The past month has been full of up and down with this new computer.
(Thankfully everything is FIXED now!)
First this is an amazingly FAST computer as you can tell in my Benchmarks of the AMD Ryzen.
I have done some Video Editing and it is very smooth. This PC can keep up with some intense stuff. I have also been playing a lot of VR on this pc and its amazing! Check out all the unboxing videos I made and edited using the new AMD Ryzen 1700x editing PC! (Scroll down to see)
But then there are all the times I am listening to music and the sound gets slow and makes a digital sound, then the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death)…
These are just some of the times it crashes, I couldn’t always get my camera out in time.
(Update 5-5-2017 – I think the source of the errors was using the Drivers that came with the hardware, I reinstalled windows and only used Windows Update for the drivers, which found everything and has not crashed yet…)
(UPDATE 2 – 6/15/2017 – I have been using the computer the past month with no issues! No blue screens, no digital sounds, no issues at all!)
(Update 3 – 7/22/2017 – After the month of no blue screens, they started again. But this time I updated the BIOS from (3/14/2017 Ver 5.0000C to 6/26/2017 Ver 5.0000C) and it seems to have finally fixed all the issues I have been having! The computer even boots up twice as quick and I can run at FULL RAM SPEED! Amazing BIOS update! Anyone with issues should try this update first!)
The AMD drivers have been updating almost weekly, and a few BIOS updates which it seems to have been helping… maybe, but there have also been a few windows updates.
Only time will tell if they can sort out all the bugs and make this a stable platform.
(UPDATE 6/15/2017 – This pc is great now! YAY)

The new Windows 10 Creators Update is HERE!
I applied the update and it rebooted several times and then we get to this screen:
Then I went about my normal business, Listening to music and editing my website… Then a BSOD:
I guess this mess is not quite fixed yet…
