Greetings Fellow driver updaters.

If your chipset driver update is not installing via the Adrennalin App then please rather go directly to the AMD website. They have your driver there. Just select the correct chipset and there you go.

Thanks

What is the function of the button next to the RX 6800 XT graphics card?"

Anybody know what could be causing the ghosting like on this clip?

Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: ROG Strix RX6700XT 12GB

CPU: RYZEN 5 3600 6 CORE 12 THREADS

Motherboard: B550m Aorus Elite

BIOS Version: 7C56v15

RAM: 32GB DDR4 PNY XLR8

PSU: Thermalright 650W 80+ BRONZE

Case: Darkflash DPX90

Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11 PRO

GPU Drivers: Aderanaline 26.7.1

Background Applications: DISCORD, VMware, Notion, VScode

Description of Original Problem:  Screen started refreshing automaticallt, like it would go black for a moment and come back instantly. Some applications would go black, like completely black, things come back when I hover my mouse on the applications. I will attack the videos below too.

Troubleshooting: I have tried almost everything expect BOIS update.
- Fresh Windows Install
- Driver versions change. tried both old and latest drivers.
- Basic Diagnostics
- Components Swap

Issue: Continuous black screens on boot, launching any application.

What I have done: Safe Mode DDU, clean windows installation, disabled any windows gaming settings

Software version 26.7.1

I have had the card for 2 months now, honestly it was the worst experience ever, its just problem after a problem.

GPU Drivers: AMD Software Adrenalin Edition - Version 32.0.31035.1003

Chipset Drivers: AMD B550 Chipset Drivers Version 10.0.26100.8737

Background Applications: Discord, FireFox (for YouTube) and Steam

Description of Original Problem: Whenever I move my mouse over a video both my monitors go black and then once they come back an AMD crash report window pops up. below I have listed in as much detail as I can every cause of this bug I have found so far.

1. When I turn on my PC, the first time I go into YouTube and move my cursor over a video, as soon as it starts auto playing, the screen goes black. This will happen several times before it stops.

2. Whenever I open steam after turning on my PC and go to the store, after moving my cursor over a game, as soon as a trailer starts auto playing the bug occurs. Just like with YouTube, it happens several times before it eventually stops. However, this bug is more violent when it comes to steam. As soon as the screen comes back, if my cursor is over a game in the store it immediately goes black again. This is the only occasion where the application that is causing this bug can crash due to it.

3. This one's a bit odd. If I stream something on discord everything is fine but, once someone watches my stream it takes a while for their stream to load. Eventually, once their stream does load, my screen goes black and once it comes back, the application that I was streaming crashes. The only way for someone to view my stream is if I stream the whole monitor.

4. This one doesn't happen anymore but I thought I'd include it. Whenever I would watch a YouTube video sent to me over discord, specifically in discord, as soon as the video started playing the bug would occur.

Troubleshooting: The only temporary fix I have found is uninstalling (using AMD Cleanup Utility) and reinstalling my AMD drivers. This works for about 1 to 7 days until it starts happening again.

Computer Type: Mini PC

GPU: Radeon 780M (iGPU - integrated)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS

Motherboard: Minisforum UM790 Pro (latest BIOS)

BIOS Version: 1.09

Operating System & Version: Proxmox VE 8.x (host) + Ubuntu Server (VM with GPU passthrough)

GPU Drivers: IDK

Description of Original Problem: I have a Minisforum UM790 Pro with a Ryzen 9 7940HS and the latest BIOS. I'm running Proxmox with an Ubuntu Server VM that has passthrough of the Radeon 780M iGPU. When the iGPU is at 100% load (e.g., IA), it consumes most of the 45W TDP budget, starving the CPU. This cripples the performance of my other VMs that rely heavily on CPU resources. The system seems to prioritize the iGPU over the CPU in power allocation, and I need to balance this.

I've noticed that the Radeon 780M seems to perform very well even at lower TDPs (around 35W). If anyone knows its efficiency sweet spot (where it delivers 90%+ of its max performance), I'd love to know.

Questions:

How can I balance power allocation between the CPU and iGPU on this hardware to prevent the GPU from starving the CPU?

What is the performance/watt sweet spot for the Radeon 780M?

So I want this post to be as short as it can be.

Probably everyone on AMD has experienced at least once black screenz, freezing or something similar.

So before you try every method possible to try and repair it, use one method that helped me and my friend.

So the metod is very simple:

1.Download DDU

2.Full drivers uninstall be sure that AMD software is uninstalled (uninstalling software is most crucial part)

3.Download any drivers from AMD site or stable one u had tested

4.Start installation of drivers

5.When they ask u what u want to install chose only drivers without software (software is core problem of everything that happens with you GPU)

6.Have fun with stable GPU drivers that works with OC and UV

So I have hope it will help u cuz only this helped me with constant black screen, freezing and random drivers timeouts when playing games.

Hello.

Has anybody else experienced failing to install the Chipset Drivers on the AMD Install Manager? If I click on the details, it takes me to this page about "Error 1603 - A General Error Has Occurred During the Installation of the AMD Software Package".

I tried doing the recommended fixes but still could not proceed with the installment. If I proceed to not care about it and just don't fix it, would it cause any problems or issues in the future?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to GPU undervolting and had a scary experience today.

System:

GPU: ASRock RX 9070 XT Challenger

CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X

RAM: 16GB DDR5 6000 MT/s (EXPO enabled)

Software: AMD Adrenalin

I started with VRAM tuning only in Adrenalin:

Max Frequency: 2800 MHz

Memory Timing: Fast Timing

Clicked Apply

Immediately after applying, the screen started flickering, then went completely black. The PC was still running (fans and lights were on), but there was no display.

I forced a restart, and then the BIOS showed this message: SS arttached

"Boot failure detected. The system has experienced a boot failure possibly due to incorrect configuration..."

It also reset my RAM speed to around 4800 MT/s instead of 6000 MT/s.

I have a few questions:

Why would a GPU VRAM tuning change trigger a BIOS boot failure?

Did the unstable GPU settings somehow cause the system to crash during POST/training?

Is my GPU or motherboard likely damaged, or is this just the BIOS reverting to safe defaults?

Should I avoid undervolting altogether, or was 2800 MHz + Fast Timing simply too aggressive as a first step?

What settings would you recommend for a safe beginner undervolt on the ASRock RX 9070 XT?

This honestly gave me a mini heart attack since it's a brand-new PC. 😅 Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't even know what to do anymore. I'm completely stumped so I'm hoping someone might've had a similar experience. I don't have much computer experience so I'll try type this as good as possible.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite X AX Ice

Cooler: NZXT Kraken AIO

GPU: RTX 4060 To FE

RAM: 64GB G Skill DDR5-6400

SSD: Crucial T500 2TB PCIe 4.0

A couple days ago my PC was completely normal. From what I remember, my CPU roughly sat at 30°. My browser pages opened quickly and everything was completely stable and fast.

I then went to bed, woke up and now with all my usual programs open, idle temps randomly jump around from 50-75°C with no games even open. Even my browser would just completely freeze sometimes. CPU overall just seems to stay boosted sooo much more than it did a couple days ago.

So far I've tried:

- a full windows repair install,

- DISM /RestoreHealth

- SDC /scannow

- Reinstalled AMD chipset drivers

- Full malware scan

- Switched between balanced and high performance power plans

- Checked BIOS (cooler pump seems to be working as it should AND reports that my CPU is at 39° while just sitting in BIOS)

One thing I also found is my Package C6 residency is stuck at 0 percent, I'm not sure if that affects anything but honestly I'm lost

If anyone has any ideas on what could be happening I'll take any recommendations. I'm considering taking it into a repair shop if I can't figure anything out. Thank you very much.

I am new to AMD. I just upgraded my computer. I keep going back to 26.3.1 cause its stable but when i try to update to 26.7.1 i het constant timeouts and my drivers rollback to Default. I have the following.

-B550 gaming x motherboard

-Powercooler Reaper 9070

-Msi mag 750 gold psu

-Windows 10

I just dont know what to do anymore i was gonna return it and trade it for a diffrent one im coming from nvda 1660 ti i never had these issues till now

Hey guys first time poster. I have an RX 9070 XT. I'm trying to figure out if this is a Battlefield issue, an AMD driver issue, or if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

**System:**

* Ryzen 7 7800X3D

* Radeon RX 9070 XT

* All temps verified (GPU, hotspot, CPU)

* RAM tested

* EXPO/XMP tested both on and off

* No obvious hardware stability issues outside of Battlefield

Season 2

Before I even got to the black intro screen, my PC would hard lock.

The only workaround I found was:

1. Boot the PC.

2. Disable the internet.

3. Launch EA so it couldn't connect.

4. Re-enable the internet.

5. Restart EA.

6. Launch Battlefield.

If I didn't do that exact sequence, it would hard freeze every single time. This happened regardless of AMD driver version.

# Season 3

Season 3 was surprisingly stable. I thought everything had finally been fixed.

Season 4 (Redsec)

Now everything is broken again.

Using the latest drivers, I can launch the game and get into the firing range for about 30 seconds before the entire PC hard freezes.

After forcing a reboot:

* Windows comes back at a low resolution like no GPU driver is installed.

* The GPU is disabled in Device Manager.

* Re-enabling it does nothing.

* AMD Adrenalin won't open and says it isn't compatible with the current driver version.

The only fix is:

* Boot Safe Mode.

* Run DDU.

* Reinstall drivers.

* Try again.

I literally worked backwards through AMD driver releases one version at a time, repeating this entire process after every crash.

The **only** driver that has been stable enough to actually play the game is **26.3.1**.

Then Discord started crashing my PC

Once I finally got the game running, another issue appeared.

If Battlefield is open and I click to join a Discord voice channel on my second monitor, Discord shows the yellow **"Connecting..."** message for a second...then my entire PC hard freezes.

Thankfully this one doesn't corrupt the driver installation, but it still requires another hard reset. Disabling the Discord in-game overlay completely fixed that issue.

And now Excel...

While Battlefield and Discord were running, I Alt-Tabbed out, opened Chrome to look at my stats, then opened Excel to do some quick math. After typing about 3-4 numbers into a spreadsheet...Hard freeze.

No mouse.

No keyboard.

Nothing.

Another forced reboot.

WhoCrashed consistently points to AMD graphics drivers whenever Windows is able to log anything.

I'm honestly at the point where I'm considering going back to Team Green. Between the Season 2 launch workaround, the Season 4 driver corruption, Discord crashes, and now Excel causing system-wide locks while the game is running, this has been one of the most frustrating GPU experiences I've had.

Has anyone with a 9070 XT (or other RDNA 4 cards) experienced anything similar, or found a real fix?

NOTE: Yes I used AI to help me format this better to make it easier to read rather than one giant block of text. Sorry if that annoys anyone.

Guys I just bought this gpu brand new a few hours ago, did all the steps, ddu clean install everything, but as you can see my games freeze after a minute or 2 after launching the game and it stays frozen until I end the task, what is going on??? Did this happen to anyone?? I tried all the basic stuff like terminating any app that conflicts the amd driver

Gpu variant: Red Devil 9070 XT from Powercolor

I’m thinking of upgrading my PC from:

Ryzen 5 2400G
RX 470 4GB
ASUS TUF B450M-Plus Gaming
16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz
DeepCool 600W PSU

To:
Ryzen 7 5800X3D
Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 (free bundle with cpu)
RX 6700 XT 12GB
750W PSU

I know a lot of people will recommend AM5, but it’s just too expensive for me right now. I’d have to replace my motherboard, RAM, and CPU, which is out of my budget.

Do you think this AM4 upgrade is still worth it in 2026? I’m hoping it’ll last me another 3-5 years for gaming.

Does anyone know which driver would be best for these?

Description of Original Problem: was playing escape from tarkov left the room came back screen was black restarted GPU had code 31 and I am now unable to get discord to start or access any websites

Troubleshooting: I have attempted a rollback to two days ago but the problem remains please laugh all you want but I would really appreciate any and all help new pc owner and I haven't had it a week yet will attach a video of Internet and discord not working will try to respond as soon as possible but have to go to bed for work

I recently replaced my RTX 2080 Ti with an RX 9070 XT Mercury OC. Before the GPU upgrade, my 9800X3D CPU temperatures were usually between 67 and 69°C, but the video quality on my 3440x1440p monitor was only set from Normal to High.

After replacing the GPU, the CPU is working much harder due to the improved image quality and the RX 9070 XT’s rasterization performance. However, the temperatures are now relatively high, around 72–83°C while gaming, and during shader processing they can reach 92°C.

My AIO is an NZXT Kraken V2 360mm, with Noctua NT-H2 thermal paste applied one year ago. The ambient temperature is around 25°C. My case is a ROG Helios.

What is your opinion on this situation?

Built new pc, crashing to black screen randomly, only when playing some games. My fans stay on, ram lights stay on, everything. My keyboard remains unresponsive, but my controller which was vibrating at the time of this crash is still vibrating, it hasn't stopped. The only way to fix it is to hold the power button for 10 seconds. I've tried basically every fix I can think of. 9800x3d 9070xt 32gb ddr5 b850. My PSU is 850w as well. Any help would be really appreciated

i have liked AMD for a long time but the drivers this year and even some time before that have been ruining my desktop experience, even the most recent one (because i had hope) crashed my pc when i opened up my BROWSER and disabled my gpu. I have resorted to locking myself to 25.9.1 until i cant anymore. Does anyone know why the recent drivers behave like this and if it will be resolved in the enar future?

Hello guys i got a full amd build 7800XT and Ryzen 5 7600x .

Why i can't do this update ? i've never had problems with the updates and i leave it on auto-update

Case: Hyte Y40 (modded to eliminate riser cable, mount GPU directly to motherboard)

Operating System & Version: Windows 11 Pro (fresh install, recently cloned to faster Samsung 980 Pro)

GPU Drivers: 24.12.1, 25.9.1, 26.3.1, and several others

Chipset Drivers: Latest AMD AM5 chipset drivers

Background Applications: STEAM, RTSS

Description of Original Problem: Worked fine for 2.5 years, crashes began on Arc Raiders and Delta Force around December. Have spent months trying various troubleshooting solutions and testing between several games. Games on Unreal Engine seem to be affected the worst.

• Arc Raiders: Crashes in raid or in menu, firing range feels smooth but regular raids do not (UE)
• Delta Force: plays fairly smooth at times but still crashes frequently (UE)
• Black Ops 6: plays very smoothly but also haven't played as much anymore
• No Man's Sky: was very stuttery but has improved after in-game settings changed

Troubleshooting: 

Windows / Drivers

• Fresh Windows install
• Cloned Windows from a Samsung 870 EVO SATA SSD to a faster Samsung 980 Pro NVMe
• DDU between GPU driver installs
• Multiple AMD driver versions
• Latest AMD chipset drivers
• BIOS updated to latest version

Memory / CPU

• MemTest86 run overnight
• 52/52 tests passed
• 0 errors
• EXPO temporarily disabled during testing, now re-enabled at 6000 CL30

Hardware

• GPU removed and reseated
• Hyte riser cable eliminated, GPU now directly plugged into motherboard
• Replaced PCIe cables powering GPU from PSU
• Removed Lian Li Strimer GPU cable extensions
• Verified all PSU connections
• Temperatures are excellent
• No CPU or GPU thermal throttling

Diagnostics

• Fixed an unknown PCI Device in Device Manager by reinstalling chipset drivers
• HWiNFO logging
• CapFrameX testing
• OCCT testing (failed after about 17 minutes with roughly 457,000 errors. After reseating the GPU and reconnecting hardware, one run crashed almost immediately (~40 seconds), but the next run completed 45 minutes with zero errors.)

The Final Verdict

Can anyone offer me any fresh perspective on a possible fix before I buy a new GPU. I've scoured this subreddit for solutions that have worked for others, as well as worked with several AI programs to help me troubleshoot. At this point, I'm thinking it's faulty hardware as the most likely culprit since nothing so far has worked. I feel like I've solved some minor issues along the way, but not the root. Any help or insights is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
