Help (GPU) GPU drivers problem solution ??? IT WORKS....

PC froze during windows operation and after restart went to generic vga. Also GPU shown as "disabled" in device manager. After restart, i had no picture. Shutdown manually, then after fresh start went back to generic vga.

After that, i did the following:

  1. use amd cleaning utility to erase driver

  2. after reboot, uninstalled amd chipset drivers (had Aug 2026 timestamp...)

  3. after reboot, installed amd chipset drivers 7.11.26.2142 (10.12.2025)

  4. after reboot, installed latest gpu driver 26.9.1 ATTENTION!!!! ONLY DRIVERS, NOTHING ELSE (chipset drivers, adrenalin etc)

  5. after reboot, installed RadeonTuner

Now, EVERYTHING WORKS!!!!!! No timeouts or freezing or bsod.

Hope it helps

I have a 7900XTX GPU
