So... at least I know it wasn't the expensive R9.
Damn you MSI!
I'll try a few other tips if anyone has anything, otherwise might revert back to an Asus B550i

It's bios a setting which was not the default and/or where the default changed, causing your OS issues. I'd take a look at UEFI on a whim, as I think that was not shipping as default for a long time, but recently has been. Do you know if your OS drive boot sector is GPT or MBR? Some settings depend on GPT. Could be >4gb access or something like that as well.
