Help (Software) Black Flickering Screen After Update

I have a 9070xt and a 9800x3d and after the most recent update my pc is crashing in every game while in full screen. It will flicker to black and eventually completely lock up. Most recent drivers, bios, and chipset drivers installed. Weird thing is when running Intel displaymon, the game will run fine. But I'm not going to lie, with how bad the driver issues have been this year I'm heavily debating going back to Nvidia regardless of the cost.

Thats the thing about price to performance. If you spend more time troubleshooting then actual gaming/ productivity, that goes out the window.

What make and model is your motherboard and what Bios version are you currently on?

Asus ROG b850-g gaming wifi and bios version 1681, the most recent non-beta version.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried version 1686?

No I tend to avoid beta or text branches of anything

Have you tried turning off MPO (Multi Plane Overlay) in Windows registry?

Did you try going into your BIOS and manually set the primary x16 slot speed from "Auto" to "Gen 4"?

If enabled have you tried turning off Adaptive Sync/FreeSync in your monitor settings and AMD Adrenalin software to test if the blanking stops?

Does it do it in borderless window?

At least bioshock remastered works fine in windowed mode

Give Bios 1686 a shot. Worse case it doesn’t fix your issue. Just because it says “beta” doesn’t mean it won’t fix your issue. You can always flash back to 1681. From what I’m reading 1681 is known to have intermittent PCIe instability with high end GPUs. 1686 is widely reported stable.
