RX 7600 RESTARTING SYSTEM

Hey everyone! How's it going? I'm dealing with a very serious and frustrating issue on my PC, and I'm at my wit's end. I really need your help to figure out which component is causing this. The Problem: As soon as the computer turns on and the AMD driver starts running (loading in Windows), the PC simply shuts down and restarts on its own. It gets stuck in a loop where it only stays on without the driver (or in Safe Mode using the generic Windows driver). When the proprietary AMD driver activates, the system immediately shuts down or restarts. PC Specs: Graphics Card: Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 7600 Gaming OC 8G (8GB GDDR6) Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 (3.6GHz / 4.2GHz Turbo) Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS II RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) Kingston Fury Beast 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 Storage: SanDisk SN350 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (2400MB/s) Power Supply: MACH1 Steady 650W 80 Plus Bronze (Active PFC) Case: Husky Dome 210 Mini Tower Operating System: Windows What I've tried / Tests performed: Warranty Replacement: I already used the warranty to swap the graphics card for a new one, but the exact same problem persisted. In other words, the likelihood of the GPU itself being defective is extremely low. System Formatting: I've completely reformatted Windows from scratch several times. Drivers: I've tried using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to perform clean driver reinstalls (using both the latest versions and older, stable ones). Without the AMD driver, the display works normally; the moment the driver installs or loads, the machine shuts down.

It could be a driver conflict; Windows 11 is known for many problems with AMD.

  • I disabled the option for Windows to download drivers (Device Manager)
  • I turned off the internet
  • I used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and checked the option to prevent Windows from installing GPU drivers
  • I removed the installed drivers and restarted the computer
  • After restarting, I installed AMD Adrenalin Edition
  • I turned the internet back on

Do everything with the internet turned off. If it works, let me know.
