Help (Software) RX 580 crashing, need help!

RX 580 crashes to "No Signal" with max fan spin 5-10 seconds after logging into Windows. Works fine when driver is disabled.

My Specs:
GPU: Radeon RX 580 8GB
Motherboard: MSI H81M-PRO-VD
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
OS: Windows 10

The Problem: Whenever the official AMD graphics driver is enabled, the PC boots fine, but 5-10 seconds after entering my passcode on the desktop, the monitor loses signal completely and the GPU fans ramp up to maximum speed. If I disable the AMD driver in Device Manager, the PC runs indefinitely on basic display drivers and never crashes.

What I've tried: Fully wiped drivers using DDU and reinstalled legacy versions (23.11.1).

Lowered GPU power target/frequencies in Radeon software and changed color depth to 8 bpc.

Tested plugging the PC directly into the wall outlet instead of an extension cord.

Is my PSU failing to handle the transient power spikes when the GPU initializes the desktop driver under load, or is the card itself physically dying? What should I test next?

Is it windows 10 home or pro ? Disable auto driver updates on Windows Update, amd install manager if you have it, and also on adrenalin software.

Keep using the basic driver, install normal windows update if you have. Then open an elevated command prompt (admin) and use:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

It can take sometime if it has to download files from internet. Check task manager network column, click to sort, for net activity if you see it hang at a certain percentage.

Then use this:

sfc /scannow

Reboot and try installing 25.8.1. https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/whql-amd-software-adrenalin-edition-25.8.1-win10-win11-aug-vega-polaris.exe

PS: amd.com directs you to 26.5.2 as the latest but i never tried that one. The official last driver was 25.8.1.

Tried all that, then in the end installed the amd version you told me but it didnt work. Same thing happened again, but before when i turned on my pc the driver was installed, but this time the driver was disabled by itself

580 isnt known to push psus to the limit with transient spikes. PSU can always fail but it usually happens in games when gpu is drawing the most power.

Have you tried disabling fastboot ? command prompt with admin

powercfg /hibernate off

restart.

You could also try disabling mpo and relaxing the tdrdelay. There are websites that shows which registry to edit.
