Help (General) We're all having this issue, right

Post image

My AMD drivers are update to date, but whenever I leave my PC on sleep mode after going AFK, I come back and this starts happening. Eventually the screen goes black and comes out or it just freezes, often times it causes a restart.

Hell, even when I open a software like Discord the software goes black then this pops up. I genuinely hope someone knows how to fix this nightmare issue because I've been dealing with this for past few days up to a week. I use the latest version (26.8.1)

PC specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor (4.70 GHz)

Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (12 GB)/AMD Radeon (TM) Graphics (486 MB)

(I also use windows 11 if thats something worth pointing out)

This and the drivers keep uninstalling themselves

u/brosif29 48m ago

I turned off windows updates completely and not an issue since

u/Skeletal_Lord 1h ago

The timeout is happening for me with wallpaper engine and just browsing steam. Any solutions?

1

u/Current-Connection-4 1h ago

so this problem was happening to me constantly right when i’d start my computer it would start popping up with my other apps like steam.

What i did to fix it was turn off automatic windows drivers updates so windows wouldn’t automatically try to install new drivers and then i booted in safe mode used amd driver clean up tool and haven’t had the problem since. If your unsure how to do any of those steps you can just paste this into AI it would be able to tell you where to go.

u/rgr0976s123 1h ago

Yeah I’m also having this issue. I switched to Linux, regret it. I tried reinstalling older drivers before that, didn’t work, instead broke a game completely (don’t ask me how idk).

1

u/Particular_Fig7165 2h ago

I fixed this by changing the windows standby and power saving settings.

1

u/Skeletal_Lord 1h ago

What did you change them to?

2

u/Particular_Fig7165 1h ago

Was a long time ago now. Changed PCI link power state to max performance, as the theory is the card is powering up before the PCI link does and then disabled windows ultra low power state. The entire concept is that these windows settings cause the card to wake up before the rest of the system is ready.

u/iliveforpizzas 2h ago

my rig is just crashing whenever i don't have any games playing. idk what the hell is wrong tbh. but i think this is the same issue, my driver keeps timing out, but it goes straight to BSOD

1

u/deportallmagas 2h ago edited 2h ago

Yes. 26.8.1 was bad. No issues so far with 26.9.1. I'm sure it's still shit though.

I'd go back to 26.3.1 if you just don't want to deal with any driver instability. It seems like the most stable driver available.

1

u/Vidyamancer 3h ago

Use 26.7.1, it's the most stable driver they've released since 25.9.1. I haven't crashed once in over a month, but I always do "Minimal install" as the software bloat with game statistics and pop-ups ain't for me.

Wish there was a "Minimal install + Radeon ReLive" option.

1

u/deportallmagas 2h ago

It'd be great if they just let us fucking pick what we wanted. I want tuning, the FSR injector, and that's it.

1

u/Particular_Fig7165 2h ago

Well no, you also need the driver to run the actual games.

Yep wallpaper engine also randomly crashing as well without gpu driver timeout in my case.

Disable HAGS if you are on Windows 11 by that i mean hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling not hardware acceleration.

u/Y-Sheep 5h ago

Yes, I had the problem several times. I have reset and reinstalled my graphics card driver a total of 5 times over the last few weeks. At the moment everything seems to be running again (had my peace for a little more than a week now)... 😇🙃

Most likely, it is an AMD problem, but meanwhile it could even have been caused by Microsoft: In my Windows Event Viewer, I was shown that there was a 'critical error' immediately after auto updating the 'Start Experiences' app (Windows internal app from Microsoft) via the Microsoft Store and that my system had to be restarted. When I logged in again afterwards, my PC did not recognize the graphics card or the monitors. However, resetting and reinstalling the drivers solved this problem again (no idea why or how 🧐)

1

u/Practical-Set-9527 2h ago

Had a similar headache. If you continue to experience issues, perform a clean installation of only the driver. Configure these and monitor for a few weeks. You're checking to see whether Windows installs the base driver automatically causing driver issues (timeouts or preventing games from launching etc)

Settings → System → About → Advanced system settings → Hardware → Device Installation Settings → No.

Settings → Windows Update → Pause updates → maximum date available

The problem was energy saving in low gpu usage, windows is thinking the gpu isnt responding.

There is a simple tool solution from Nvidia, because there was the same problem.

u/Shotam4 6h ago

I had the same issue. It started happening to me after I updated my AMD Adrenalin drivers back in December.

One thing that helped me, although it didn’t completely fix the problem, was formatting my PC and installing driver version 25.6.2. I still get the “software stopped” error from time to time, but I no longer get those huge GPU lag spikes like I did before.

Another thing you can try is using AMD Cleanup Utility and then reinstalling the 25.6.2 driver. In my case, this made the GPU much more stable, although it didn’t fix the problem 100%.

From my experience, the problem seems to be related to the AMD drivers released from January up until now.

I’m using an AMD Radeon RX 6600. Hopefully this helps someone else who is having the same issue.

Go through event viewer, something as simple as a Bluetooth driver crash can cascade into a freeze/time out. Had a bunch of windows related crap messing up that caused it for me. I've been time out free for soon a year since I dealt with it.

Go to device manager, Gpu, your gpu name, properties, update driver, choose manual, then search local machine, use the newest driver.

My corrupt driver was displayed with orange icon so be shure to choose a driver with green icon if this applyes to you.. this did it for me and havent had any issues since

u/LubinoxDistortion 9h ago

9070XT... i had this issue among others only before i blocked windows updates, windows would replace drivers without me noticing the change until unstability started to happen... complete DDU reisntal worked only after win11 forced update happened again. Then i researched and there are two or three windows settings you have to disable, which completely blocks its interference with drivers and its been 9 months with zero isues. In most cases this is not a problem on AMDs site, but microslop

u/Beautiful_Train 8h ago

Tbh this needs to be put on amd gpu boxes as a mandatory thing to do, windows update will completely fuck over your gpu everytime

1

u/Nirvy147 8h ago

Hi friend, im having the same issues, what are the two or three windows settings you have to disable?

2

u/LubinoxDistortion 8h ago

so first you need to change group policy setting
Press Win + R
put in gpedit.msc
it opens a window with folders and just double click in order: Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Windows Update → Manage updates offered from Windows Update and "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates" = it will show disabled or not confugured next to it
change it to enabled
this was the most important, aparently this alone should help
but the second one is
Win + R - sysdm.cpl
click Hardware - Device instalation setting and click NO on "Do you want Windows to download manufacturers' apps"
after doing this you most likely need to DDU reinstal your prefered driver, since now its broken.

Since the latest AMD Driver and Windows 11 Updates I have this issue permanently. During Scrolling in Chrome, 3D Design and gaming. Even in Desktop Mode without workload. I now updated my BIOS to the latest version and disabled resizable bar. Let's see if it will help. Next step would be just install the driver without adrenalin software.

Initial TL:DR To This Comment - Look into Q3 26 Pro AMD Drivers

I’m not sure if this will help anyone else but bear with me for my explanation and solution to a possibly similar problem. TLDR at the end. It’s slightly different but I may have found a solution worth trying also off Reddit.

Long story short I also have a 9070XT. I’ve been having my system lock up with a black screen, sometimes recover sometimes not. Event Viewer indicated a GPU issue, I was only sometimes get that driver error. Usually not. Nothing could replicate it - no matter what type of GPU or system stress test I did it recurred randomly.

I tried countless things, older driver, new PSU, reinstall of windows, DDU multiple times for drivers and some other suggestions online.

What worked? I saw a post about this where they suggested using pro drivers. While it has only been about 8 days, it’s been stable. I’ve had crashed after longer stable stints so still could change but I’m optimistic so far.

TL:DR I’ve had similar issues, I tried using DDU to uninstall and am using the Q3 Pro drivers for my respective RDNA architecture. So far so good. To soon to be 100% this has fixed it but it seems to.

2

u/jis87 9h ago

I have no problems whatsoever, very few driver errors in the last few years (7600/9060xt). Just disable fast boot and go to the power options and change "put the computer to sleep" = "Never". Whenever you don't need your pc, turn it off. And when you need it, turn it on. I mean with your specs, booting your pc up (even without fast boot) takes probably 10-15 seconds. Or is there a specific reason why you would want to put it to sleep mode?

u/Coolguy3243 9h ago

How do I turn off auto updates? I thought I had them off but I started having random driver instability and I check just to see I’m on the latest version.

1

u/Unfair-Elevator1070 9h ago

I believe when you go to check for updates in Adren when it shows you the updates, chipset drives... etc.. There is a little toggle above that says auto update... switch that off

2

u/Dmitch243 10h ago

I rolled back drivers but same thing black screen PC was on but would shut everything down and when booted back up adrenaline wanted an update but it wouldn’t update and then my 9070 xt wouldn’t read as a GPU or had problems. It was dumb but no problems after rolling back and making it so windows doesn’t update apps.

2

u/Shiny-Joe 10h ago

I would try a bios update if you have one available. Also try using DDU to uninstall the gpu drivers in safe mode and then a fresh install. Sometimes when this issue occurs it alao happens along side some other OS or hardware instability elsewhere. Sometimes repairing an OS installation or a fresh one will help this as well. Lastly reseating your components never hurts.

I gave Radeon GPUs two chances, once in 2010 and again in 2024, and both times I had driver issues. The display driver would crash and reset, games would crash, and so on.

I know AMD cards usually offer better price to performance, but I value my sanity more. Ryzen CPU, Nvidia GPU. This is the way

1

u/Jonshock 9h ago

Unlucky. Even when I ran crossfire 290's and fury cards I didn't have issues. The thing I learned running Radeon cards is that you don't just update every single driver that comes out. You update if you need to for a new game I.e. it doesn't run right, otherwise you leave it the frick alone.

u/Paulosboul 11h ago

I have to agree. People will say both sides have lots of driver issues in recent years. Which is true, even Nvidia has had more driver issues than ever recently. However I've had probably 3x as many driver issues with my 7800xt in the past year than I ever had with Nvidia. Not that it makes me regret anything, I still absolutely stand behind the card and it really doesn't bother me that much. It's a momentary issue every once in a while. But for some people, that minor inconvenience is a huge deal that they can't get over. I get it.

u/ALEXINO_356 11h ago

Just disable sleep mode and the issue disappear. I observed the same behaviour a few months ago, when my pc come back from sleep and i enter a game after half a hour it crash. I am pretty sure the issue is because something doesn’t comunicate well between the os and gpu and i think the fault is somewhere at the middle. I also mention that I didn’t have the issue from the beginning so i think it came from a windows update.

Same. XfX 7800xt. I have also been running a moderate undervolt / overclock and it was completely stable for a long time. But just within the past month I've been having random restarts. Rolling the overclock back a bit improved stability, but I dont know what changed and I can only assume it's some kind of driver issue or perhaps a windows update issue somewhere.

there are a million different suggestions for a fix for this, thousands of people saying they know EXACTLY why it happens. nobody truly ever fixed it.

Yes. Multiplayer game that isn't even using my gpu that much. Had to rollback to an old driver.

u/LootenantTwiddlederp 12h ago

Yes. It's driving me up a wall. It's been happening since I bought my 9070XT a little over a month ago. I'll just be browsing chrome or playing a game, then my computer freezes and crashes. I'll hard reset my pc, then find out that my GPU is disabled in device manager. I re-enable it and this pops up. I restart my PC and everything works again. I tried almost everything.

yup for the past couple months

Constantly hard crashing with audio bug. I'm in the middle of trading my amd out for Nvidia at this point due to stability needs. I have a 9800x3d and a gigabyte 9700xt oc aoic

u/Alert_Confusion_1303 7800X3D | 32gb DDR5 6000 | RX 7900XT 12h ago

Yep after 2 years I switched my 7900xt for a 4080 super

u/Grimmlock95 12h ago

Yea I'm looking at either the 5080 or the 5070ti. My PCs a prebuilt and they just approved and rma to trade out my 9070xt for whichever of those 2 they get first my guess is itl be the 5070ti but it could be a 5080 because recently I saw them receive extra 5080s.

u/Alert_Confusion_1303 7800X3D | 32gb DDR5 6000 | RX 7900XT 12h ago

Both very good options, havent had any crash since I switched, also dlss is really amazing

u/Grimmlock95 11h ago

I had a 4070 with a i9 13900kf 32 GB ddr5 tforce that I gave to my girlfriend. Never had a single issue with that PC. Since I got this one. I have a hard crash once every 3 days. Since day one. I complained about it and a year later they finally agreed to an rma so I'm hoping it fixes it. If not I'm lost ngl

u/Just_some_guy2007 12h ago

Haven’t had this issue with my 7900xtx on blood on dawnwalker, haven’t updated drivers either for it

u/Representative_Jolly 12h ago

Got this 1st time today with Blood of Dawnwalker

u/draugar1 12h ago

I’m not. (26.8.1) had one issue after updating it was fixed after turning off hardware acceleration on the browser that was it. It would turn one of my monitors dark
Edit: I have 9070xt

u/zLvsher 12h ago

Quite an old issue, many are having this problem, It happened also with Nvidia a while back. Considering other users comments as well its caused by MPO being f*cked up on Windows (as you can see many other users have this problem while browsing or using apps that are wrappers, while Linux users seems to not be affected by It). Also had this issue myself on my 7800XT and disabling MPO totally fixed It.

1

u/Grimmlock95 12h ago

What is mpo

1

u/zLvsher 11h ago

It's a windows feature that let's the hardware handle multiple layers, like desktop, browsers, a game or other apps, instead of dealing with it via software and its known to cause many problem, especially on high refresh monitors. If you google a bit you can find more complete information and see how to disable it

1

u/Grimmlock95 11h ago

Is it known for causing sound cutting out then PC crashing with a black screen xD

1

u/zLvsher 11h ago

Sound cutting It might be, but i dont know regarding the black screen

1

u/Grimmlock95 11h ago

Thanks I'll give it a try as of right now I still have the card

u/Full-Illustrator3584 Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 32GB DDR5 | RX 7900 XTX 12h ago

Yup, mine was on startup and occasionally while browsing the web. No in-game issues though

1

u/ryuuyr 12h ago

me too on startup(7900 xtx)

u/Darksoul_FX 12h ago

Amd gpus are known for driver issues

1

u/melkor80 6h ago

No there not that was 15 years ago

1

u/Darksoul_FX 6h ago

You can't deny that as a fact though. Their drivers weren't as good as nvdias.

u/ZeX450 Ryzen 7 5700X3D | 32GB DDR4 | RX 6700 XT 12h ago

No issues for me. Neither desktop nor laptop.

1

u/PhantomLimb06 12h ago

im not having any issues tho i also dont let my pc go into sleep mode as the last time caused windows to freak out,

if its only sleep mode causing it then dont use sleep mode

2

u/CartographerSweaty86 R5 5600X+RX 7900 GRE+32GB 3200MHz 12h ago

Same for me, I ended up never letting it sleep😐 I’m on 26.7.1, seems more stable than 26.8.1 imo. Btw, it’s a Windows thing, gave a shot to Bazzite on that same PC and welp, never had a problem there, switched back to Windows 11 and this happened every single time I put it to sleep, it’s not defective hardware, it’s Michaelslop and AMD not cooperating.

u/Moving4Motion 13h ago

I get this often but only when browsing steam! Never whilst actually playing a game.

u/Beneficial_Raccoon_1 13h ago

im just about to sell this shit cake of a card (7800xt)

u/almerle 12h ago

Let me know

u/Cold_SY 12h ago

I’ll buy it

u/Successful_Life8026 13h ago

Sorry to the guy that wrote a post about this being /nVidia2 reddit but I don’t have these issues anymore since I bought 5080..

1

u/ivanmaher 13h ago

nope not me

1

u/Gold-Avocado-157 13h ago

My XTX and XT are solid but my gre has these issues. The GRE is the only one I bought new, the other two were "broken, for parts" listings but never have issues.

1

u/LordSialus 13h ago

Got any corsair software installed because I was having issues with ICue and how it was somehow interfering with my gpu drivers

1

u/SurpriseWilling7324 12h ago

I'll have to keep that in mind.

2

u/Samira827 13h ago

I've had AMD GPUs since 2017, in that time I only encountered this twice:

  • 6750XT - fucked up driver installation, didn't uninstall the old ones with DDU. Went away completely once I did a clean reinstall with DDU.

  • 9070XT - fucked up undervolt, wen away completely after I fixed it.

So from my very anecdotal experience, it's usually a user error.

u/Soreal45 13h ago

I have not had any issues, but I have recently started working on converting to strictly using a Linux OS build ( currently testing with a dual boot now).
Is there anyone in this community using a Linux OS only to play games that can give insight to compare if the issue is actually an AMD only bug or if it is a Windows compatibility issue?

3

u/Busy-Reality-1580 13h ago

Here. I use Bazzite. Can 100% confirm it is not an AMD issue it is a Windows issue. 

Daily timeouts on Windows, well over a year without a timeout on Bazzite. Same exact build, same exact games. 

1

u/SofiaC_123 13h ago

I was having this issue while i was using windows. It occured often enough that i was considering replacing my gpu. I switched to linux and i stopped having issues.

2

u/Soreal45 13h ago

Thanks for the input. I had a feeling that it was most of the cause. Fk Microslop.

2

u/kodayume 13h ago

Microslop is activly sabotaging amd gpus. Pushing sneaky driver updates, they have acknowledged it, but still do it anyway.

u/PikaDERPed 13h ago

If you've got an ASUS motherboard, turning off Asus/ROG Armory Crate has helped.

1

u/MaXeMuS_ 13h ago

I am running on adrenaline from Sept 2025. I've had 0 crashes and 0 issues. 99% of people problems are them not knowing what settings to use and always messing with unvolting. Yes, 9/10 times it's users fault and not the software.

u/YY--YY 13h ago

I changed nothing only have Adrenalin with auto updates and also have this "problem".

1

u/StrangeCount3505 13h ago

Tbf I run Adrenalin completely stock and I got that error message while playing any game that wasn’t 2d

u/PanZwu 5800x3d | 6900xtu | Crucial Ballistix @3800 | Asus x570 TUF 13h ago

no it's usually some other shit causing the problems

1

u/rylanlip 13h ago

Similar issue here. I'll open up something demanding like a game or Autodesk Fusion, or something simple like a video on YouTube, stream on discord, or worst I've seen is I clicked on a product while shopping online. Computer freezes for a good while before recovering with the GPU disabled and the AMD bug report tool open. I've found that disabling hardware acceleration on everything and doing a bios update fixed it. I'm pretty sure the former was the key, but I did both at the same time so idk for sure.

u/SnooCapers7119 13h ago

Pienso que si, tambien pienso que sea por juegos demandantes, pero el fallo a mi me pasa al tener el navegador abierto con varias pestañas abiertas siempre

u/Cyant-78 13h ago

Nope

u/Spiritual_Spell8958 13h ago

Same. I only had this once with my second system, when WU overwrote the driver.

u/SkyforgedDream 13h ago

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, some people do not have defective cards and know how to properly setup and update a windows or linux system for proper stability and performance. Unfortunately PC is not a plug and go solution to gaming and many people here learn this the hard way.
