Problems with ryzen 5 2400g and ASRock B450M-HLD R

   Hi,

I just bought a new PC with the following things:

ASRock B450M-HLD R4.0 (BIOS P1.0)
RYZEN 5 2400G 3.9GHz + Radeon Vega 11 AM4 STOCK Cooler
(stock settings, XLP profile for RAM, and 2gb allocated graphics memory)
2x8GB RAM Team DDR4 2666MHz T-Force Vulcan Red
Power Supply Corsair 450W CX450M Semi Modular 80 Plus Bronze
SSD Kingston A400 240gb 2,5'' Sata3
HHD Seagate 1TB Barracuda 64MB SATA 6GB/s

and also I already had a wifi card
TPLINK PCI Express Dual band AC AC1300 - Archer T6E

The problem only happends during games
I just tested the following games
GTA V
CS GO
The division 2

the system just Bricks. It shows black screen and I can't do nothing to restart the system. If I press and hold the power button, nothing happends, I also tried to press ctrl + win + shift + B to reset graphics drives but it doesn't work (I have the last recommended drives). The PC keep working but it shows black screen.

I have reinstalled windows 10 3 times and I tested it with different drives for the APU, I pulled off the wifi card and I change the SSD with other I have but it keeps doing the same.

So, I believe that you are going to recommend me to update the BIOS because the asrock web had a lot of BIOS updates
https://asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450M-HDV R4.0/index.es.asp#BIOS

so I would like and advise before upgrading the BIOS,
What should I do to prevent a fail during the BIOS upgrading?

And also the asrock webpage says that I need to upgrade to 1.4 before upgrade o the last version 2.3
and other thing that I don't understand is Why the page says that I need to install the VGA driver before upgrading the BIOS?

Thanks.
Leonardo.

	Wow, still on the original BIOS (1.00). https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450M-HDV%20R4.0/index.asp#BIOS If going by that page, you'd flash to 1.40, and then to 3.10. That's because they don't recommend going past that with Raven Ridge (2400G) CPU. Me personally, would go 1.40, and then all the way to 10.10. I don't think there's any other intermediate BIOS requirement. As for black-screeening while playing games, it might not have anything to do with BIOS. Have you checked the CPU temperature? Maybe the heatsink isn't installed properly (thermal paste bad/missing? incorrectly installed?). Broken fan, or not properly connected fan could be an issue, also. There could be million things that can cause system instability when loaded.
