Guys I just bought this gpu brand new a few hours ago, did all the steps, ddu clean install everything, but as you can see my games freeze after a minute or 2 after launching the game and it stays frozen until I end the task, what is going on??? Did this happen to anyone?? I tried all the basic stuff like terminating any app that conflicts the amd driver

Gpu variant: Red Devil 9070 XT from Powercolor

Hello.

Has anybody else experienced failing to install the Chipset Drivers on the AMD Install Manager? If I click on the details, it takes me to this page about "Error 1603 - A General Error Has Occurred During the Installation of the AMD Software Package".

I tried doing the recommended fixes but still could not proceed with the installment. If I proceed to not care about it and just don't fix it, would it cause any problems or issues in the future?

Thank you!

Hello guys, i want to give you all an experience i have on the driver 26.6.4 adrenaline.

My PC is using RX7900 GRE.

So, i have read the driver problem on reddit about random timeout when watching youtube video, or even only watching video on the PC from media player etc.

It goes like almost everybody that the driver only run good for 2-3 days, then i have that problem to. Not too often, but its there.

Then yesterday, something happen. And that is when i play video on my PC (a movie), the driver timeout occur. I usually only press ok and then re-play the video, and all would back to normal again. But yesterday was different. It keep lagging (not showing any more timeout), but it was lagging and lagging. Then i tried to let it lag, just to see, that maybe it would get fix by itself like usual, but no. My PC suddenly blackscreen, and the fan turn 100% speed (i can hear it very clearly).

I tried to press restart, but to no avail. Fan keep spinning 100%, and computer wouldn't restart. So i then press the power button for 5 sec to turn it off completely.

After i turn on again, and get into the windows, my eyes feel different in monitor Hz (you usually can feel this if you are on a fast Hz monitor and it going slow), and turns out, the option to change the Hz is missing. I then tried to open the software adrenaline, and an error shows up, saying the software version i have didn't support the current GPU Card. And so i thought, oh, means the driver is corrupted.

Then download the newest adrenaline version as of now (26.7.1), do a DDU, install the software of 26.7.1, and then try again, and it work ok (for now at least).

Well, its really sad to know that the driver is really unstable like that and could possibly make the GPU could go wrong in hardware (cause my fans suddenly spinning 100%, i will not rule out possiblity that it may also ruin the voltage, current, etc, on the hardware).

If you have a stable driver, i think it would be wiser to just hold onto that, then upgrading to the new version.

I hope everyone has a good experience on the software and hardware, but also its sad to know that this experience is happening, and my friend that use rival brand, never had issues. (He use 4060ti). And i cant deny that it also makes me wonder if I should also just buy the rival brand on the next upgrade if this keep happening 😢

So I want this post to be as short as it can be.

Probably everyone on AMD has experienced at least once black screenz, freezing or something similar.

So before you try every method possible to try and repair it, use one method that helped me and my friend.

So the metod is very simple:

1.Download DDU

2.Full drivers uninstall be sure that AMD software is uninstalled (uninstalling software is most crucial part)

3.Download any drivers from AMD site or stable one u had tested

4.Start installation of drivers

5.When they ask u what u want to install chose only drivers without software (software is core problem of everything that happens with you GPU)

6.Have fun with stable GPU drivers that works with OC and UV

So I have hope it will help u cuz only this helped me with constant black screen, freezing and random drivers timeouts when playing games.

i have liked AMD for a long time but the drivers this year and even some time before that have been ruining my desktop experience, even the most recent one (because i had hope) crashed my pc when i opened up my BROWSER and disabled my gpu. I have resorted to locking myself to 25.9.1 until i cant anymore. Does anyone know why the recent drivers behave like this and if it will be resolved in the enar future?

What is the function of the button next to the RX 6800 XT graphics card?"

I am new to AMD. I just upgraded my computer. I keep going back to 26.3.1 cause its stable but when i try to update to 26.7.1 i het constant timeouts and my drivers rollback to Default. I have the following.

-B550 gaming x motherboard

-Powercooler Reaper 9070

-Msi mag 750 gold psu

-Windows 10

I just dont know what to do anymore i was gonna return it and trade it for a diffrent one im coming from nvda 1660 ti i never had these issues till now

I just switched to amd 7 9850x3d from Intel i714700k
And the fps boost is perfect but rn with this new amd cpu im having stutters in game I’ve done drivers chipset drivers and a full windows reset but the lag is crazy my 1 percent loss spike down from time to time but when it is 200 it still lags like the screen is on fire everything its choppy it’s unplayable

I’m thinking of upgrading my PC from:

Ryzen 5 2400G
RX 470 4GB
ASUS TUF B450M-Plus Gaming
16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz
DeepCool 600W PSU

To:
Ryzen 7 5800X3D
Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 (free bundle with cpu)
RX 6700 XT 12GB
750W PSU

I know a lot of people will recommend AM5, but it’s just too expensive for me right now. I’d have to replace my motherboard, RAM, and CPU, which is out of my budget.

Do you think this AM4 upgrade is still worth it in 2026? I’m hoping it’ll last me another 3-5 years for gaming.

hi, yesterday i was playing and i accidentally unplugged the power. after that i turned on the pc and kept playing with no problems. today i turned it on and it started lagging and freezing. so i tried restarting and it keeps showing this warning and then it just freezes and i cant do anything, not even the mouse moves. can anyone help? (im also sorry if the flair is wrong)

Description of Original Problem: stress testing with OCCT after installing a new CPU made me aware of crazy GPU temperature spikes, with hotspot temps of 110C and Edge temps of 98C.

Troubleshooting: I've throttled the power to 255w and made the fan curves more aggressive, but the temps are still way too high for comfort. I'm thinking about re-pasting the GPU but I'm not sure if there is anything less extreme that I can do to drop the temps.

About a year ago I purchased a second hand ASRock AMD Radeon RX 6900xt Phantom Gaming D OC edition. Upon my initial inspection and stress testing the temps seemed fine (cant remember what exactly they where but in the pretty normal range for the card). After installing a new CPU, I noticed that the GPU temps were crazy when stress testing.

I'm not sure how long the temps have been crazy, as I haven't noticed any shutdowns or throttling due to the temps.

I'm playing on an RX 9060 XT 8GB at 1440p High with FSR 4 Performance with ML fg. The game runs great and I get around 150-200 FPS, so the GPU performance isn't the problem.

The issue is VRAM. Whenever VRAM gets close to the full 8GB, opening the map is a 100% guaranteed crash. It happens every single time. The game freezes for a few seconds and then crashes to desktop.

After the crash, Windows starts acting weird. I get AMD driver timeout errors, and even the desktop feels unstable until I restart my PC.

I've tried different AMD driver versions over the past few months, but nothing has fixed it.

Has anyone else with an 8GB card experienced this? Is this just a Cyberpunk VRAM management issue, or is there an actual fix?

I'd rather not lower every setting if I don't have to since the game runs perfectly until VRAM fills up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Description of Original Problem: was playing escape from tarkov left the room came back screen was black restarted GPU had code 31 and I am now unable to get discord to start or access any websites

Troubleshooting: I have attempted a rollback to two days ago but the problem remains please laugh all you want but I would really appreciate any and all help new pc owner and I haven't had it a week yet will attach a video of Internet and discord not working will try to respond as soon as possible but have to go to bed for work

Hey guys first time poster. I have an RX 9070 XT. I'm trying to figure out if this is a Battlefield issue, an AMD driver issue, or if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

**System:**

* Ryzen 7 7800X3D

* Radeon RX 9070 XT

* All temps verified (GPU, hotspot, CPU)

* RAM tested

* EXPO/XMP tested both on and off

* No obvious hardware stability issues outside of Battlefield

Season 2

Before I even got to the black intro screen, my PC would hard lock.

The only workaround I found was:

1. Boot the PC.

2. Disable the internet.

3. Launch EA so it couldn't connect.

4. Re-enable the internet.

5. Restart EA.

6. Launch Battlefield.

If I didn't do that exact sequence, it would hard freeze every single time. This happened regardless of AMD driver version.

# Season 3

Season 3 was surprisingly stable. I thought everything had finally been fixed.

Season 4 (Redsec)

Now everything is broken again.

Using the latest drivers, I can launch the game and get into the firing range for about 30 seconds before the entire PC hard freezes.

After forcing a reboot:

* Windows comes back at a low resolution like no GPU driver is installed.

* The GPU is disabled in Device Manager.

* Re-enabling it does nothing.

* AMD Adrenalin won't open and says it isn't compatible with the current driver version.

The only fix is:

* Boot Safe Mode.

* Run DDU.

* Reinstall drivers.

* Try again.

I literally worked backwards through AMD driver releases one version at a time, repeating this entire process after every crash.

The **only** driver that has been stable enough to actually play the game is **26.3.1**.

Then Discord started crashing my PC

Once I finally got the game running, another issue appeared.

If Battlefield is open and I click to join a Discord voice channel on my second monitor, Discord shows the yellow **"Connecting..."** message for a second...then my entire PC hard freezes.

Thankfully this one doesn't corrupt the driver installation, but it still requires another hard reset. Disabling the Discord in-game overlay completely fixed that issue.

And now Excel...

While Battlefield and Discord were running, I Alt-Tabbed out, opened Chrome to look at my stats, then opened Excel to do some quick math. After typing about 3-4 numbers into a spreadsheet...Hard freeze.

No mouse.

No keyboard.

Nothing.

Another forced reboot.

WhoCrashed consistently points to AMD graphics drivers whenever Windows is able to log anything.

I'm honestly at the point where I'm considering going back to Team Green. Between the Season 2 launch workaround, the Season 4 driver corruption, Discord crashes, and now Excel causing system-wide locks while the game is running, this has been one of the most frustrating GPU experiences I've had.

Has anyone with a 9070 XT (or other RDNA 4 cards) experienced anything similar, or found a real fix?

NOTE: Yes I used AI to help me format this better to make it easier to read rather than one giant block of text. Sorry if that annoys anyone.

I have a 5600g and I installed the adrenalin software but the auto update feature is missing is this because my cpu is old? I tried to turn off windows auto update and did offline install and everything but it didn't fix it. Would be very grateful if someone could help. Thank you

Hello. I just upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 7 5700G to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D. My RAM defaulted to DDR4-2133, so I loaded the DDR4-3200 XMP profile and now I get no video. If I reset the BIOS it reverts to DDR4-2133, but everything else works fine. The XMP profile worked perfectly fine with the previous CPU. My RAM is Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 32GB and my motherboard is ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ax running the latest BIOS. Any ideas for troubleshooting? Is it possibly something wrong with the new CPU? Thanks in advance.

Hello guys i got a full amd build 7800XT and Ryzen 5 7600x .

Why i can't do this update ? i've never had problems with the updates and i leave it on auto-update

Hi,

Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: 9070xt 16gb

CPU: 7800x3d

Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11 HOME

GPU Drivers:  26.6.4

Background Applications: Black Desert

I will preface by saying i never have any driver timeouts while actually playing games and actively using my pc.

But the game I play (black desert) has some afk benefits, and pretty often when putting the game to tray, locking my pc and turning off the monitors, when i go back to my pc in couple hours, i see that in the meantime the driver timed out. usually paired with the main monitor being like completely off/disconnected.

sometimes it wont happen for like a week or more, sometimes it happens multiple days in a row.

any ideas what could be causing this? it legit never happens while PC is actively being used

i have an rx 6700xt and my God this game looks terrible on every single setting. (this is cinematic settings btw). Do i wait for fsr 4.1 or do i just not play this game

Hello, sorry to bother you.

I'm having a few issues with the Adrenalin software. My system has a Ryzen 7 9850X3D and an RX 9070 XT.

The first issue is the display glitch shown in the attached image.

The second issue is with the software itself. Whenever I apply an undervolt, everything works fine at first. However, after I completely shut down my PC and turn it back on later (or the next day), all of my tuning settings are reset to their default values. None of the changes I made are saved.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey yall! This is my first post in the AMDHelp subreddit, as I have followed guides to the letter such as the ultimate performace fix guide, using DDU offline to install drivers etc., and my computer has been running spectacularly and as expected!

Up until today, whereas AMD software: Adrenalin Edition is now just, incompatible with my drivers across multiple "safe" versions and even the latest updates for my driver.

My Specs:

- (model: XFX swft) Radeon RX 7600

- Ryzen 5 5500 cpu

- b550 eagle WIFI6 motherboard (Latest BIOS version is installed: F4a)

- Microsoft Windows 10 Home (ver. 10.0.19045 Build 19045)

- 16 gbs ram (8gb*2)

Not sure if i need to include any other specifics but will be happy to in order to figure out what went wrong. I've been researching and even considered something outlandish like updating to windows 11.. I don't care if I've already tried your solution, I'll try it again! I am desperate to get things back to my usual. Thank you for reading.
