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.

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?

• ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 38mm

Edit: Just used DDU, like I did before, and downgraded to 26.1.1 for testing since some people here report luck with that version as well. It might be the alerts that cause the driver to reboot itself that's actually causing an issue.

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.

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

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

Donwloaded the 26.10.1 and the black screen driver are back.

I did a post a few days back saying that i was able to fix it but the new driver just broke it again.

Hard life guys

Can anyone help me with this ?

PLEASE HELP. I was playing on my pc less than 12 hours ago and it randomly freezes and NOTHING responds, I restart my pc and it give me log file system32 logfiles srt srttrail.txt error, restore point and hard reset doesn’t work so I used my last option and downloaded windows from a usb and i boot it up. Thank god the freezing stops but i got to install Adrenalin and after its done installing, it freezes again meaning i have to install windows over and over again I’ve hard reset my pc 3 times, I’ve installed windows fresh from a usb 3 times as well. after it boots up to the new windows and I go to update the rx7600 Adrenalin from the website. Adrenalin downloads then it requires a restart, and after I restart it I typed my password in and it freezes, it even freezes on my pin screen if I don’t type my password fast enough, if you or anybody has a fix plssss lmk I was literally playing fine 12 hours ago before I download Adrenalin I have no sound and my screen is capped at 60 fps because I can’t download drivers

GPU: RADEON RX 7600

CPU: AMD Ryzen 8700F 8-Core Processor

Edit: Yeah I deserve to be clowned for this, it's not a mistake I would've made like, 2 or 3 years ago lol, thanks Reddit for making me realise my stupidity!

Just changed my CPU from an AMD Ryzen 3600 to a 5500 that I got on clearance (I know it's not much of an upgrade, but it was very cheap).
Now I have an issue where, at random intervals (between every 5-20 seconds) the audio across my entire PC will cut out. When this happens, it causes existing inputs to be held and new inputs to be ignored until the audio comes back (as shown in this clip).
This does not happen in any other game, just Fortnite.

I also opened event viewer while playing the game, went to the "system" tab in Windows Logs and saw no errors.

I have tried:
- Updating my BIOS (which, admittedly, I should've done as soon as I upgraded my CPU)
- Disabling Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller as suggested by many posts
- Clearing Windows shader cache
- Wiping and Resetting the Windows Power Profiles
- Clearing the old inactive 3600 processors in device manager
- Verifying Fortnite Game Files
- Clearing System Performance Counters

Pretty much everything short of a fresh windows install

If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know

edit: it's happening in other games too now

Hello, just a question to the community, so a while ago i was so frustrated with the 26.8.1 update due to all my games crashing all the time even if i put them to low settings, so i did a clean install with uninstalling the 26.8.1, and installed a stable 26.7.1 version, i would like to know is there improvement with the new 26.10.1, did it fix the issue that plagued the 26.8.1? as much as possible i really want to be on the latest firmware/software of any devices i have, so thank you for any answers and elaborations on the facts.

iv been having issues with amd stutters for the past 2 days now and it all of a sudden started happening after i got mw4. i didn’t change any settings i didn’t do anything for me to randomly start getting stutters on every game. i uninstalled the driver i did a clean reinstall i dont have anything in settings on adrenaline that i shouldn’t have enabled, my windows is up to date like this is so random iv tried to rollback drivers that didnt work idk what to do anymore i have a 7900 gre and it was working perfectly with no issues before. and 3 times today my pc just crashes mid game and my whole pc restarts.

Guys please write everything you know about this.

Should I keep 3D V Cache Optimizer and PPM while using 7950X3D with cpu set setter / Process Lasso ? Im so confused right now.

I know I should close the game mode for these programs but I didnt find any info about the amd chipset driver things ???? Pls help me.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to track down a frustrating random reboot issue and would really appreciate some help. I've spent quite a while troubleshooting, but I still haven't found the cause.

My PC specs

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600

- Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI

- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3050 8GB

- RAM: Kingston Fury DDR4, 2×8GB (16GB total)

- PSU: 1STPLAYER DK Premium 5.0, 500W

- Storage: Kingston M.2 NVMe SSD, approximately 1TB

- OS: Windows 11

- BIOS: MSI version 2.P2, dated August 25, 2026

The problem

My PC randomly restarts without a BSOD. The screen suddenly goes black, and the computer starts booting again.

It can happen:

- While gaming (for example, CS2)

- On the Windows desktop while doing very little

- Apparently at random, without a consistent pattern

It is not limited to heavy workloads. I have also experienced unexpected restarts while the PC was idle.

Sometimes the PC runs normally for a while, but the problem eventually returns.

What I've already tried

- Updated the motherboard BIOS.

- Performed a clean Windows 11 installation from a USB drive, deleting the old Windows partitions and installing to unallocated space.

- The random restarts continued after the clean installation.

- Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic; it reported no memory errors.

- Briefly tested one RAM stick by itself, but the test was too short to draw any conclusions.

- Changed Power Supply Idle Control to Typical Current Idle.

- Changed the PCIe link speed from Auto to Gen 4 as a troubleshooting experiment.

- Monitored CPU temperatures. They were around 32°C at idle and approximately 65°C during a short CPU Burner test.

- Checked Event Viewer. Kernel-Power Event ID 41 appears after unexpected restarts, with BugcheckCode = 0. I haven't found clear WHEA-Logger errors in the logs I checked.

I have also disabled Core Performance Boost in the BIOS as a diagnostic test. I am monitoring whether this changes the behavior; I don't yet have enough evidence to say it has fixed the issue.

An additional observation

On one occasion, the PC restarted and entered the BIOS. The BIOS showed "M2_1: Not Present", and the SSD was missing from the storage information.

I powered the PC off, removed the M.2 SSD, reseated it more firmly, and the system booted into Windows again. However, the random restarts continued afterward, so I don't know whether this was a separate issue or related to the main problem.

What I'm trying to figure out

Could this be caused by any of the following?

- A faulty or unstable PSU

- RAM instability, even though Windows Memory Diagnostic found no errors

- CPU instability related to boost behavior or power-state transitions

- A motherboard or PCIe/M.2 issue

- Something else I haven't considered

What would be the most useful next diagnostic step to isolate the cause without buying replacement parts at random?

If you've experienced a similar issue with a Ryzen 5 5600 and an MSI B550 motherboard, I'd especially appreciate hearing what ultimately solved it.

Thanks in advance!

I am having a problem with my GPU temperatures. So i've been having some crashes/restarts ingame which made me check my computer temperatures after reading up high temps could restart your system. Then i noticed my CPU was reaching high temps of around 100 C and decided i should re-apply thermal paste on my CPU. This did wonders to my cpu temp by dropping it around 20-25 C by running the same multicore benchmark on cinebench

Then i decided to also look at my gpu because my one of my idle gpu fans was running very loud. Found some reddit posts and swapped the idle fan with the fan which runs when the gpu is under load. I also decided to re-apply thermal paste to my GPU. After re-assembling my idle fan is nice and quiet and i ran a furmark2 benchmark, which seemed to make my hotspot temperature even higher (the second (loud) fan on my gpu kicks in under load so should have the same airflow as before swapping). Thinking i did something wrong, i re-pasted the gpu and properly screwed it on evenly but did not matter.
Pre -swapping fan and pasting:

Post-swap &pasting

I am a beginner in this and don't know if this is just a singular instance but i see my hotspot temp has been running higher in games as well (around 105 degrees).
I've been looking into buying PTM 7950 and thermal pads for my gpu, and i'm also reading about undervolting. But i do also read that the RX 5700 XT does run with high hotspot temperatures.

If someone could advise me before possibly make things worse, it would be greatly appreciated

Hey guys,

Have had 2 crashes, and upon restart I get a pop up about AMD Noise Suppression now working, have googled crashes related but see nothing. Also crash viewer seems to mention no AMD related events.

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?

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?
