Games crash with ryzen

[Ghost]

So I have two computers.
One has a phenom II x4 I believe and the other a ryzen 1600.
The phenom plays anything that supports it (cannot play mafia 3 or the division for exmaple).
No crashes or issues ever at all.

I decided to upgrade and purchased a ryzen 5 1400
2x8 DDR4 2133mhz
Xfx 550W bronze
Gigabyte ab350 gaming

After everything updated I tried to play games and they would all crash, tried a different gpu still have the same.
Reinstalled the os and various drivers and updated bios, still the same issue.
The ram is on the QVL list.
I replaced the motherboard and still the same issue, replaced the cpu with the ryzen 5 1600 and once again still crashes.

I've seen a lot of people reporting the same type of issues online, anyone found a way to fix it?

I don't want to have to buy an fx cpu just so that I can play games.

Curious fact: Escape from Tarkov doesn't crash at all, but any steam, uplay and origin games do.

Thanks in advance.

I have a Ryzen 1600 too and all games work the same way as they did on my previous Intel i5.
Did you tried if not the power supply is faulty?

Power supply worked fine on my other system.

The base is always the mobo. Take back that Gigabyte and try a MSI or ASUS. Maybe its not the issue, but generally Gigabyte mobos for AM4 don't have too good reviews.

Also whats your RAM? QVL list is one thing, but I would not put in some Team or UMAX into my PC, especially knowing how picky about RAM Ryzen is. (avoid any Hynix based RAM like plague, go Samsung or Micron)

Last time I checked I could still play Mafia III and The Division on my Phenom II 965.
Open Event Viewer and check the log entries.

have you tried ram one stick at a time?

Cheap RAM that doesn't work with Ryzen is what it sounds like to me.
If the RAM doesn't have Micron or Samsung chips on it, DO NOT use it with Ryzen, period.

You also need to lock in your RAM via the BIOS > XMP/AMP
You also need to use Win10 64bit and install all the latest Official Drivers from the chipset sites; like AMD > Downloads > Chipset

OS must also be set to either the AMD Power Profile (this installs via the Chipset Drivers) or select High Performance

I never look at those QVL Lists; for one they are never accurate. All that means is the Motherboard boots fine with those RAM, this means nothing in the way of stability.

Cheap ram that costed £150...

I have the chipset drivers and the power plan is set for AMD power profile.
Yes, my OS is 64bit since this is a desktop.

Well, I was looking for ram at the time and the lpx I had previously was causing crashes, so I replaced it with this one.
