the issue, consider checking BIOS compatibility by ensuring the latest version compatible with your ASUS motherboard and Ryzen 5 5500 CPU is installed, as newer updates may resolve compatibility issues.
Additionally, verify that your TridentZ RGB RAM is listed on the ASUS motherboard's Qualified Vendor List (QVL) to avoid potential instability caused by incompatible memory. Delving into the Windows Event Viewer might unveil critical errors coinciding with the crashes, shedding light on the underlying problem. While FurMark stress tests didn't induce crashes, attempting GPU stress tests like Unigine Heaven could pinpoint a defective GPU if crashes occur during these tests.
Although hesitant, scrutinize the power supply unit (PSU) for potential failure under load, considering a temporary swap with a known-good PSU for isolation. Lastly, as a final measure, consider underclocking the CPU slightly in the BIOS to mitigate stress on the system, particularly if overclocking or voltage instability is suspected.
By methodically investigating these elements and leveraging system logs, you can identify the root cause of the green screen crashes, while seeking insights from online communities specific to your hardware combination can provide additional assistance.
