Issues with my new desktop (crashes, forced reboots, graphical glitches, possible coil whine)

Armoury Crate has a shifty BIOS entry that will keep trying to download & install it.

After I finally realised the issues it was causing, I disabled the option in the BIOS and did a complete wipe & reinstall of Windows to make sure.

In my BIOS, you can disable it under [Tools]>[Armoury Crate]>Download & Install ARMOURY CRATE App

Thanks for that great tip, will look for that when I go into the BIOS

So sorry to bring this post back, but I've got a few days off work, really didn't take long for the crashes and glitches to ramp up again. Had a couple of days with no issues, but I'm back to graphical glitches and hard crashes during gaming. It crashed on a different game, so now I know it's not just one game with performance issues: Steelrising had two crashes, this time it crashed with Dead Space. Only 2-3 minutes in, massive crash and a forced restart. Then when I started it again, I got very bag graphical artefacts on Steam's UI. Except this time, I got it on video, I'll attach a screen shot. Those white boxes flickered for a few seconds, mouse was unresponsive for about 2 minutes, then it went back to 'normal'.

Something different about this crash, it created a dump file, never done that before. I didn't see an actual blue screen, but anyway, it's some more information...

Very weird display issues too, windows not filling screens, taskbar icons flashing... I was getting a lot of error messages from AMD adrenalin about driver timeouts, then another 2 or 3 separate errors, I honestly can't remember them. I did run DDU like PCS advised, played games afterwards with zero problems, and these crashes are near-identical to what I was having before, so I don't feel like I've screwed up the PC...

If it helps I'll attach the other logs and events too.

Honestly, I'm not sticking with this hardware, something's obviously very wrong. Will probably end up having it collected, ugh... -_-

I hope the cloud link works, everything should be here: minidump, event logs, drivers, system information.

I would just do a clean install, fairly certain this is a driver issue.

Thanks! As in a clean Windows install, not DDU or anything?
