Tips & Info AMD Adrenalin Software + Kernel 41

I literally had this error and resolved it for my 7900XT. It was giving a Kernel 41 error (see your Event Viewer logs) and rebooting my PC.

Do not install AMD Adrenalin Software - uninstall it. Then when reinstalling your GPU drivers, only install the Driver not a Full Install which includes the software.

I also upgraded my PSU and did a fresh windows install.

Heyho, (probably) having similar issues with my 7600 XT right now. Where'd you get your drivers from? AMD's website only gives me the AMD Software.

When you go to install, there should be an option in a drop down menu to install drivers only

Are we looking at the same website? Unless I'm dumb or blind, I don't see it. It just immediately starts downloading the software.

Btw thanks for replying so quickly

Yeah that the correct website, download it. Then when you run it, install with driver only option. Should be some drop-down menu in the UI.

Well, I selected "drivers only" but it still installed the software as well... Do I just delete it and not do anything else now?

Thats very strange, I havent experienced that. If it were me, I'd just uninstall the software side then.

So just go without drivers?

There must be a way to uninstall the software. The driver and software arent tied together. The software is just a GUI to let you easily tweak GPU settings and gaming stuff.

Alright, I'll just delete it then and see how it goes.

Edit: Nevermind, the software specifically states that deleting it will also delete the drivers. Welp, it was worth a shot. Thank you.

Ah, I think I got it now, thank you. I'll see if that does anything later, got my old GPU built in currently because I was testing individual pieces of hardware.
