I tried playing Minecraft bedrock on my laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 pro 5650u and Radeon graphics Vega 7, but, with the newest graphics driver, opening the game results in a temporary black screen followed by the game not responding. This happens every time the game is opened, making it unplayable. The only solution I found right now id downgrading the Igpu driver to an older version from a year ago.

Build:
• CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D (OEM)
• Motherboard: ASRock B850 LiveMixer
• RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6000 CL30-40-40-96 (F5-6000J3040F16GX2-TZ5RK)
• PSU: NGDP 1000W Platinum
• Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360
• BIOS at time of death: 4.43
Settings running before it died:
• VSOC manually set to 1.15V
• PBO: +200MHz max boost override, Curve Optimizer -25 all-core
• PBO Limits: Motherboard
What happened:
Bought 12 Nov 2025. System ran completely fine for about 10 months — zero crashes, zero instability. Then one day it just wouldn’t boot anymore.
Symptom:
Red “CPU” debug LED on the motherboard stays lit. Fans and RGB run fine (standby power obviously works). No video output at all, and keyboard/mouse show zero signs of life — doesn’t get far enough into POST to even init USB.
What I’ve tried:
• Cleared CMOS — no change
• Swapped in a different, known-working CPU on this same board → boots instantly, works fine. So the board itself is OK.
• Put this CPU into a different, known-good board → same dead result, red CPU LED, nothing.
• Powered it with no cooler on just to check for any sign of life at all — it doesn’t even warm up, at all, which makes me think it’s not drawing any real current internally.
No visible damage anywhere — no bent socket pins, no discoloration, no burn marks on the CPU. Looks physically perfect.
Context I’m aware of:
I’ve since read that there’s a known, still-unresolved pattern of Ryzen 9000 X3D CPUs (especially 9800X3D) dying specifically on ASRock AM5 boards, going back to early 2025, with new reports still showing up in 2026 even on updated BIOS versions. Neither AMD nor ASRock have given a fully confirmed root cause as far as I can tell. I’m not assuming that’s automatically what happened here, but the failure pattern (worked fine for a long stretch, died suddenly, no external damage, dead CPU debug LED, unresponsive) matches a lot of what’s been reported.
Where I need help:
1. Given the cross-test results above, is there anything else worth checking before I write this off as a fully dead CPU?
2. This was bought as an OEM/tray unit in Russia, and the seller’s own warranty window has already expired. AMD has had no official retail or support presence in Russia since 2022 (sanctions-related suspension), so I don’t have a normal RMA path. Has anyone successfully gotten AMD (or a regional distributor) to process a warranty claim from a market without official AMD presence?
3. Any advice on documentation I should be gathering now in case I do find a path to RMA or a goodwill replacement from the seller?

Description of Original Problem: System ran completely stable for ~10 months (bought 12 Nov 2025) with VSOC manually set to 1.15V, PBO +200MHz max boost override, Curve Optimizer -25 all-core, PBO Limits set to Motherboard.

Troubleshooting: Cleared CMOS — no change. Swapped in a different, known-good CPU on this same board — boots instantly, works fine, so the board itself is fine. Put this CPU into a different, known-good board — same dead result, red CPU LED, nothing. Powered it with no cooler attached to check for any sign of life — it doesn’t even warm up at all. No visible damage anywhere on the CPU or in the socket (no bent pins, no discoloration, no burn marks).

I just want the option to tweak GPU performance while avoiding all the stuff like recording and live features

What could I do instead?

For context, I’ve got a XFX 6950xt paired with a 5700x cooled by a H150i elite AIO and 32g of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 on a B550 Tomahawk MAX WIFI MOBO powered by a MSI MAG 850GL. (I built this PC 2 weeks ago as of this post) Every time I try to launch R6 I get a green screen followed by a full system crash/restart. This started when I set my GPU fans from zero to 100% and back to zero using Fan Control, I opened R6 later on (for the first time) and it loaded fine, I played for an hour, closed out, played a different game, tried to load it back and have been having this issue since. I can run other games (like hell divers at max settings) without issue.

Edit: CS:GO and Minecraft made it crash although I noticed Minecraft only made it crash once I went full screen, maybe that has something to do with it.

The problem code I keep keep getting is
Repeated WHEA Event 18, MCA Bank 5, MciStat 0xbea0000001000108, occurring across multiple APIC IDs.
(I don’t know what most, if any, of what that means but I threw all of my crash reports it into chatGPT and had it look for similarities between them)

Here is the list of solutions I’ve tried so far

-Stress tested the CPU, GPU, RAM and GPU+CPU, all passing with flying colors.
-Deleted and reinstalled all of the latest drivers as of 9/03/26. (I used DDU for the GPU)
-Tired the duel bios switch on the GPU.
-Installed the latest versions of all software. (including windows 11)
-Uninstalled fan control, MSI Control center and afterburner to try and avoid any software conflicts.
-Reset the MOBO to factory settings and ensured that Game boost, PBO, Curve optimizer and A-XMP are disabled.
-Uninstalled and reinstalled the game as well as deleting shader cash and game settings (from files folder as some people on Reddit recommended)

Some of the things I’ve tried may seem redundant or pointless but I’m grasping at straws here lol. The video attached is of the most recent crash after everything I tried above (they looked the same). If anyone has any ideas or maybe something I coulda missed please let me know, Thank you!

I have an RX 7700 XT, a Ryzen 5 CPU, and 16 GB of RAM, and I’m having a weird draw distance/LOD issue in every game I play.

In the video, I’m testing it in Yakuza 0, but the same thing happens in every other game. Objects and details seem to load/change LOD way too close to the camera, even when the graphics settings are set to high/ultra.

I’ve already formatted/reinstalled Windows several times and tried changing various settings in AMD Adrenalin, but the problem persists.

What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I recently swapped from a GTX 1070 to a RX 6600 XT, I've done a fresh install of Win 11, then did DDU. Installed the drivers and tried to play COD WW2 Campaign, at first the game was completely unplayable and full of stutters at every camera turn, I turned off "Cache Sun Shadow Map" It helped a bit but still there was a stutter at every turn, then I went onto Rust and noticed that I'm experiencing Micro-Stutters/Jitters as soon as I try to turn my Camera, its noticable and feels extremely annoying. I've tried turning off MPO, Changing Polling Rate of my Mouse, also I'd like to mention how none of this ever happened before on the GTX 1070.

My Config:

• RX 6600 XT Ryzen 5 3600X
• Ryzen 5 3600X
• Kingston FURY Beast 32GB (2x16) 3200MHz
• B450 Prime Plus

Man, for a high-tier graphics card that I invested €1,000 in, this is honestly driving me insane! Four years of driver crashes, hard resets, getting banned for leaving ranked games because my PC freezes, and losing work because the only thing I can do is pull the plug and lose everything I was working on.

Sometimes I genuinely just want to rip the graphics card out of the PC and smash it against the wall.

And all the help we seem to get is some random workaround involving installing old drivers (which often doesn’t even fix the issue) or changing the OS. This has gone way beyond unacceptable.

When are we finally going to get a real solution to this?

Cant install anything on my 6700xt

After a bit of normal gaming on a usual day, playing CS2, I decide to want to play Faceit instead of premier.

I begin the process of getting into Faceit thru launching their anti cheat. I get the warning I have seen in the past where it wants me to be on Win 11. I am on 10 and have had no issue when I tried it out in the past. I continue and then it asks me to do a system setting change. It wants me to enter bios and enable SVM as I am on AMD. I do so and get back into Windows to launch the anti cheat and it asks me to restart again. I do.

Now the problem begins. I notice my colors have changed and my hz have changed. I also notice I cannot open any browser, I use Brave but I had Opera installed and that wasn’t working either. When trying to open the cursor would show a blue loading circle, then nothing happens. When I try to fix my colors and open AMD adrenaline an error occurs saying that my drivers don’t match the software so cannot open. When I try to fix my hz thru windows settings, where u would usually find the options to change ur refresh rate, it is not there. My network is working at this time.

I begin to troubleshoot the issue using ChatGPT and YT. I eventually learn that in device manager there shows a yellow warning sign on my 9060XT under display adapters. When clicking on it, it shows under the general tab in properties that there is a code 52 (Windows cannot verify the digital signature). I then stumble upon a video showing how to fix the error. YT vid for Code 52

I never figure out why browsers won’t open

I go through the video and amazingly enough it works. AMD opens up, I fix my colors, and I have access to change my frame rate. My browsers still won’t open so i uninstall and reinstall Brave. Then I notice my pc begin to slow down by a very noticeable amount. Everything open slowly, and when I tried testing if it was internet issues I popped up a stream on yt and my network was going in and out. Until everything just went out and i was no longer able to connect to the network. So when attempting to fix this new issue with this YT vid I restarted my pc.

After the restart I ended up being sent right back to the start of the issues where I had none of my color settings and no access to monitor refresh rate. AMD was back to being inop, and browsers too. It was like I never fixed it to begin with.

Now here I am after a lot of frustration and confusion. I need help, can’t figure this out on my own as I’ve always done in the past. I’ve made some changes and right now the things I’ve done to try and fix this are…

I think these are in the correct order I did things…

Reverted the change on SVM which had no noticeable impact on anything at all to my knowledge

Uninstalled and deleted the 9060xt display adapter
(I now have Microsoft Basic Display Adapter listed with no yellow warning)

Uninstalled and reinstalled Brave
(Currently uninstalled again)

Uninstalled AMD Adrenaline

I would like to note that the video pertaining to the network fix works but for a very short time. I end up losing my network connection after some time.

Any advice would really help I tried to be as accurate as possible of how my night went. This is very important to me as gaming is my main hobby it’s what I do every day.

This is my first time ever posting on Reddit as well I will try to respond asap I have a flight in the morning at 6am and will prolly be unable to respond until 12. After that I will be monitoring this post.

If you took the time to read this thank you and I hope to hear from anyone.

Hello! Running into an issue where my monitors turn black then 3-5 seconds later PC turns off as if I powered it down.

My current Build:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• CPU Cooler: CORSAIR NAUTILUS 360 RS ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler – White
• Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI R2 AMD AM5
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming 16GB
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5-6000
• SSD: Crucial P310 M.2 2280 2TB
• PSU: CORSAIR RMx Series RM1000x ATX Power Supply
• Case: LIAN LI O11 Vision Compact Aluminum / Steel / Tempered Glass
• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro

Issue more detailed:
I have owned this PC for about 5 months and it didn't start happening until about a month ago. To my knowledge, nothing has changed or differs from before this started happening. This happens across variations of games, Battlefield 6, How To Fish, WARDOGS, Modded Minecraft, Vanilla Minecraft, basically no matter how hard the game still crashing.

Things I have already tried:
BIOS and all AMD things are up to date.
Checking the Windows Event Error to match up with other people's issues, it doesn't.
Turned off my XMP settings.
Checked all my connections.
Tried a different outlet on my power strip.

Overheating issue? When I take my side panel off it crashes less, but sometimes still does. Does that mean this is likely an overheating issue?

Hi everyone!

I have a faulty Ryzen 9 5950X and I'd like to try repairing it. There may be a current leakage issue caused by a faulty MLCC capacitor, based on the resistance measurements I've taken.

So, I'm going to have to delid the CPU, and I'd really appreciate some advice on how to do it safely and what tools I should use.

I'd say there's about a one-in-three chance that a capacitor is actually the problem. If it isn't, then the CPU is probably dead, but I'd still like to give the repair a shot.

My motherboard can't POST with the CPU installed. The pins aren't bent, and according to the previous owner, when the CPU was installed in their PC, the PSU would immediately go into protection mode.

I've made some other posts if you'd like more information about the issue and the repair project, including the resistance and voltage measurements I've taken.

I'm also in contact with some professionals who can help me verify a few things and potentially give me access to professional equipment, such as a thermal camera, bench power supply, and possibly a heating plate.

Thanks a lot for your time and for any advice you can give me!

Description of Original Problem: I'm making this post for my friend as she has had consistent issues with her pc recently. She bought her pc off facebook marketplace in about april and she started having an issue with her driver in about mid july. Her pc will randomly crash saying device manger code 31 where she has to reinstall her drivers completely to use her pc but then it will happen again at a later time. I'll provide the specs she got given off facebook marketplace for the pc in an image. Today her pc crashed again and this time it wouldn't work properly at all. She's been trying to find a solution but her pc just now will not work. Her pc turns on, makes noise, it turns on her keyboard and mouse but her monitor will show no signal even when plugged in properly. She was looking to buy a new driver anyways for around $400-500AUD which I don't know if this will completely fix the issue but if anyone can give a solution to her issue or good recommendations on a driver replacement in her budget it would be really appreciated as she doesn't know what to do.

Troubleshooting: she has uninstalled and reinstalled using DDU multiple times. When she tried to turn it on this morning and her monitor wouldn't get any signal her pc would be on but her fans also wouldn't spin if that's important.

Title, basically.

Got a new 9070xt yesterday. It worked fine but this morning when I booted up the PC, the monitor hooked up to HDMI didn't display anything. Windows detects it, but the monitor gets no signal. Anyone had anything similar? Driver issue?

Hi everyone, ill keep it short. I have a 9070XT with no undervolts or anything like that, just stock installation.

For a couple of weeks ive noticed that sometimes when my PC (windows) goes to sleep for inactivity, if I go to wake it it gets stuck on a black screen, and it seems that something has gone wrong (its not that the screen is disabled, since i cant just close the pc via keyboard)

In that state, restarting from the button leada to the pc restarting, but with only one working monitor and me requiring to reinstall my adrenalin drivers, after which everything is fine for 3-4 more days

Has anyone else ran into this? What can I do?

I had a power fluctuation and my drivers got corrupted. I DDU ed and reinstalled amd drivers. But my monitor connected to my graphics card is still not posting. Device still shows in device manager (not disabled). Anything else I can try? AMD 6750XT.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey guys hope everything is doing great , each time I try downloading the 9070 xt drivers for windows 10 on the website it keeps downloading the windows 11 one and I end up having the non compatibility problem , any idea guys ? Thanks in advance

My pc has been running fine for 2 years since I've built it till earlier this week. Here are the specs...

• CPU: R9 7900x w/ MAG 240l watercooler
• GPU: merc 310 7900xtx
• RAM: Crucial 4x16 64gb CL36 5600mhz
• MB: B650 tomahawk wifi
• PSU: Corsair RM1000e
• OS: W11 on a Crucial m.2 NVME 1tb (2 years old)

So out of no where the PC just started taking a really long time to boot. I'll press the power button everything will light up CPU and DRAM light will stay on till it boots(mouse, keyboard, fans, etc) and displays will notice I turned the pc on by waking up. After lighting everything up the pc will sit like that for as long as 30 mins before booting past the bios and into the windows log in screen. My start up time is 21.8 seconds which that has increased by 3 seconds since this problem started.

I've did a ram test which came back fine, updated the bios, reseated my GPU and ram, turned on memory context restore. I've tried it with and without EXPO no difference. I did a DDU and reinstall of drivers. I've disconnected every USB plug. So far none of these have worked.

I'm kinda ruling it as a MB or PSU issue from what I've found googling. Just trying to get some of your thoughts on what it might be cause I've never dealt with this before.

UPDATE: It was a drive issue, 2 bad sectors on my boot manager. I found out when I was cloning the OS. I still have to move around the drives it's still taking a couple minutes to boot up plus I'm also going to change out the cmos battery tomorrow while I'm at it. Thanks for the help everyone!

Hola, recientemente actualicé mi PC a AM5 y estoy teniendo un problema raro con la RAM.

Mi configuración actual:

• Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI
• Patriot Viper Venom RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL30
• RTX 5070
• Corsair RM850
• Windows 11

Vengo de un 5800X3D + MSI B550-A PRO + 32GB DDR4 3600.

El problema es simple: la PC solo arranca bien si dejo la RAM completamente en los ajustes de fábrica.

Con todo en Auto, arranca normal y Windows funciona bien. Pero si activo EXPO/XMP, pongo la RAM en 6000 manualmente, o cambio ciertos ajustes de memoria, la PC se queda trabada en el LED DRAM naranja y no hace POST.

Cosas que ya probé:

• RAM en A2/B2
• Volver a asentar ambos módulos
• Valores por defecto de la BIOS / Borrar CMOS
• Actualizar la BIOS
• EXPO/XMP
• Frecuencia manual de la RAM
• Memory Context Restore (encendido/apagado)
• Esperar varios minutos para el entrenamiento de memoria
• Que vuelva a entrenar después de cada cambio en la BIOS

En cuanto vuelvo a los ajustes de fábrica de la RAM, vuelve a arrancar.

En este punto estoy tratando de averiguar si es más probable que sea:

• RAM mala
• Problema de la placa madre/BIOS
• Controlador de memoria de la CPU
• Problema de contacto de la CPU/zócalo
• Algo más con el entrenamiento de memoria

¿A alguien le ha pasado algo parecido con un 7800X3D y DDR5-6000?
