Processors

I was using a Ryzen 7 2700x with 6600 XT  with no problems at all, i've purchased a 5600 to upgrade the processor, my motherboard should be fine to support the 5600 since the TDP is lower than the 2700x. Since i've installed the processor, i was looking to test the COD Warzone and the PC insta reboots, i've looked at the Windows event log and the WHEA LOGGER 18 showed up...

I think since my 2700x was good for about 2 years and then i upgraded to 5600, the 5600 is the problem here, should i RMA the chip?

Is your motherboard BIOS up to date? Might need to be updated to the lastest BIOS.

The BIOS is the latest stable, version 5.0 -> Motherboard Asrock B450 PRO 4, the BIOS have 2 other recent versions, but its beta versions.

Hmm, might be a chip issue then. Did you retry the 2700x or already got rid of that? I

I will test the Ryzen 7 2700x again to see, but its never happened with the 2700, thats why i think it might be the chip bugged.

I've tested with 2700x and got no problems. Its was the CPU that is bugged, i've send it back to Amazon (where i buy It)
