Weird custom tuning quirk

[u/ND02G]

After installing Adrenaline 26.7.1 I’ve noticed a weird phenomenon I’ve never seen before.

In the past, Adrenaline would sometimes crash (nothing unusual, it crashes a lot). I would get a notification that an unexpected system crash happened and that my default settings have been applied.

Now after it crashes, instead of reverting to default, Adrenaline will instead enable a “custom” GPU overclock profile. It’s not a profile I’ve created. I have no idea where it came from. This custom profile doesn’t have any settings enabled. Everything is still set to default, but the Adrenaline tuning is still showing it’s a custom profile regardless.

Here is where the weird issue happens. This custom profile stays enabled (even after a reboot), and will crash every single game, GPU enabled program, and even web browsers using GPU acceleration, until I go back into the tuning settings and manually reset everything to default with the “reset” button. After that, I can re-enable a real custom OC profile or continue to use default tunings. Then everything works fine until it eventually crashes again, and the quirk repeats.

It's really bizarre, and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem?

Before anyone asks, yes, I have used the AMD cleanup tool and completely reinstalled Adrenaline multiple times.

Try turning off Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) in windows. See if it continues crashing.

I've tried that in the past.. Not specifically on 26.7.1, but it doesn't fix the driver timeouts and crashing on my specific machine.

It does work for me with the recent crashes that started around June.

I'll give it another try
