Hey there! Can anyone help me?

Here's the situation: I have just upgraded my rig, and the only pieces that aren't new are the PSU and the GPU. They were workin really fine before upgrading everything else (and formatting). The problem here is: Everytime i try to launch anything that needs my GPU, the pc restarts. Games (Wolfenstein,Overwatch,TERA) and stresstests (furmark) I tried AMD driver 17.7.1 , and the latest one (as of 11.13.2017) (always uninstalling the drivers via DDU on safemode) . Already checked the CPU, the RAM Memory, the PSU, the SSD and the HDD. Everything is working fine. Already took off the GPU, cleaned connectors with rubbing alcohol, put it back in. I mean,everything GPU related was working fine before the massive change on the other pieces, and now it seems that the GPU itself is causing those reboots. One thing i noticed in HWMonitor is that the frequency is really low (300MHz/150MHz) . Checked the temps, and they're fine. Pc literally restarts like 1 second after demading more of the GPU, so no temperature problem.
Can anyone help? thanks!!

Hey,

I've been glancing at your mobo manual.. http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/AB350M.pdf

What changes have you made in the BIOS? For instance have you been overclocking this PC?

Is the BIOS up to date or is there a firmware update available?

If I were you I would reset the BIOS to factory defaults and see if the GPU is still giving you problems & you're still seeing PCI errors in device manager

If there are firmware updates for the BIOS I would not apply them until after you do the factory reset

Can't guarantee this will work but it's what I would do

Did you re-install ALL the motherboard drivers after the format ?   
What version of windows were you running before the format ?
Have you got the drivers disc supplied with the GPU ? if so, try them drivers.
Does the motherboard have windows 10 drivers available ( check at the motherboard makers web site) If so, download and install them.
