Build:
ASRock X570 Steel Legend motherboard v1.7 BIOS
AMD Ryzen 3600 / Corsair water cooling
Gskill F4-3400C16D-16GSXW x 2 (4 sticks)
Samsung 970 Plus 250gb (boot)
Samsung 970 Plus 1tb
WD Red 4TB in mirror array
LD Bluray r/w x2

Everything works fine until I install the ASRock graphics drivers. After install, I can boot into Windows but about 5-15 seconds into desktop, the PC locks up. I have reinstalled Windows 10 Pro about five times trying different sequences (install Windows, all updates, the graphics drivers OR install Windows, no updates the graphics driver or ad infinitum).

If I don't install the Radeon drivers I can't run multiple displays and I am sure I am not getting much performance from my very expensive graphics card.

Thoughts?

Solved thanks to ReddishRat. Switched PCIE from Auto to Gen 2. No more lockups. No more multimonitor capability either.
