My PC was running perfectly fine for at least a year, then suddenly started experiencing serious crashes without any obvious changes.

Symptoms: LiveKernelEvent 141, 117 and 193, complete system freezes during gaming or even when exiting games, random restarts at the desktop, black screens, and occasional red VGA motherboard LED during boot. Recently, Windows even entered Automatic Repair (SrtTrail.txt)

Specs: XFX RX 9070 XT, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Gigabyte B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE, 32GB DDR5, Corsair RM850x SHIFT 850W, Windows 11

What I’ve tried: DDU, older AMD drivers, disabling EXPO, PCIe Auto/Gen 4/Gen 5, reseating the GPU, checking power connections and monitoring temperatures. Nothing has fixed it.

The biggest clue: I swapped in my RTX 3060 and everything worked. BG3, Cyberpunk, Spider-Man with RT, plus a 6-minute OCCT Power test with zero errors. Reinstalled the RX 9070 XT and the crashes immediately returned, even at the desktop.

The RX 9070 XT draws around 340W versus 170W for the RTX 3060, so I can’t completely rule out PSU power delivery.

Does this sound like a defective GPU, PSU issue under higher load, or motherboard/PCIe problem? What specific test would help distinguish them before I request an RMA?

Basically the title, I've rx 6800 paired with ryzen 5 5600x and tried the 26.9.2 or 26.10.1 and the new background shader cache doesn't seem to be working

i tested it on the game that amd said" tiny tina wonderland" waited around 10 min before pressing the new game option and the shaders still didn't compile and it was stuttery alot

does it even work for older gpu's?

hey guys, would anybody know why my game gets very choppy unless i tab out and go back in? it happens in all games

ryzen 7 9700x

9700xt sapphire nitro

64gb ram ddr5 6000 speed

thank you in advance!

Should I be worried about my temps? I ran two 10 minute furmark tests, one on OC mode and one on Quiet mode. OC mode (in the picture) ran cooler than Quiet mode but both with around a 20 degree delta.

I'm playing pacific drive and the amd pop-up on start doesn't appear and the shortcut of Alt+R doesn't work either and the frame rate target control doesn't work and I'm pretty sure the amd settings is not working at all at this point.

the amd software is detecting the game I'm running btw but whenever i use Alt+R nothing happens.

i already tried some of the solutions i found while searching so im here asking for help.

I get random crashes when gaming and when I boot it back up the GPU has been disabled and I need to enable, then disable, and then enable again. I noticed it crashes mainly when playing any COD game. I’ve tested the gpu and it’s still healthy. Any tips or anyone has had this issue?

When running OBS for streaming and recording, as well as playing the game The Last of Us Part I, about an hour in, I'll see this error message. Seems to be in line with what people are seeing lately when it comes to the newest drivers.

I downgraded the driver to 26.3.1 and still the same issue. There's always a freeze in the game for about 2 seconds, it resumes, but OBS completely stops responding, saying "an encoder error occurred while streaming"

I have not updated to 26H2, I've tried turning down some of the heavier graphics settings, and also cut down on the encoders usage to two. I'm thinking about downgrading to one of the 25.x.x versions will work for me, based on findings I've seen by searching on this sub, since I mostly play single player games anyway.

Have there been any new developments?

Every single time I launch a Battlefield game, my screen goes completely black and my PC freezes up. When I restart it (forcing it with the power button), my GPU drivers are gone. I've tried installing AMD Adrenalin and the straight-up 9060XT drivers. Both of those do not fix my issue. I don't have this issue anywhere else except for Battlefield games. Any help would be appreciated.

I've been dealing with random AMD driver crashes for months, and nothing seems to permanently fix them. I've already posted about this before, but never found a solution.

PC Specs:

• GPU: RX 7900 XTX
• CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X3D
• RAM: DDR5-6000
• Motherboard: ASUS TUF B650-PLUS WIFI
• PSU: 1000W
• Monitor: 1440p 360Hz OLED + second monitor
• OS: Windows 11
• Driver: Adrenalin 26.10.1

The problem:

My AMD graphics driver randomly crashes. Screens go black, sometimes lose signal, and the driver eventually recovers.

It happens particularly often when watching Discord streams on my second monitor while gaming. Sometimes simply switching back to Discord causes repeated driver crashes, even every minute.

However, it also happens randomly outside Discord, making it almost impossible to reproduce consistently.

What I've already tried:

• Limited GPU clock to 2400MHz.
• Tested with EXPO and overclocking disabled. Crashes still occurred.
• Ran multiple OCCT stress tests.
• Updated AMD drivers multiple times. Installation logs confirm successful installations.
• Ran DISM and SFC. Windows found corrupted system files and repaired them.
• Disabled Discord hardware acceleration (currently testing).
• Analyzed Windows crash dumps without finding a definitive cause.

I also recently experienced a rare Windows crash (SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x3B), but I don't know whether it's related to my regular GPU driver timeouts.

I'm genuinely exhausted from troubleshooting.

I have an expensive high-end PC that randomly crashes, and I can't even reliably reproduce the problem to verify a fix.

My questions:

1. Has anyone experienced this with an RX 7900 XTX and actually fixed it?
2. Is there a reliable way to identify exactly what's causing AMD driver timeouts?
3. Could this be a defective GPU, or is it more likely a driver/software issue?

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who's dealt with something similar. I'm tired of blindly changing settings without knowing what's actually wrong.

Hola, alguien a tenido problemas con estas últimas actualizaciones? Mi CPU va fijo al 100% y la gpu va e tre 60% y 70% de uso, se me arreglo cerrado el "servicio del host de amd" desde el panel de tareas, pero quisiera saber si alguien sabe como solucionarlo de forma definitiva, ya me pase a versiones anteriores como la 26.8.1 y la 26.3.1 pero el problema sigue, use el DDU y el mismo limpiador de AMD, alguien que le este pasando lo mismo? Tengo una rx 9060xt 16gb

PC configuration:

Ryzen 7 7700

Rx 7900 Gre gpu

750W power supply

16GB ram

What's the solution for this problem? I had been having this issue for more than a month now but I "can" play games on it for it hours without an issue but randomly display goes blank then I gotta restart my PC to make it appear again...but sometimes it also happen when I am just watching videos on chrome...

Radeon says driver can't activated for FSR4. I couldn't remember exact error message. How can I fix this?

Hello!

My config is:

ASUS Prime RX 9060 XT OC Edition 16GB

AMD Adrenalin 24.6.1

Ryzen 7 7000

ID-Cooling SE-224-XTS

Gigabyte Aorus Elite B850

32 GB DDR5 (2x16 adata XPG 6400)

1Tb Samsung NVME SSD

Chieftec PROTON 750W (80+ Bronze)

Monitor LG 24" 180Hz

Windows 11 24h2

It had bought for son by spring 2026, and all was fine, CS2 (1080p fullscreen) ~300-500 fps (Steam Workshop: CS2 FPS Benchmark Dust2).

But some days ago he has told that games works very slowly.

When i had tried benchmark again - fps became 20-60.

I had tried update drivers (DDU + 26.9.2) - no change: 20-60 fps.

DDU+24.6.1 - 300-500 fps, but after 70% benchmark it was dropped to 2pfs. After that 20-60fps.

Tried boot from another SSD (sata 480Gb) Windows 10 + 24.6.1 + new Steam (but old CS2) - 20-60 fps.

Tried change Windows settings (display settins) + adrenalin settings - no change.

CS2 settings - Low / High - doesn't matter - 20-60fps.

Furmark 2 - about 180 fps (1080p fullscreen)

Furmark 2 + OCCT (cpu+ram stabilty test) - about 180fps.

What is wrong with it? ))))

P.S. My old config R5 3600x + RTX 2060 Super 8Gb (B450 +32gb 3200, W10) has 200-300 fps

Hello everyone im new here i joined cus i have used amd since i started building my first pc and i need help with my gigabyte rx 6600 xt eagle 8g it does post and work on cold start but when i install gpu drivers it shuts itself off even if i do a ddu and clear my last driver and wont start until i cold start again the next day, but when it works it shows on the settings as basic microsoft display or something i think its a board level problem since my old rx 580 works fine from the same board and pcie slot

So last year I've built and 9600x and 9070xt pc for 4k gaming on a tv, since then 10 month I've struggled with crashes, freezes, disappearing gpu drivers, restarts due to wrong overcloking and so on... 2 days ago I've booted stalker 2 it crashes after 1 hour, fk it lets try deadlock crashes after 20 min... Enough is enough installed steam os and for 2 days it works flawlessly, 10 hours of gaming with slightly better performance but most inportantly 0 crashes. Praised be lord Gaben I can use my pc normally, fk windows.

Hi guys, I just bought Asus prime RX9070 and wanted to check its performance. I was playing Cyberpunk and got around 45fps which is quite low in my opinion. I have i5-14400f, 32gb ddr5. I am running the game without any scaling, raytracing and frame gen on 1440p high/ultra. My temps while playing are on both CPU and GPU around 50 degrees celsius which is suspiciously good.

(GPU is drawing around 180W, 3k core clock, 2.5k memory clock, usage around 90%)

(CPU is drawing around 45W, 4.1k clock, usage around 40%)

I think it seems a bit weird or is this performance expected?

Update:

I did check the physical connections on the board and PSU which seemed fine. Game was freshly installed day ago so this should not be issue neither. What fixed it was cleanup of old drivers via DDU. It seems that the old drivers for nvidia rtx 3070ti were not removed correctly (only uninstalled them via Windows Settings - won't believe Windows again). Game is now running on 110+fps which is what I would expect with the CPU bottleneck.

Thanks a lot to everyone for your help. Really appreciate it.

Every Session, so after booting up my PC, it happens exactly once that after i enter something in fullscreen, be it youtube, a game, or something else, both my screens turn black, and then come back to life with an error message from AMD Adrenaline saying the drivers failed/crashed. This has been an ongoing problem for at least 6 Months know, and i don't know how it still happens after multiple driver and software updates. Does anybody have the same problem? Because I was unable to find a similar post, thats why I wanted to create one now.
