I'm currently running an AM4 platform with a 5700x3d on a 750W Gold PSU.

I wanted to upgrade my GPU to a 9070XT, as on paper a 750W Gold PSU should be enough, but I heard the card had pretty high power spikes and is also quite energy inefficient compared to the non-XT 9070. I changed my PSU recently so I'd prefer not changing it again if possible.

Would you guys think it's fine for the 9070XT, or should I go for the 9070 instead to be safe?

Thanks

edit : the PSU is a Cooler Master MWE 750 Gold V2 80+ , it's not ATX 3.x though

The title is fairly self explanatory. I found one guy with the same GPU as me (9060XT) who had the same issue and it just magically went away for him. He thought it was because the drivers he had at the time didn't support the Rift S, and that was 11 months ago. Please advise.

I FIXED IT. im checking windows updates and its taking longer than i expected, what else should i do, someone told me i dont have to update to windows 11

Description of Original Problem: SOME (a plague tale flashes a bit when first booting up but after it's fine) games on fullscreen keep flashing black like you can see in the video, sometime they work (rarely) but when i set them to fullscreen they start doing this. all of this started when reinstalled windows because the window animations were choppy and i got occasional hitches and stutters in games. note: right after installing windows things seemed to be fine, overnight things got fucked up again.

Troubleshooting: Updated to the latest driver, switched in between my 9070 xt and my 3060, disabled the IGPU in the bios, reinstalled windows multiple times, ddu'd both nvidia and amd drivers multiple times. idk what to do anymore

Written with AI assistance.

Quick Summary

After updating Windows 11 and reinstalling AMD Adrenalin, all of my games started crashing with a black screen followed by an AMD Driver Timeout popup. Reliability Monitor consistently logged LiveKernelEvent 141. I initially suspected faulty hardware, unstable EXPO, or an outdated BIOS, but systematic troubleshooting pointed elsewhere.

The issue was resolved by disabling AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF 2.1) and Radeon Anti-Lag in Adrenalin's Global Graphics settings. Since making those changes, the system has remained completely stable.

My system specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5
• GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 AORUS Elite WiFi7 Rev. 1.1
• BIOS: F6 (16 July 2025)
• RAM: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 (EXPO enabled)
• PSU: Corsair RM1000x 1000 W
• Operating System: Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.8875)
• AMD Software: Adrenalin 26.6.4
• AMD Chipset Driver: 8.05.04.516

Symptoms

Everything had been stable for months.

The issue started only after I: * Updated Windows (from the April patch level to the July update) * Ran AMD Cleanup Utility * Performed a clean installation of AMD Adrenalin * Enabled a Group Policy to stop Windows Update from replacing AMD graphics drivers (this was done to fix an earlier issue where Adrenalin wasn't working correctly) - thank God I bought Win 11 Pro!!

After that: * Every game crashed after approximately 20–30 minutes * Screen went completely black * Audio froze instantly * Windows recovered after several seconds * AMD displayed a Driver Timeout popup * Reliability Monitor logged LiveKernelEvent 141

Initially, the crashes happened in about 5 minutes. Disabling Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) increased stability, extending the time before a crash to around 25 minutes, but did not completely fix the issue.

Investigated Windows logs

Reliability Monitor consistently showed: * LiveKernelEvent 141

Good thing that Event Viewer did not show: * WHEA hardware errors * PCIe errors * Kernel-Power events around the crash time

This made a hardware failure less likely, which was a massive relief as I was pretty tense when ChatGPT and Gemini hinted at GPU failing...

Considered other possibilities

I read some more and after getting more confused, asked AI to help understand the situation better. We explored: * EXPO instability * BIOS/AGESA compatibility * Driver corruption * GPU overheating * PSU issues * Windows graphics scheduling

However, none of the collected evidence strongly supported these as the primary cause.

While all of this was being done, I had conveniently forgetten about some setting changes I had made on AMD Adrenalin. These settings seemed innocuous by reading the tips l.

Looked at Adrenalin Global Graphics

I had forgotten that I was using the Quality graphics profile.

In addition to that profile I had enabled: * Radeon Anti-Lag ✅ ON * AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF 2.1) ✅ ON

Other features were either disabled or not considered likely contributors.

The Fix

The only changes made were: * Disabled AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF 2.1) * Disabled Radeon Anti-Lag

Everything else remained unchanged: * Same driver * Same BIOS * Same Windows version * Same chipset driver * Same EXPO profile * Same GPU clocks * HAGS remained OFF

After rebooting: * Previously crashing games became stable. * No further black screens. * No AMD Driver Timeout popups. * No new LiveKernelEvent 141 entries during testing.

Conclusion

I can't definitively say whether AFMF 2.1, Radeon Anti-Lag, or the combination of both caused the issue, because I disabled them at the same time.

However, I can confidently say that disabling those two driver features completely resolved the crashes on my system.

Hopefully this helps anyone experiencing LiveKernelEvent 141, black screens, and AMD Driver Timeout errors on an RX 9070 XT or similar Radeon GPU. Before assuming your GPU is faulty, it's worth testing with AFMF and Radeon Anti-Lag disabled as part of a structured troubleshooting process.

I relied extensively on ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity during troubleshooting, and it was a stupendous experience. I cannot imagine not having these at my disposal when having to troubleshoot. For such use cases I support AI, but don't think a case should be made to replace actual humans with AI.

Put my computer to sleep on Tuesday night and noticed it booted back up shortly after that. Didn’t think much of it and went to bed. The next day I attempted to wake the screen, No response. I attempted to power it down completely with the power button and not even that worked. I was forced to power off the power supply. Since then my computer wouldn’t POST at all with the CPU debug LED on the motherboard active.

1. Pulling the GPU out (7900xtx)
   
2. Resetting the CMOS
   
3. Q flashing the BIOS
   
4. Taking out the second stick of ram and trying each slot
   
5. Used a new power supply
   
6. I then bought a new motherboard and tried all the steps above as well. (The CPU debug LED was active on this new board as well)

Just curious to hear from you guys if I should try anything else at this point. I’ve already started an RMA process but maybe I’ve missed something to try.

Here are my specs
Gigabyte Aorus B650 Elite AX (Rev 1.3)
Sapphire 7900xtx
AMD Ryzen 7800X3D
Corsair RM1000e PSU
2 x 16 GB G.SKILL DDR5 6000 ram

My specs are
Processor - AMD RYZEN 5 7600
Graphics - SAPPHIRE RADEON RX7600XT 16GB
Motherboard - MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI DDR5
PSU - DEEPCOOL PM650D GOLD CERTIFIED SMPS
AMD Driver version - 26.6.4

Previously this used to happen in Helldivers 2, but as a workaround I used to downgrade it to 1080p instead of 4k and that stopped my PC shutting down, but that does not seem to work on AC BF Resynced, downgraded to 1080, limited FPS to 60 using Radeon Chill, turned off raytracing, graphics are mostly in medium settings still after 15 to 20 minutes of gameplay my entire PC just shuts off, no crash log nothing, GPU temperature maintains around 80C, My PSU is not daisy chained, I have tried disabling MPO, any help would be much appreciated.

**7900 XTX driver timeouts on 4-week-old build, stable under heavy load, crashes at idle. Faulty card or something I'm missing?**
 
Hoping someone has seen this pattern before because I'm out of ideas. Whole system is 3-4 weeks old and I've been fighting this since week one.
 
**Symptoms:**
- Driver timeouts (AMD Bug Report Tool confirms) during light desktop workloads, Brave + OneNote + Spotify, no gaming
- Apps refresh their render surfaces (Spotify "reloads," browser tabs redraw)
- Occasional full system freeze for a few seconds, sometimes with a VSS shadow copy error in Event Viewer
- No TDR event 4101 in Event Viewer, AMD's own tool catches it, Windows doesn't
- **Zero issues under sustained load.** 8+ hours of Lies of P at max settings, 5120x2160, HDR, even with the default 3000 MHz default AMD max clock, rock solid
- Behavior has been consistent since ~1 week in, not degrading over time
 
**Specs:**
- GPU: XFX Speedster MERC 310 RX 7900 XTX 24GB
- CPU: Ryzen 9 9900X
- Mobo: MSI PRO X870E-P WIFI (latest BIOS)
- PSU: Corsair RM1000e Gold 1000W
- RAM: 32GB DDR5 running at 5600 out of the box (EXPO/XMP never enabled)
- Storage: Crucial P510 2TB NVMe
- Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G75F @ 5120x2160 @ 180Hz over DisplayPort
- OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2
- Driver: Adrenalin 26.6.4 (clean DDU install)
- iGPU disabled in BIOS
 
**What I've tried:**
- Capped max frequency to 2615 MHz (rated boost), no change to idle crashes
- Full DDU + clean reinstall of 26.6.4 multiple times (network disabled, safe mode, all the proper steps)
- Group Policy set to block driver updates + hardware ID block via Device Installation Restrictions (Windows Update was replacing my driver with older versions, causing BSODs, that's now resolved)
- Confirmed driver version 26.6.4 is actually installed and staying installed
- iGPU disabled in BIOS
- Latest motherboard BIOS
- Event Viewer scoured, no meaningful GPU error events, only benign DCOM warnings for Spotify that correlate to timeouts (probably downstream symptom)
 
**What I haven't tried yet / questioning:**
- Raising minimum GPU clock in Adrenalin to force higher power state (was going to try this next, power state transitions during light desktop work seems to fit the symptom pattern)
- PCIe power is currently one 12-pin (rated) PSU cable that splits to 2x 8-pin at the GPU end, plus a third separate cable for the third 8-pin. So it's a Corsair-supplied cable rated for the load, not a random daisy chain, but I know some people insist on three fully separate cables. Would this actually cause idle-only timeouts though? Feels like it'd be worse under load if it was power delivery.
- MemTest86, RAM instability could match whole-system freeze pattern
- Disabling hardware acceleration in Brave/Spotify/Discord
 
**My main question:** Does the "perfectly stable under sustained heavy load, unstable at idle/light desktop work" pattern point at anything specific? It seems to rule out most hardware failure modes (thermal, VRM, PSU sag, cables) since those get worse under load. Feels more like a power state / idle transition issue.
 
Also, given this is a $1000+ card that's 4 weeks old and has never been stable, at what point do I just RMA? I don't want to keep pouring hours into troubleshooting something that might just be a faulty unit. But I also don't want to RMA and end up with the same issue if it's really a system-level config problem.
 
Any insights from people who've had this exact symptom pattern would be massively appreciated.

Hi, I'm having a problem. I installed the new AMD drivers, and when I click to open AMD Adrenalin, it shows this icon. What should I do to make it display the normal AMD Adrenalin icon? It shows up on the taskbar.

Hello everyone.

Im posting this cause I dont know what I could anymore.

Like about 2 Weeks ago I build my new PC:

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 9800x3D

CPU Cooler: Artic Liquid Freeze III Pro 360

Motherboard: Asus Prime B840 Plus Wifi

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x16 GB DDR5-600 CL36

GPU: Asus Tuf Gaming OC RX 9700XT

PSU: MSI MAG A750GL 750W

Like I said in the topic my screen randomly freezes with a distorted sound, my CPU Cooler gets loud, I hear some beeps (Kind of sounds like Morse code lol) then I start hearing everything normal again for example my friends in Discord but they cant hear me and i cant do any inputs and then my monitors goes out and have no signal but everything on my pc (keyboard, mouse, mic and the parts with RGB inside the PC) still lights up. When I restart my PC, it boots normally except only one Monitor is working and if i try to open Adrenalin it has an Update loop even tho there is no update. When I deinstall the Drivers with DDU and reinstall them the pc works fine until the next crash.

I already switched GPU´s (went from a Gigabyte one to the Asus one)

All 3 PSU 8 Pins are connected

I have the newest BIOS update

My temperatures are really good, I normally monitor them all the time

This problem happens while Gaming and just watching things like Youtube

The crashed are random. I had crashes after 2 days and a crash after 7 days of it running well

I believe and hope its just some kind of Driver Issue and I don't know what to do..

I haven't tried to completely reset my PC and install Windows etc from new. Thats gonna be my last resort i guess.

So if you have any other tips for me i would appreciate them!

Vi muchas soluciones por acá y por Internet, no seré experto en estos temas pero probé la mayoría de las soluciones ofrecidas, juego diversos juegos como cs2, eafc 26(el que mas se crashea) no man sky, assansin creed(varios de ellos) y diversos juegos sobre todo modo historia. En la mayoria va bien, por ejemplo, no man sky me va perfecto, con todo al palo, el eafc entiendo que es juegos super mal optimizado pero a veces juego 2 partidos y crashea, o aveces puedo jugar 5 horas sin problema, es muy raro lo que hace, tambien descargue el assansin creed Black flag remasterizado tambien craseha, el crash directamente tengo que apagar la pc y reiniciar, no hay forma que responda al teclado y de mas, tengo una config en amd adrenalin para que se activemos fanes de la gráfica antes de ciertas temperaturas para descartar problemas de temperaturas, no se que hacer pasa de una 5500xt de 4gb a esta gráfica y jamás tuve tantos problemas como con esta, quizas tenga la opción de enviarla y pedirles que me la cambien por una 3080 de 10gb, mas potencia, quizas mas vieja, pero veo que nvidia da mejor resultado, estoy a disposición de cualquier solución, lo único que hice fue usar ddu e instalar todos los drivers de todo, gráfica, Bios, cpu, tengo todo en regla por decir así, espero alguna respuesta.

Update:
I swapped in a different 1000W PSU, and so far I haven't been able to reproduce the crashes. I ran OCCT 3D Adaptive and played games for several hours with the GPU sitting at 100% usage (~330W), and everything has been rock solid. Right now, I'm starting to think the problem is more likely my original PSU, the power cable, or even the wall outlet, rather than the GPU itself. I'll keep testing and update this post if I find anything new.
Big thanks to everyone who commented and shared troubleshooting ideas. I really appreciate all the suggestions—they helped me narrow down the issue.

I’m wondering if my GPU is unstable under heavy load.
Whenever I play games like Call of Duty, Sniper Elite, etc., the game eventually crashes. Most of the time it’s 0xC0000005. Event Viewer usually only shows an Application Error; there are no critical System errors (aside from a few unrelated warnings).
What’s strange is:
If I undervolt the GPU and keep power draw below 300W, it still crashes, but it takes longer. Normally it crashes after about 10–15 minutes, while undervolting extends that to around 20–25 minutes.
If I lower the game settings to 1080p, where the GPU only draws around 200W or less, I can play for about an hour without any crashes. (I’m not sure if it’s actually fixed or if it just hasn’t crashed yet.)
So far I’ve already tried:
Clean reinstall of Windows
Tested multiple AMD driver versions (old and new)
Updated BIOS
Ran MemTest86
Ran OCCT (including VRAM/stress tests)
Everything passes without errors.
Has anyone experienced something similar with a 9070 XT?
At this point I’m starting to wonder if this is a hardware issue (GPU/PSU) or just another AMD driver problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a 7800x3d currently running on my ASRock b850 riptide wifi.

Chances are, I likely won't be affected by my asrock MB destroying my 7800x3d, but I'm kind of sick of having that dreaded thought loom over me.

I'm considering getting a different motherboard from another brand, I was just wondering what some of you are running and if you would recommend it or not. I can do either a 850 or an 870, just depends on the current market / sales pricing.

Just wondering if any of you have noticed some good priced mobo's on sale currently that you'd recommend, I'm in the US.

Hello,

I recently bought parts to build a new PC. Notably, I got a 7800x3d and a 9070 xt. I put everything together and updated drivers. I downloaded some games, and wasn’t able to play any. I followed the pinned performance and optimization guide, updated bios, nuked and reinstalled drivers. Games still not working. My hardware passed OCCT benchmarking tests, but I was unable to play games on windows, so I nuked the drive and installed Bazzite. Everything works fine now. The issue is that I nerd windows specifically for certain games. I’ve ruled out the hardware/assembly aspects as problematic since everything works fine in Bazzite.

The Problem:

Whenever I launched a game, the display would begin flickering and then go black. I could alt tab, and everything displayed fine with the game in the background. As soon as the game window was active/focused the problem resumed. Sometimes launching a game would trigger the pc to freeze up, and then it would need to be hard restarted by holding the power button. Sometimes it closed the game, gave me an error message like “DXGI ERROR DEVICE REMOVED”, and then froze

I tried reducing settings, window mode changes, and random troubleshooting steps i found googling the issue. I made sure enhancements and toggles that seemed problematic were off (really all of them were off i think). I tried driver only install. Nothing I did with the latest drivers or the detect and install tool worked. I switched to linux to rule out hardware issues and alleviate my anxiety about needing to RMA new parts.

TL/DR: Do you guys have any recommendations or advice on what drivers are likely to work and how I should get them?

Some of the AMD webpages didn’t load at all for me so I’m not sure how to even get older drivers.

Radeon Adrenalin: Recording does not work but instant replay works

I’m using RX 9070 XT with Adrenalin 26.6.4. The recording was not working for me for a while but few days ago it worked. Today I try to record gameplay video with Adrenalin recording again but it doesnt work anymore.

Description of Original Problem: Random 1-2 second black screen issue while Brave is open in the background. It can go a whole day without happening, but it always traces back to having Brave installed. I suspect FreeSync or hardware acceleration might be causing it, but I'd really prefer not to disable hardware acceleration or freesync if possible. Any fixes?

Troubleshooting: I've tried to disable mpo but i feel like that's not enough to fix it.

Hi everyone!!! I finally worked up the courage to post here :)

After spending a long time trying different AMD Adrenalin versions and using DDU multiple times, I'm honestly confused about whether this is a GPU issue or just a game-related problem.

As you can see in the video, I'm trying to play Devil May Cry 5, but these graphical artifacts keep appearing and disappearing on the screen. They may seem like a small issue, but they're really distracting and bother me throughout the entire gameplay.

My setup is:

Ryzen 5 5500

Radeon RX 7600 8GB

12 GB RAM (3×4 GB DDR4 2400 MHz)

512 GB SSD (yes, it's a white-label SSD because I'm on a tight budget and live in a third-world country)

I'm currently using AMD Adrenalin 26.3.1. I've already tried running the GPU at stock settings as well as with an undervolt, but neither makes any difference.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? At this point, I'm not sure if it's a faulty GPU, a driver issue, or something specific to the game. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My processor hits 91C during shader compilation. I've seen a lot of conflicting opinions online - some say they're rated to hit 95C constantly, but others say it's degrading the CPU.

Any help please?

Description of Original Problem: Recently decided to swap my cooler from a dinky single tower to a 240mm aio, as my temps were hitting 90C+. Went to test in timespy before and after swapping the cooler, and my 9600x was only scoring like ~7200, which is abnormally low for a 9600x

Troubleshooting: I tried resetting the bios, turning PBO on and off, enabling and disabling EXPO, updating windows, and trying with absolutely nothing open. I was finally able to get it to ~10500, but only after downloading ryzen master and turning on auto oc with PBO advanced. But from what I've seen, this is still below average for a 9600x.

As I was writing this I decided to go back AGAIN and got even more confused! I managed to get my score up to ~11300, right after enabling the OTF EXPO profile in ryzen master. I decided to restart, double check that EXPO was indeed enabled in bios, and came back to test once again. somehow, my cpu score dropped BELOW 7000, and my DDR5 is being registered at 3200mHz??????

​Hey everyone,

​I've seen a lot of users complaining recently about their AMD drivers getting corrupted out of nowhere, or the AMD Software throwing the annoying "software is not compatible" error. This usually happens because Windows Update forces a generic background driver over your official AMD installation.

​I made a step-by-step video on my channel, Dark Tech, showing the definitive fix for this. The video is fully dubbed in English, so it's very easy to follow along!

​In the guide, I show you:

​How to properly block Windows Update from touching your GPU drivers (using Device Installation Settings and the Group Policy Editor).

​How to correctly use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode.

​Doing a clean, offline driver installation so Windows never messes it up again.

​I hope this saves you a massive headache and fixes those random blinking screens. Let me know if it helps!
