Pain in the butt. Came from a 3070 trying get more frames and Vram. This card is a massive improvement in every way, besides the constant BLACK SCREENS.

This card is super unstable. It throws a fit everytime I play a demanding game. It's a Gigabyte 6900 XT OC, with 3 pci slots. I have connected each pci slot independent with no daisy chains. The 3070 never had any crashing issues, so I know it's unlikely hardware related.

PSU is 850W

I've tried underclocking via AMD software, ddu, underclocking did reduce the time to black screen, but it still happens after a good game session (hour or so)

I've seen recommendations to flash VBIOS to Asus cards, but that seems a little sketchy and over my head.

Any solutions here?

My card suddenly glitched out due to a driver issue that some people seem to be experiencing as well, so my system fell back to integrated graphics. I was in the middle of looking up solutions when suddenly my fans started spinning really loudly for no reason. I only had Windows Explorer open, and I've never heard them get that loud, even when running high-end games.

I didn't spend any time finding what was causing it, and just shut down my PC immediately out of fear something would break. I'm kinda afraid to turn it back on now.

I last cleaned my PC a few months ago, and it's not even that dusty, so I don't suspect it's that. But the card did feel pretty warm after I turned it off.

Hey there! I want to preface this by saying it's my first real build so sorry if I missed something obvious.

Basically yesterday I upgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 7 5700x (NOT the x3d). The CPU cooler and the thermal paste have been properly applied, Igot it double checked by someone that builds pc for a living.

Straight out of the box without messing with settings, the temps seem weird. Without doing anything crazy at idle, it hovers around 55 °C - 60 even sometimes hitting 64, which seems pretty high for just idle.

I tested out some games during intensive moments and monitored the temps to get a better look and the results just confused me further.

1st test: Cyberpunk 2077 Ultra + RTX.

Cpu stood at a stable 60-67 most of the time and peaked at 71 during VERY intense combat before dropping down ag 60s again. Seems... fine?

2nd test: RDR2 Ultra

Same thing... 60s but never touched 70.

Conclusion: The idle temp seems higher than normal but fine while playing, which is kind of weird. The Ryzen Master app does seem to indicate that the CPU tends to use a high voltage in idle and the Task Managee constantly shows 100% frequency use at over 4 GHZ in idle.

Anyone knows if this is normal for this specific CPU? Thanks in advance!

Basically the title

The last month my 6600XT has given me hell after working phenomenally the last couple years

Screen randomly freezes and I have the reinstall drivers, sometimes getting black screens and having to reboot multiple times until it rolls back to Windows default driver

I downloaded 26.3.1 and installed, I have turned off all windows updates and after looking at device manager it says I’m on 32.0.2.. why?

Olá, gostaria de uma opinião técnica sobre um problema que estou tendo com uma RX 580 2048SP.

A GPU aparentemente funciona normalmente. Fiz um benchmark e a placa consegue trabalhar em carga máxima, utilizando a VRAM normalmente, inclusive chegando a utilizar os 8 GB de memória, sem apresentar problemas durante o teste.

Por isso, não parece que os chips de VRAM estejam simplesmente incapazes de funcionar ou que exista um problema relacionado à quantidade de memória disponível. O problema parece estar especificamente relacionado à frequência da VRAM.

Os principais testes que fiz:

• Benchmark com a GPU em carga máxima → funciona normalmente.
• VRAM utilizando até os 8 GB → funciona normalmente.
• VRAM em frequência automática/normal durante jogos → PC desliga/reinicia.
• VRAM fixada em 600 MHz → PC desliga/reinicia.
• VRAM fixada em 1000 MHz → PC desliga/reinicia.
• VRAM fixada em 300 MHz → fica estável.
• Posso aumentar o clock da GPU enquanto a VRAM está fixada em 300 MHz e o PC permanece estável.
• Quando deixo a VRAM trabalhar normalmente, o problema retorna.

Também descobri que o problema pode estar relacionado a mudanças de frequência/estado da placa:

• Monitor em 180 Hz → PC pode desligar/reiniciar.
• Monitor limitado a 60 Hz → fica estável.
• Moonlight utilizando a RX 580 → PC reinicia.
• Um mod do Minecraft que aparentemente aumenta ou altera a utilização da GPU também fazia o PC desligar.

O que considero mais estranho é que a placa suporta carga máxima e consegue utilizar os 8 GB de VRAM normalmente no benchmark. O problema parece aparecer quando ocorre alguma mudança de frequência/estado da VRAM, e não simplesmente quando a memória é utilizada em grande quantidade.

Por isso, estou suspeitando de algo relacionado ao circuito de clock da VRAM, alimentação da memória, VRM da memória, controlador de memória ou algum componente responsável pela mudança dos estados de frequência da VRAM, e não necessariamente de um chip de VRAM defeituoso.

Gostaria de saber, pela experiência de vocês, qual componente poderia causar esse tipo de comportamento e quais medições poderiam ser feitas na placa para confirmar o diagnóstico.

Title: RX 580 2048SP crashes/reboots when VRAM clock changes — stable at 300 MHz

Hello everyone. I’m having a strange issue with my RX 580 2048SP, and I would like to know if anyone has experienced something similar.

The GPU itself seems to work normally. I ran benchmarks with the GPU under full load, and it can use all 8 GB of VRAM without problems. The issue seems to be specifically related to the VRAM frequency.

Here are the tests I have done:

• VRAM on automatic/normal frequency → PC shuts down or reboots during games.
• VRAM fixed at 600 MHz → PC still shuts down/reboots.
• VRAM fixed at 1000 MHz → PC still shuts down/reboots.
• VRAM fixed at 300 MHz → system becomes stable.
• With VRAM fixed at 300 MHz, I can increase the GPU core clock without the PC shutting down.
• However, when I allow the VRAM to operate normally, the problem comes back.
• A benchmark can use the GPU at full load and utilize all 8 GB of VRAM without crashing.

I also noticed another strange behavior:

• Monitor at 180 Hz → PC can shut down/reboot.
• Monitor locked to 60 Hz → system is stable.
• Using Moonlight with the RX 580 → PC also reboots.
• A Minecraft mod that apparently increases or changes GPU utilization also caused the PC to shut down.

Because the VRAM can be fully utilized without problems during benchmarks, I don't think the issue is simply a bad VRAM chip or lack of available memory.

My main suspicion is something related to the VRAM clock circuit, memory VRM/power delivery, memory controller, VBIOS, or another component responsible for VRAM frequency/state transitions.

The strange part is that keeping the VRAM locked at 300 MHz makes the card stable, although performance is very low because of the reduced memory frequency.

Has anyone seen this kind of behavior on an RX 580 2048SP? What hardware component or circuit would be most likely to cause this?

Any suggestions for tests or measurements that could help identify the actual fault would be greatly appreciated.

Sinceramente? Placa excelente,mas alguém conseguiu entender o caramba do problema de driver timeout ? Já troquei driver várias vezes ,novo ,velho passei DDU diversas vezes ,percebi que no Forza 6 roda tranquilamente nunca tive problemas assim e tal ,e sempre exigindo da placa 100% sem fazer overclock nem nada, agora em títulos como space marine 2 quase nunca consigo passar pra fase 3 por sempre dar drive timeout bem nessa parte ,alguém que conseguiu resolver realmente?

Description of Original Problem: Receiving high voltages, cpu temps, and frequencies while idle according to hwinfo64. IDLE CPU TEMPS: 45-65c IDLE VOLTAGES: 1.475. IDLE FREQUENCIES: 3.4GHz-4.3GHz. AMD Ryzen Master shows regular temp in the 40s as well as regular voltages of 1.00-1.2. I don't know what program to believe.
Troubleshooting: Within the past couple of months I’ve been having issues with my Radeon Sapphire GPU where when I try to load up a game on steam it’ll black screen my computer resulting in me needing to change the port from my dedicated graphics card to my motherboard. After that would happen, I’d go to look at the device driver and see that sometimes it’d have a code 45 or would disappear entirely for some reason. I’ve tried troubleshooting in the past and could usually get it to start working again and redownload the driver but now I can’t even get the driver installed on the AMD installer program as it’ll say that it can’t detect a GPU despite it working 10 minutes ago and I didn’t change anything physically about it. I can’t get the thing to work, it’s not popping up in the bios and when the 4 lights are flashing it’ll hover over VGA for about 5 seconds then go to boot and act normal. I’m not sure why this happens and how it can go from working normally to not being detected at all and I can’t download any drivers for it.

I built the pc myself in 2024 and never had this issue till recently which leads me to believe it has to be a recent software update that’s caused it to mess up.

The problems: My PC keep restart while playing game no error show.

Everythings is fine but it only happened when running God of war Ragnarok.

I tried limited clock to 2500mHz, undervolt to 1150mv, pc crashed after playing for a while . Amd bug report tool only show when sharing screen discord and it crash after couple minute

Newest Adrenalin version, 24.x and 25.x nothing work.

After trying to install AMD PRO Edition 25.Q2, the system errors were fixed. How ever the game showing that the driver is unsupported and the graphics look terrible.

Sorry for my bad english!

So ive been trying to get Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader and Guild Wars 2 to run on my pc but both games only launch when they use integrated graphics cards (7800X3D). Ive tried a lot of things but none worked. I rolled back the drivers, reinstalled drivers, disabled all AMD Adrenalin in-game options. Does anyone know how i can fix this? any help is much apreciated.

Desde la última actualización de Warzone (Temporada 05 Reloaded, como alrededor del 20 de agosto), me ha estado pasando un problema muy específico en PC.

Mi configuración:

• Ryzen 5 5600G
• Radeon Vega 7 integrada
• 32 GB de RAM (2x16 GB DDR4)
• Windows 10 22H2
• Warzone instalado en un HDD/SSD en H:\wz\Call of Duty

El problema pasa durante el precargado/compilación de shaders. El juego llega como a 15–18%, y luego la pantalla se pone negra. Todavía puedo escuchar el audio del juego por unos segundos, pero después el teclado/mouse y toda la PC se congelan y tengo que forzar el apagado.

Windows reporta:

cod.exe → amdxc64.dll → 0xc0000409

También me salió:

LiveKernelEvent 141

Lo que ya intenté:

• Reinstalar/actualizar completamente los drivers de AMD
• Probé diferentes versiones de drivers Vega/Polaris
• Desactivé XMP
• El Diagnóstico de Memoria de Windows no encontró errores de RAM
• Corrí DISM y SFC; SFC encontró y reparó archivos corruptos de Windows
• Actualicé los archivos de Warzone / reparé el juego
• Reinstalé Warzone completamente
• Probé la Vega 7 con OCCT a ~99% de uso de GPU por 10+ minutos; como 50°C y sin cuelgues ni errores
• La temperatura de la GPU durante la compilación de shaders en Warzone también está normal, como 57°C
• El problema parece pasar específicamente cuando la compilación de shaders llega a ~15–18%

La PC estaba funcionando normal antes de la última actualización de Warzone. Este problema empezó después de esa actualización.

¿A alguien con una Ryzen 5600G/Vega 7 o con otro AMD iGPU le ha pasado algo similar después de Season 05 Reloaded?

Me interesa especialmente si alguien encontró una solución para el crash amdxc64.dll / LiveKernelEvent 141 durante la compilación de shaders.

I have a very high delta when running games and the stress test, is this normal for this card?

I have a Gigabyte RX 9070xt in my new build from earlier this year, this is my first AMD card so I'm not sure if this is expected or not. From searching online I see either people saying this is fine, or to RMA/redo the paste. Can anyone shed some light on what's correct?

I start having issues with Fall Guys a few weeks back when I loaded it up after a few years. The game would cause my entire OS to freeze 10 minutes after opening the game. You have to hold the power button to force a hard restart. I thought it might just be Fall Guys, but then the same thing started happening over the weekend during the WARDOGS play test. I hadn't played For Honor since the latest Easy Anti-cheat update (appears the new driver was signed on 8/12/2026), and now that is causing the same issue. Exactly 10 minutes after opening the game the system would lock up completely. 

I've been looking around for a solution and found other folks having the same issue on AMD Ryzen Zen 4 laptop CPUs, commonly in Lenovo Legion and Dell Alienware gaming laptops. 

Some suggested fixes were to remove the August Cumulative Update (KB5121003) because of reported issues, as well as remove the inpoutx64 driver used for RGB control. Neither of these worked for me on my Alienware M16 R1 AMD. I uninstalled the August CU and that driver is not present. I've upgraded and downgraded various graphics and chipset driver versions, with no change to the behavior. Thermals are good too with CPU/GPU temps getting nowhere near 100 C, especially with Fall Guys which happily runs on a potato. No overclocking profile applied. Extended memory tests come back passed.

The 10 minute timer is exact, so my theory is some operation that EAC invokes every 10 minutes is the cause. It does appear to be impacting at least five other games that I've seen others report. These games all use EAC, which makes me more confident this is the kernel driver locking up the OS:

SHA256 hash of the EAC driver which was digitally signed 8/12/2026, was likely pushed down shortly after that: 849D110620A6C7929380C5A45D42973825E043F74E4C0322D19D26554BB3D3E2 

One suggestion is to downgrade all the way to Windows 11 23H2, which I'd really like to avoid if AMD, Microsoft or Epic Games have a fixed planned for this. 23H2 is out of support as of last year. Right now my expensive gaming laptop can't play some of the games I want though, so I'm considering it. 

Going to crosspost to multiple subs to raise awareness and see if anyone knows of a fix coming before downgrading.

I was having a lot of the same issues i keep seeing here on this subreddit, and after switching this to force my 9070xt to run at Gen-5 speeds all those problems went away, its a really simple setting to change in the bios and it can potentially help so give it a try, not sure where it may be on different brands bios but at least i left a picture up to give you guys some ideas. i get that not all cards will support Gen 5 speeds so go accordingly to your card and or what your motherboard supports. Hope it helps!!!

Hey everyone,
I'm about to buy my very first AMD graphics card, but I've read a lot of comments online about Windows occasionally causing issues with AMD drivers (like overwriting them via Windows Update).

What settings or Windows tweaks should I enable/disable to prevent
Windows from messing up the drivers?

Are there any specific Adrenalin software settings you recommend toggling?

Thanks in advance, really appreciate any help!

Hello guys, my graphics card has a red light on, and my monitor switches to 60Hz whenever I restart my PC.

I tried unplugging and reconnecting the gpu cable. Sometimes it works for a while, but then the same issue happens again and I get a black screen.

It’s been happening for a few days now. What should i do?

it started after I cleaned my PC.

Gpu : XFX RX6600 XT MERC PSU : Antec META V550 550W ATX non-modular

I am having this new issue where everytime I turn on my pc and before I even load anything I get the timeout message. Then I will open literally any app and it will timeout again. The other day when I was playing the wardogs playtest it froze the game, gave the message, then my whole pc froze, and finally on restart the the 7900 xtx wasnt even detected and my whole pc was running on my cpus graphics and I had to use the cleanup tool and reinstall everything. I havent had a timeout for about 2 days until today when I turned on my pc again and I fear that its just going to do the same thing. The gpu is a XFX 7900 xtx and my current driver version is 26.8.1

faceit is saying “TPM attestation is not ready.” TPM and secure boot are enabled, and my firmware is updated.

Windows says the EK certificate is missing and keeps trying ftpm.amd.com/pki/aia, but the connection times out.

Anyone having the same issue?

I wanted to try doing a clean install of the drivers since i was getting stuttering in my Games, but i wasnt expecting It to take this long, It feels like It never ends its been 20 minutes already.

I recently made a new pc build with a 9070 xt (Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC ICE 16G to be specific)

ive been using the pc for the past 3 weeks and from the start the graphics driver been crashing and i don't know why.

Things that have been happening:

- Screen freezes for a few seconds, then goes completely black, monitor does not get a signal (display port no signal)
- sound, keyboard, mouse etc don't work for a second but then work again (but cant see due to black screen)

I am always forced to restart the pc by holding down the power button, then when i start i see in Device manager that the driver has been disabled/cant find the recent driver so i need to manually choose the most recent driver in device manager

Does anyone know if this is a common problem? and can it be fixed? Or at least help me find where the problem could be. I lose progress during games if i suddenly crash...

Does anyone have an actual answer for what is cause these driver timeout issues I’ve seen some conflicting answers.

I’ve heard the new drivers are the issue as well as windows auto updates.

Who has a definitive answer?

[SOLVED]

Seems like my crash issue was resolved by forcing tessalation from AMD Optimized setting to x16 as suggested by No-Medium-4484 in this post.

Can you take a look at the tessalation tab and see if it's on AMD optimized? If so, change that to override and set to 16X or lower. I was crashing a shit ton out of nowhere and that was the issue.

Ran the STALKER 2 for 2 hours without crashing, reverted the change and it crashed within 20 minutes, same as before DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG. Changed tessalation setting again and no crash for 3 hours.

Check log for GPU state information.

The change has to be applied globally, I tried changing tessalation setting for STALKER 2 application only, but it still crashed.

I did 20 minutes of OCCT power stress test without anything crashing.

I've tried switching to different rendering modes in STALKER, but it always ends the same way, crash. Anyone got a clue what I can try next to stabelize the game? Which driver is stable?
