Problem with a 3400g

Hello I've recently built a  new computer with 3400g using integrated graphics (no GPU) . The first processor worked for about 2 weeks then black screened and wouldn't turn on. I retuned the processor and the new Apu worked for a week and now is also black screening. The trouble shooting  led on my motherboard  is again saying  there is a problem  with the APU. Am I just losing the silicon lottery or is there something I'm missing. My pc specs are 

Asus ROG Strix  b450 F gaming motherboard using the latest bios to work with the 3400g 

 2X8 G.Skill  Trident Z rgb  3600 set at 2800 ( to avoid the ram limitation of the Apu)

1tb  ssd 

cx750m corsair power supply 

hyper 212 cpu cooler  and enough case fans  to keep the Apu bellow 70 degrees even under the most sustained load

 If you can thing of anything that might fix the black screening id appreciate it

All you can try is to run CPU with stock cooler that shipped with CPU and check if that works, may be you may have issue with 3rd party cooler
