Windows 10: Ryzen 5 3600 crashing on new Gigabyte Aorus X570 Pro Wi-Fi MOBO

Hi guys,Having issues after upgrading my MOBO and it’s driving me nuts. I used to have a B350 chipset MOBO but decided it was time to upgrade to X570, as well as upgrading from the AMD stock cooler.Since installing the new MOBO I’ve had nothing but issues. I have freshly installed windows multiple times on my boot SSD after using disk part to clean the drive and then convert it to GPT. All my MOBO drivers are downloaded and up to date as well as my GPU drivers, chipset, and BIOS.When running the CPU stock I can get the system to post however after 10-30 minutes of playing games my whole comput

Ryzen 5 3600 and air cooling

B450 AORUS M (rev. 1.0) | Motherboard - GIGABYTE U.S.A.

The Gigabyte B450 Aorus M Rev 1.0 supports the Ryzen 5 3600 from BIOS F40 (16 May, 2019) on. The current BIOS is F50 (27 November, 2019).

I don't think I'd call an X570 a "more powerful" motherboard. More compatible, mainly. My opinion is that if you're going with a third generation Ryzen, it'd be worth a modest additional expense to get a board that was designed for it. It can be a modest expense in the US. I don't know what it'd be where you are. I'm using an MSI MPG X570 Plus Gaming, with a Ryzen 9 3900X. (I don't game.) $170US. About double the Gigabyte B450, but not much of a difference in the total system cost.

The Gigabyte B450 Aorus M does M.2. The Ryzen 5 3600 would support PCI-E 4.0 on an X570 motherboard, but only PCI-E 3.0 on a B450 board. (No benefit to PCI-E 4.0 without an SSD that supports it, of course.)

I wonder whether the stock cooler is really inadequate if you're not overclocking? The main criterion is avoiding having the CPU throttle due to exceeding its specified temperature threshold. You should be OK if that never happens, although maybe you'd like to run cooler if you expect to keep the processor for 10 years. (Heaven knows what home computing will look like in 2030.)

Ok, but R7 2700X is a different cpu/cooler. I read about people that are having heat problems with R5 3600. I will have to get a better cooler.

I don't want to risk high temps. I must get a better cooler. I have seen people calling the stock cooler "garbage".
I'll think about your mobo suggestion.
