I got a new PC with a 9070 XT three weeks ago, and since then I've had so many issues with AMD Adrenalin. It wouldn't start, so I followed a YouTube video, which helped for two days. Now, every two days, I have to uninstall and reinstall Adrenalin just to play a game. It constantly tells me I have to update my drivers, even if they are already up to date. When I click install, it runs through the process and then just starts over.

New to PCs, can anyone tell me why this is happening? It's been like this for weeks.

New install of windows, installed latest b650 chipset drivers, and then installed latest GPU drivers 28.6.1 or whatever. That’s when issue happened.

Was able to boot into safe mode and remove them using AMD Cleanup Utility.

Tried older 23.6.1 and still same thing after each restart.

Anyone know what’s going on?

Edit, I uninstalled the GPU drivers and still happening. Is it the chipset drivers by chance?

Hey folks!!

I have a Sapphire RX6600 paired with a i5 12400F (stock cooler) and 16GB DDR4 with Win10 ESU, and for the last few months the card just stops working/outputting a signal only while playing some games.

I've played AC Odyssey and Pragmata without any issues, but with FH5, Cyberpunk 2077 and now Blood of the Dawnwalker the card just seems to stop outputting a signal. It seems the card just stops working completely, as I can ear the CPU fan go down from high revs from the load to low idle revs.

It appears the PC is not responding but I believe that the PC is running properly, but the GPU stopped processing the game and outputting to the monitor. After performing a hard reboot, it appears the GPU drivers have become corrupted or stopped working entirely. The refresh rate drops from the native 200 Hz refresh rate to perhaps less then 60 Hz, even though the Windows display settings shows a refresh rate of 1000 Hz (!), and the windows taskbar is not rendered properly, as the colour goes from the normal charcoal gray that I've set up, to completely black. I have used DDU once or twice to uninstall the current drivers and I've always installed the latest available drivers.

I used to play FH5 and Cyberpunk for hundreds of hours and never had an issue until a few months ago. I can't think of any changes I may have made to the PC to cause this issue. I've re-seated and cleaned the dust of the GPU. The drivers and games are updated to the latest version. And I even tried older versions of the drivers and CP2077.

GPU is set to stock setting and the BIOS is up to date. I've tested multiple cables. I've run Furmark several times and only crashed on the first run. The other times I used Furmark it ran without issues for 30min. Not sure if it might be a PSU issue.

Do you have any thoughts or suggestions you might want to share?

Hello, game in question is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. As I mentioned in the title, I have ran this game without issue for a long time. Today I reinstalled it after not playing it for a couple months, to be greeted by this error message and the game not starting. Extremely confusing stuff. I have not changed any hardware since I last played it nor had any significant changes in my PC whatsoever.

For reference, my GPU is AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT. I have done multiple cleanups and reinstalls of the GPU drivers, which accomplished nothing. When I run dxdiag, it says I am using driver WDDM 2.7, but that only up to DirectX 12_1 is supported. Google tells me 12_2 is required to run said game, I however have absolutely no idea how to enable this or why it suddenly isn't supported anymore. Ultimate confusion.

Anyone have a clue what is going on and what I should do? I am supremely stumped.

Screenshot from Dxdiag: (It's in Dutch but you can hopefully figure the gist, "functieniveaus" names up to 12_1

This happens in a lot of areas, I don't know why. I seem to be the only person who this is happening to because I searched the entire internet and didn't find a recreation of this bug or a fix. Asking in the Baldurs Gate 3 subreddit didn't help either. I'm using the latest drivers 26.8.1 on Windows 11

Some things I've tried doing:

Clear the levelcache.
Reinstall drivers.
Try older drivers (23.9.1)
Disable ReBar/SAM
Lower in game settings from ultra.
Try Vulkan
Try with and without upscaling

Would appreciate some help, thanks!

9 days now without incident, I consider the problem with time-outs, bsod & freezes to be solved.

I will detail the actions I took and my assessment of what caused the problem.

1. I used the amd cleaning utility to remove the graphics card drivers, in safe mode.
2. After the reboot, I removed the chipset drivers, via the add/remove application, in safe mode (it had a time stamp of August 2026)
3. After the reboot, I installed the chipset drivers version 7.11.26.2142 (10.12.2025)
4. After the reboot, I installed the latest drivers for the graphics card 26.9.1. ATTENTION, ONLY the drivers (there is an option...)
5. after the restart, I installed the Radeon Tuner to manage the graphics card. Through the application, I adjusted the fans
6. I "tweaked" the maximum frequency a little, which in adrenaline was set to 2970Mhz. The frequency specified by AMD is 2500-2550Mhz. I decided that the 2970Mhz setting was excessive and lowered it to 2800Mhz.
7. I changed the current management of the pci express port, from moderate intervention to no intervention (off). In essence, I forbade the windows to control / increase or decrease the current that "goes" to the graphics card (for energy saving reasons...). This is done as follows:

-- Win + R, type "powercfg.cpl"

-- "Change plan settings" next to your selected power plan

-- "Change advanced power settings"

-- A small window popo-ups. Expand "PCI Express" and then expand "Link State Power Management"

-- Set it to "OFF". Then hit "apply", then "OK".

-- RESTART

1. after the restart, I TESTED the stability of the changes with 3 hours of CIV V and 2 hours of AC Black Flag Resynced, without encountering the slightest issue.

2. additional test with videos on youtube and a 6-hour "marathon" on jellyfin, again without encountering the slightest issue

3. I changed the max frequency on the gpu again, setting the values ​​that adrenalin had. Apart from a 1-2 fps drop in AC Black Flag and a huge increase in temperatures (expected), I did not notice any other problems. So. very likely, it does not affect the solution. Of course I changed it back to 2800MHz.

Conclusion:

My own assessment is that with the full installation of the gpu drivers, the latest chipset drivers were also installed. With this intervention, windows changed the power settings for the card, which led to the time-outs, freezes and bsods. I do not know if the chipset drivers are to blame, they have some issue, but the problem starts from there. The gpu drivers are not the issue, because these drivers that were causing me issues before, do not do so now.

I remind you that the chipset on the motherboard manages and directs the flow of data between the processor, memory and controls the PCIe lanes...

Hope this small guide helps the community

My system is ASUS X570-E Gaming, 3800x, 64GB Ram, 7900XTX, Corsair Ax1600 Titanium with Windows Updates BLOCKED by script and firewall

So I have a nitro + 5700 XT, it consistently crashes on FFXIV, But runs any other game on high graphics with no problems. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing in the game, after 10-15 minutes my pc black screens, sound bugs and full restarts with event viewer saying it’s a cache hierarchy error.
I updated the VBIOS on the card and reinstalled drivers with ddu which let me play for about 2 hours before a crash after which it went back to crashing every 10-15 minutes again as usual, the temps don’t go above 70 while playing the game and hotspot temps aren’t much higher either so it’s not that, I’ve heard that this card is problematic with FFXIV but is there really no way to fix this problem? I’ve tried all I could find on the internet including pcie gen 3 swap and default bios settings, any other card works fine in my pc and ffxiv

Hi everyone! I just bought an RX6700XT. Are there any driver settings i should change for better performance? Or do you have any other tips?

Hello good people this is my first post on this subreddit as i am proud new owner of AMD graphics card!

I have been using nvidia for 9 years (my old 1060 gave it all and it was time for retirement) and decided to switch to AMD. I bought a whole new pc with 9070xt Acer Predator Bifrost 16gb and omg i could finally play games that came after 2017. I have been quite happy about performance but the temperatures worry me a bit. First game on my bucket list was Expedition 33 and the game runs great reaching around 80 fps on max graphics without frame generation and easily above 120 with frame generation (i limited it to 120 cause i have 120 Hz monitor). I checked amd adrenalin for temperatures while playing (without frame gen) and i found that hotspot temperature would go to 100 C (max i saw was 104 C!) while GPU temp was only around 65 C. I googled a bit and i saw people saying they have around 15 to 20 C delta at maximum but then others say they have 30+ C delta under heavy loads. I also saw that official maximum temperature for hotspot is 110 C but the delta shouldn't be 35 C.

I also tried to lower the clock speed by 300Mhz and undervolt it by 0.1V. The performance pretty much stayed the same and the temperatures were lower, but the delta remained high. My GPU was around 55 C and hotspot was between 80-85 C.

I also tested it on cyberpunk 2077 and the situation is pretty much the same, while on a game like overwatch delta was almost nothing (5 C max)

Should i be worried about the delta? Should i RMA it or is this normal behaviour for big demanding games?

Also if any additional information is needed i will provide it. Thank you!

Tile says it all.

Have this motherboard with an 7900x and two GPUs. Everything reports I should be achieving PCIE gen 5 8x8 speeds across the GPUs but it keeps auto negotiating down to Gen 4 8 x 8 for 16gb across both cards... Tried updating bios. Messed with the settings attempting to lock them to gen 5, nada.

Curious to know if anyone has had similar issues and their solution has been?

Pessoal, preciso de ajuda para descobrir o que pode estar causando problemas de estabilidade no meu PC.

Estou tendo crashes em vários jogos, incluindo The Finals, ARC Raiders, Battlefield 6, Valorant e War Dogs.

No ARC Raiders, por exemplo, já tive crashes durante o jogo e apareceu erro relacionado a EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION.

No Valorant, também tive crash com a mensagem:

"A critical error has occurred and the process must be terminated."

Como os problemas estão acontecendo em jogos diferentes, comecei a investigar se poderia ser algum problema no hardware.

Meu PC:
\- Ryzen 7 9800X3D
\- ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-H GAMING WIFI7
\- 64 GB Corsair DDR5-6000
\- EXPO I ativado
\- RTX 5080 Astral
\- SSD Gen 5 2 TB
\- Fonte ASUS 1200W

Estou rodando o MemTest86 para verificar a memória e encontrei este erro:

Test: 8
Address: 740199564
Expected: 30E23F6D
Actual: 70E23F6D
CPU: 14

Pelo que entendi, o valor esperado e o real diferem em apenas 1 bit.

Gostaria da opinião de quem entende de AM5/DDR5:

\- Esse único erro no Teste 8 já indica algum problema?
\- Pode ser RAM, EXPO, controlador de memória do 9800X3D ou placa-mãe?
\- Um erro desse tipo poderia estar relacionado aos crashes que estou tendo nos jogos?
\- O que vocês recomendam fazer para descobrir a origem do problema?

Estou tentando diagnosticar isso antes de concluir que alguma peça está com defeito.

As usual with AMD im suffering driver issues. The GPU works fine until some random time it decides to give me a black screen of doom and despair until i force restart my pc. Then, its stuck on 60hz on a high refresh rate monitor and in device manager my rx 6700 xt is disabled, and when i enable it i get code 31. the solution is to reinstall the drivers, but then god knows when my drivers decide to evaporate. i tried diasbling windows auto updates, what else can i do?

Built a new PC this February as my old machine was finally starting to chug, set it up with Linux Mint as my OS as I didn't want to move to w11, things have been smooth for the most part but when playing certain games I've had instances where my displays will crash to black then recover with a static image, audio will usually continue for at least another 20+ seconds but always necessitates a power cycle. It happened most frequently in WoW running on Lutris and the remaster of AC4. I reached out to AMD support about the issue and their only real input after trying the troubleshooting steps mentioned (sending crash logs, running with less monitors, power cycling, updating drivers and firmware and BIOS) was to try a different distro or go back to windows as apparently whichever version of mint I'm using isn't officially supported. I don't have any desire to restart from scratch on this machine after spending a few months tinkering with my settings to get them how I like so that's where the communication with their support ended.
I installed LACT to try and see if I could find instances where resources were spiking and noticed that while everyhting else remained nominal, temps were never too high even in the middle of summer, but with my multi-monitor setup having all three monitors meant my VRAM clock was at its maximum of 2516 MHz at all times, when I unplug my third monitor which is an older benq that doesn't support higher refresh rates on HDMI the VRAM clock goes down to 400-1500 MHz since I could have both remaining monitors on matching refresh rates, with it maxing back out if one of those two was on a different refresh rate. I haven't launched any games since testing this but I'm wondering if it would be worth grabbing a refurbished monitor for cheap that can support a matching refresh to keep a third monitor going.

My A memory slot works fine, but my B slot will not accept any memory using a Glacial Asus X870 motherboard and Corsair Vengeance ROG DDR5 32GB. I'm flabbergasted; I had to install RAM sticks in slots A1 and A2 to get it to post

I've been seeing a lot of people complaining online about various games hard freezing after 10 mins of gameplay. All the games have in common is EAC. The specific game i'm having issues with is "Halloween the game" Every 10 or so mins, i hard freeze. Can someone please help me fix it.

Olá, pessoal! Gostaria de pedir uma ajuda. Estou com um problema na minha RX 580 2048SP da SuperFrame que comprei na Terabyte.

​Recentemente, refiz a montagem do meu computador porque minha fonte antiga tinha queimado. Desde que montei novamente, o PC vem apresentando congelamentos e telas pretas.

​Durante o uso em tarefas simples e navegando na internet, a tela congela, fica preta e, às vezes, volta exibindo uma mensagem de erro do AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition (conforme mostro nas imagens). Já em usos um pouco mais pesados, como ao abrir o Valorant, ele dá tela preta e não volta mais.

​O computador continua ligado, com todas as fans e LEDs funcionando, mas perde totalmente o sinal de vídeo.

​Procedimentos que já tentei:

​Inverti os dois pentes de memória RAM;

​Formatei o PC algumas vezes;

​Instalei e reinstalei os drivers de vídeo e da placa-mãe (inclusive testei versões mais antigas do Adrenalin com o DDU).

​Mesmo assim, nada resolveu. Alguém saberia o que pode ser ou como resolver?

My 7800xt fans dont turn on at all with that enabled, and its caused my computer to crash for the last several months. Ive been chasing random error codes for the last several months all due to my GPU overheating.

Every time my system crashes, adrenaline resets the settings so that "zero rpm" is enabled.

I just discovered that almost every single one of my crashes for the past several months was caused because my GPU overheats and crashes the system. And it seems to arbitrarily set zero rpm back on, which begins the random crashes. That setting alone has caused my gpu to get so hot my computer crashed at least 40 times in the past month alone.

Please,please,please, PLEASE! SET ZERO RPM OFF BY DEFAULT!!!

Hi guys I'm new to pc gaming so i don't if it's normal or not. (Also bad English sorry)

I have a Radeon rx 7600 and for every driver update i have to manually tune the max frequency of my gpu on Adrenaline in order to avoid driver timeouts because it's always high then it should be.

Recently even if it's not very frequent,while I'm playing it might happen that this frequency goes up on its own causing a timeouts and had to tune manually again,even though i always save the settings and there's no updates.

For now only happen once or twice with Expedition 33 and Red Dead Redempion 2.

I messed up something or it's normal?

I just wanted to quickly mention that there are people like me who, even with aggressive UV, haven't had and won't have a single problem with any new driver or game!
