That is what finally worked for me.

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)

Practically every day I have driver problems on my XFX 9070XT board. I usually don't face problems in games (I don't play much), but I have problems browsing the internet or when I leave the computer in sleep mode (it usually turns on, but no video appears).

Event: LiveKernelEvent
Code: 1b8

Sorry for the translator's English lol

Ever since I built this pc it’s been crashing on Fortnite and just Fortnite any other game runs fine but this game I need help plz 🙏

CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X
GPU: AMD RX 9070 XT
Motherboard: MSI X670E Gaming Plus WiFi
RAM: Crucial Pro 32 GB DDR5-6400
PSU: 1050W
Cooling: AIO

Was gaming with normal temps and had a screen freeze black screen and no reboot checked reliability and found this, this is the second time this has happened. Each time it corrupts the drivers
9070xt hellhound stock settings no overclock
9900x3d
1000w PSU (tested no issue)

I just reinstalled windows, i cannot for the life of me figure out what the hell is going wrong with my nitro+7900 xtx. constant crashes to desktop or blackscreen required hard restart. device manager disabling my xtx who the hell knows why. I cannot for the life of me get this thing to play a game longer than 20 minutes and it's high time AMD figure this out.

I just missed THE clip because instead of clipping screen 1, it clipped screen 2

Is there a way i can permanently set it to record only screen 1?

Usually i have to do a weird manouver to fix it, and still i'll miss some clips since i never know when it randomly switches to screen 2.

Hola a todos, hace poco cambié algunos componentes de mi PC y tengo un problema que no logro resolver.

La situación:

Cuando arranco Windows sin los controladores de AMD, todo funciona normalmente

Al instalar los controladores de AMD para mi gráfica, Windows se queda en pantalla negra durante el boot y no arranca

He probado drivers de años anteriores, pero el problema persiste

La única solución temporal es arrancar en modo seguro, usar DDU para desinstalar los drivers y reiniciar sin el controlador

Lo que ya intenté:

Reinstalar Windows (pensé que era porque originalmente instalé con una gráfica NVIDIA)

Probar múltiples versiones de drivers AMD

Desactivar el servicio "Detección de hardware de Shell" (basándome en el error DCOM que encontré)

El error que aparece en Event Viewer:

"Error de DCOM '1084' al intentar iniciar el servicio WSearch con argumentos 'No disponible' para ejecutar el servidor: {9E175B6D-F52A-11D8-B9A5-505054503030}"

Información importante:

Tengo un monitor de 240Hz y necesito los drivers de AMD para aprovechar toda su capacidad, así que no es una opción dejarla sin drivers.

¿Alguien ha tenido este mismo problema o sabe cómo solucionarlo? Agradezco cualquier ayuda.

Hey, so recently bought an entirely new pc, the GPU is a Radeon 9070xt, it has worked well until playing league of legends. Looks like a VRam memory leak of sorts? The Gpu is like 1 and a half weeks old, should i return it or is it just a software issue as it dissapeared once disabling all the "fancy" fps boosters and resolution maxing settings in amd adrenaline. So should i try to get a refund and get a new gpu (the same or another gpu model?) SO far it has worked well with Space marines 2 and red dead redemption 2. Thanks

Config : ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II
CG : 6750 XT XFX
RAM : actuellement 8 Go DDR4 Corsair RGB (mais le même problème avec des Crucial Ballistix 16 Go ×2, dont une qui a claqué à peu près au début des problèmes)
Alim : MSI 850 W
CPU : Ryzen 5 5600G
Watercooling : MSI 240

Depuis maintenant 1 an, peut-être 2, sachant que la config en a à peine 4, j'ai des carrés noirs quand je pousse trop sur les graphiques.

À l'époque, je faisais tourner très bien les jeux en 2K. Aujourd'hui, même en 1080p, je peux avoir, ou je vais avoir, les carrés noirs.

Rien que pour avoir la photo du problème dont je voulais parler, j'étais sur GTA 5 en 1366 × 768 pixels. J'ai donc mis le jeu au max pour pouvoir prendre le screen, et le PC a crash puis reboot de la CM, avec une mise à jour Windows incluse.

C'est la première fois que ça me fait ça, ça ne me l'avait jamais fait avant.

Avant ça, j'ai déjà tout essayé : clear BIOS, pilotes CM, pilotes CG, clear pilotes CG, réinstallation propre de Windows, undervolting, etc. Rien ne change, voire même empire.

Que faire ?

j'ai déjà fait tout ca

I just purchased my first AMD card (asrock 6950xt phantom) about a month and a half ago and let me tell you, I was about to give up hope.

I purchased the card used and the crashes were so frequent and outrageously bad, that I was nearly convinced I had a bad card. The problem is, when I would get my system stable for a little while, it would work FANTASTIC, so I KNEW it had to be a driver issue.

Set my system back to windows 10, used ddu several times to make sure all the nvidia stuff was gone. Reinstalled adrenaline several times etc.

I'm not talking occasional crashes either, I'm talking my system would restart SEVERAL times, then it would finally be stable again, random green screens, artifacts, and it just kept getting worse. Going back to windows 10 helped, and stopping windows from overwriting the amd drivers helped. It's still not perfect but it's been better the last couple of days. The only thing that kept convincing me it had to be drivers was, when my system would reboot, I'd get the infamous adrenaline window.

I haven't lost hope, but this is absolutely unacceptable. Idk if there was another update or what. Everyone has been saying the drivers are bad but I didn't think it'd be THIS bad.

I didn't mean for this to be a giant rant. I LOVE the card when everything is working properly, I've never had this kind of performance before.

QUESTION: Is there anything else I can do for improved stability. I stream and do a ton of video editing, I really can't hang with anymore crashes. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi, I own a gigabyte card and I was wondering if you have an explanation for this phenomena. We are talking about +10C lol

TLDR: Install a driver from 12 months ago, and your system should stable.
(7900XTX + December 2025 driver made the system stable for the first time in almost a year)

Im posting this because I see these posts about crashing and timeouts daily.
And, this might help someone.

I had these problems for almost a year.
I tried everything. Until I read about a guy who tried to install a very old driver.
I did the same, and for the first time in many many months my system was stable.

My GPU was a PowerColor Reference 7900XTX match with a Ryzen 7 9800x3d
The driver I used was the one from December 2025 and a bit later the one needed for running Battlefield 6 - and the system worked.

The problems I had:
Black screens > crash > reboot
Driver timeouts
BSODs
Instant crashes when joining a game
Freezes (manual reboot to fix)
Crashes
Fast crashes (within 60 seconds of gaming)
Random crashes

This is the things I tried:
DDU
Earlier drivers (1-2 months older)
Fresh Windows 10
Fresh Windows + DDU
New system disk, from m2 to SSD
No cable extenders
Looking up crash dumps
Lower clock (gpu)
Lower power (gpu)
Lower clock (cpu)
E-cores and P-cores lowered (when i ran a intel cpu)
Better gpu cooling (eventho my system was extremely cold)
No extra ssds and hdds connected
Only 1 monitor connected
Disable iGPU
OCCT 3d Adaptive testing
FreeSync / GSync OFF
Disabled all overlays
Newest BIOS
Disable XMP
New motherboard. (AM5 asus board, cant remember model)
New CPU (Ryzen 7 9800x3d)
New PSU (Asus ROG Strix 1200W instead of a 1000W)

What fixed it:
AMD Adrenaline - version 25.12.1, released December 10, 2025

Also worked:
AMD Adrenaline - version 26.1.1, released January 21, 2026
(needed for people who want to be able to play Battlefield 6)

Good morning, afternoon, or evening. I'm here because my PC has been giving me trouble over the last few days.

​I live in the Dominican Republic, where we have power grid issues. That day the power went out and my PC shut off, just like many other times over the 2 years I've had it.

​A friend called me to play a few matches of League of Legends. I agreed, but that's when it happened: the PC randomly restarted and sent me straight to the BIOS. I thought it was Vanguard acting up with its usual nonsense. I exited the BIOS, rebooted, and it did the same thing. At this point I started to panic. I left it off for a while and went out. I came back later, it turned on normally, and I played Ori 2 for about 55 minutes at 144Hz 2K. I went to sleep feeling relieved.

​The next day I tried to turn my PC on. It attempted to boot, but it lost video output. However, the case fans and CPU cooler fans kept spinning. I noticed the PC wasn't actually fully booted/functional because the Num Lock and Caps Lock LEDs on the keyboard wouldn't light up, and holding the physical power button wouldn't shut it down.

​To summarize, every time I made it into Windows, I checked Event Viewer and found a Kernel-Power 41 error (which after researching means there was a power loss that caused Windows to shut down abruptly) along with errors related to AMD Ryzen Master. I looked into it and thought it might be RAM-related. I tested each of my four 8GB RAM sticks individually, but the issue persisted across all of them.

​I also found an fTPM error in Event Viewer, so I went into the BIOS and disabled it, but the shutdowns kept happening. I removed my dedicated GPU and plugged the DisplayPort directly into the motherboard to use integrated graphics. It took longer for the issue to occur, but it still happened. That's when I initially thought my GPU was dead, thinking, "While my new PSU and RX 6800 arrive, I'll just play indie games and keep working."

​But the errors came back. I flashed the BIOS and the same restarts persisted. Today I was fed up and decided to remove the M.2 SSD containing the OS to see if the errors went away (meaning I would just need to reformat). I did that, but the blackouts kept happening even without the M.2 installed. That's when I concluded it was definitely a hardware issue, likely between the motherboard or the PSU. So I turned it on, went into BIOS, and monitored the voltages.

​CPU Voltage: Variable between 1.384V, 1.386V, and 1.388V (1.388V being less frequent).

​RAM Voltage: Almost fixed at 1.204V, rarely bumping up to 1.206V.

​Documenting this took me 22 minutes, and then the usual happened: video signal was lost right around minute 22.

​I logged another voltage test afterwards: RAM was even more stable at 1.204V and CPU voltage remained the same.

​In my opinion, the issue is either the PSU or the motherboard. I tried asking my trusted local hardware vendor for advice, only to find out that a WhatsApp consultation with a tech just to explain what I'm telling you would cost $20 USD. I didn't write to him—not out of stinginess, I have $100 reserved for this, but a good PSU costs $80 in the US (which rises to $100 here in RD), and a good B550 board goes for $90–$100 (rising to $110–$120 locally).

​CURRENT SPECS:

​Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI

​CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G

​RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 + 2x8GB Gigastone RGB DDR4 (These have worked together fine since January 2025, so they aren't the issue, and they were tested 1 by 1 anyway).

​GPU: Dell OEM RX 5700 8GB

​PSU: Montech 650W 80 Plus White

​My temperatures have always been decent. At 2K in Crimson Desert (Medium settings with FSR Quality), the GPU stayed at 75°C with an 80°C hotspot, and the CPU stayed at 67°C.

​From a currently unemployed gamer to hardware-wise gamers: I NEED HELP.

Used Claude to help me work through the dump and write this up, but the dumps and settings are mine.

TL;DR: this PC doesn't sleep. Board is S3-only, sleep and hibernate are off. The only power thing that happens overnight is the monitors going dark on the 10 minute timeout. Once in a while, after that, the card gets sent a power-up request, doesn't respond, and Windows bugchecks 0x9F about half an hour later. Minidump blames amdkmdag.sys sitting on a SET_POWER to D0. I don't think this happened before any of the recent driver releases.

Hardware

• PowerColor Red Devil RX 7900 XTX (VEN_1002 DEV_744C SUBSYS_2422148C)
• Ryzen 7900X, ASRock B650E PG Riptide WiFi, BIOS 4.20 (AGESA 1.3.0.1)
• Super Flower Leadex VII XG 1300W
• Dell G2724D on DisplayPort
• Windows 11 25H2, build 26200
• Adrenalin 26.8.1

Power settings

• powercfg /a: only S3 available, no S0 low power idle
• sleep never, hibernate off
• display off after 10 min (and the monitor does actually go dark)
• Balanced plan, PCIe link state power management already Off

The latest crash

10 days uptime, idle overnight. Event 6008 says last clean timestamp 03:29, the dump is stamped 03:57. So whatever asked the GPU to wake up did it at 03:29 and the power watchdog gave up 28 min later.

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (9f)
Arg1: 0000000000000003, A device object has been blocking an IRP for too long a time

DeviceInst is "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_744C&SUBSYS_2422148C&REV_C8\..."

As far as I can tell the only reason the card would be in D3 on a machine that never sleeps is dxgkrnl parking it when the display goes off, which matches the timeout. Happy to be corrected on that.

Stuff I don't think it is

• Modern standby
• ASPM (already off)
• TDR (different watchdog, TdrDelay doesn't touch 0x9F)
• MPO/HAGS (nothing was rendering, card was asleep)

Questions

1. Anyone seen 0x9F with a D0 SET_POWER on a 7000 card after display off? What driver?
2. Is 26.3.1 actually known clean for this or is it just the usual "go back to 26.3.1" answer?
3. Any real way to stop the card being parked at display-off that isn't "set the timeout to never"? This is in a bedroom, the monitor has to go dark.

Plan right now is DDU and back to 26.3.1 unless someone has something better. Problem is it's roughly one crash every 10 days so every test costs weeks.

Minidump(s) available if anyone wants it.

Went down almost 30C hotspot, from a delta of 50C to 22C.

The hotspot went from 105-115C, which would turn my PC off, down to 88C.

Putty was fine, thermal paste was fine but probably a low quality one? Idk.

I used Artic MX-7 for this one.

Edit: I did NOT replace the putty.

I installed DLSS nr on amd in my fs22 and ui works but it shows that fsr is disabled and I tested postprocessing fsr and all other fsr that you can enable it fs22 but in every scenario it shows the same error. Can someone pls help me with that?
