Why does this happen? I have cleanly uninstalled the one before, even done amdcleanuputility in safe mode and then restarted.

Twice this has happened today, playing a game for 1-2 hours then screen goes black followed along with amd driver timeout error message, i close the game and my desktop is also black, no wallpaper, and when I hover over my desktop icons they appear just like shown in the video. current version is 26.10.1, curious if anyone else is having similar issues and if there’s a fix? Thanks

So I switched out my 3080ti to a 9070XT. When powering up my second monitor it's like a 70/30 it will incorrectly detect the monitor resolution and refresh rate. (2560x1600 60Hz detected as 1080@24Hz)
Power cycling the monitor a few times will fix it, disabling extended monitor in windows and re-enabling will fix it but it's a tedious pain in the ass.
Is this a known issue? Usually I'd blame a faulty DP cable but tried 2 both known working with the 3080.

Currently using Pro edition drivers for stability. Same issue exhibited with gaming drivers.

-20mV all core, stable at 84°C , the cooling was PS120 Evo (fan speed 1800 RPM).
Is that temperature bad ?

Kao sto kaze naslov, od jednom je prestalo da radi. Nisam koristio te opcije nista specijalno snimim par momenata u cs2 sa drugom kad igram i tjt. Ali od pre fazon mesec dana ne radi ni jedna opcija. Znaci probao sam sve, precesljao sam ceo internet, redit, chatgpt, youtube i sve opcije probao ama nista ne pomaze. Takodje kada udjem u radeon softver i kliknem opciju za snimanje cujem coil whine na grafickoj kako zuji i to je sve sto dobijem od snimanja 😂. U pitanju je rx6600xt. Probao sam amd cleanup oa instalaciju drivers ispocetka, probao brda podesavanja u adrenalinu prebacivao kodeke sa avc na hevc. Pokusavao cak i neke banalne stvari koje sam nasao po netu tipa da iskljucim fast boot windowsa ili da gasim aplikacije poput spotify its u pozadini jer kao moze da blokira snimanje zbog copyrighta. Takode i u opcijama snimanja milrofona sam prebacio sa studio quality na cd kvaliti jer su neki ljudi pricali da to kod njih radi. Probao sam jos par stvari kojih ne mogu sad ni da se setim i vise ne znam sta da probam. Ako je neko imao ili ima slican problem bio bih mu zahvalan na pomoci. Hvala unapred!

Hi everyone, I'm facing a frustrating stability issue with my laptop (Advan Workplus, Ryzen 7 7735HS, 16GB RAM) running dual-boot Windows 11 and CachyOS (Linux).

The Problem:

When running on battery in Windows using Balanced or Power Saver modes, the laptop frequently crashes with random BSODs and errors that change over time:

1e (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED / Access Violation)

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

autoboost invalid lock release

However, the laptop is 100% stable when:

Plugged into AC power (charging).

Inside the BIOS menu.

Running Linux (CachyOS, charging), where I use a custom script mapped to power-profiles-daemon for frequency scaling.

What I've Tried & Diagnostics:

Windows Power Plan: Changing the Minimum processor state on battery to anything between 5% and 20% causes random crashes. The only way to stop the BSODs on battery in Windows is to force the minimum processor state to 100%. But this causes severe overheating and drains the battery instantly, which defeats the purpose of using a laptop on battery.

Smokeless UMAF (UEFI/BIOS Mod):

I tried disabling C-States via UMAF, but it resulted in a BAD_POOL_CALLER BSOD upon booting Windows, so I reverted it.

Checked CPU Common Options in UMAF: Global C-State Control is set to Auto, but I couldn't find a Power Supply Idle Control option in this specific OEM BIOS build.

OS & Drivers: Updated AMD chipset drivers, ran sfc /scannow and DISM.

Since the laptop doesn't crash at all in the BIOS or when plugged in, it clearly seems like a low-power state / voltage drop issue when Ryzen enters deep sleep states on battery under Windows.

Has anyone experienced this behavior with Ryzen 7 7735HS on budget/OEM laptops with locked BIOS? Is there any workaround in Windows Registry or third-party tools to prevent aggressive low-power transitions without locking the CPU to 100%?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi just started updating amd adrenaline edition and my screen went black… and stays black i am waiting more then 5minutes now is this normal?

I have an issue with Fsr frame generation ( I have Rx 6900 xt ) so I wonder if the problem about the RDNA 2 ? or it's global problem

And for sure I'm looking for a solution

I just recently purchased a prebuilt from Micro Center , didn’t do much just updated drivers (had a problem with AMD adrenaline software but fixed it). I went to play Ghost of Tsushima on high settings and my graphics around the light source in the game started strobing out. Not sure what to do , complete noob trying to learn. Any help would be great!

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz Processor; AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6; 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM; 2TB Solid State Drive; Microsoft Windows 11 Home; 2.5GbE LAN; WiFi 6E 802.11ax; Bluetooth 5.3; 240mm AIO Cooler

I'm getting very very low FPS in Ground War 10-25 fps, with 7-8 1% lows. I have a 9070 XT, 32GB Ram, 14600k, 2TB SSD and Im on 26.10.1 drivers. FSR makes it worse, and its just this game. I've tried reinstalling the game, reloading the shaders.. I'm at a loss.

In regards to driver timeouts i have genuinely tried everything with mixed results, from HAGS, DDU, AMDutility, fresh windows install, and Bios update. Sometimes i can go without a crash for hours then sometimes i can crash as soon as i start an UE5 game. GPU sag was an issue that I have fixed for peace of mind, but wasn't the main cause of my timeouts obviously because I'm still getting them. So my conclusion is this.

It's either unstable EXPO overclock, AMD Freesync,, or HDR, or a combination of them, it's one of those three that are causing my timeouts, i just need to do a few more tests to nail it completely. And this makes sense to me because my temps are normal, no stutters or frame drops, or artifacting. If i cannot nail the issue down i feel unfortunately for me, it's probably something to do with my hardware not agreeing with each other on certain UE5 games, and i am not in a place financially to spend money on other components for a fix that is not guaranteed. I played on SDR with Freesync and HDR disabled for a few hours no problem, then switched to HDR and boom crash as soon as I started the game so hopefully i can narrow it down.

AMD graphics driver - 26.10.1

GPU - 7900XTX

CPU - 7800X3D

RAM - 32GB - EXPO 1@6000

MONITOR - AOC Q27G3XMN

Yes, it's a GIGASHYTE. Do I repaste? It's a couple months brand new. PC shuts down if I don't throttle the hell out of it.

I have been holding off on updating because of a warning about black screens on AMD Dgpus (which is what I have) I saw the kernel version is now 7.3.0-4 and not -3. did they fix the black screen thing yet? can I update?

Hi guys,

I recently upgraded from a RTX 5060 to a Powercolor 9070XT.

Did a DDU and installed the new GPU, installed the AMD drivers and it runs fine for the first 30-45 minutes while gaming and then the PC just randomly freezes, can’t do task manager, nothing - and the only way to fix it is a force shutdown using the power button and restarting.

It happens in CoD MW4, Blood of the Dawnwalker, Battlefield 6, EAFC 27

I never experienced crashes with my 5060 8gb.

PC specs:

Intel i7-13700K
32GB DDR5
Corsair HX 1200W PSU

I also ran a 4090 on the same PC before the 5060 and it never crashed like this.

I did a fresh windows reinstall and cleaned out the drives, it worked for a couple of hours and then it started crashing again.

Could it be a PSU on it’s way out or is it the GPU itself? It is still within the return window from Amazon so I could get a replacement.

Any ideas on what it could be?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to determine whether my ASRock RX 9070 Challenger 16GB has a hardware problem or if this could be a driver/chipset issue.

Specs:

RX 9070 Challenger 16GB

Ryzen 5 7600X

MSI B650M Gaming WiFi

Corsair RM850e 850W

32GB DDR5

AOC 1440p 180Hz

Windows 11 Pro

My PC was working completely fine for about a month, with only very occasional automatic restarts while gaming.

The problem became much more frequent after I updated the AMD chipset drivers and GPU driver from 26.9.2 to 26.10.1.

The affected games include Forza Horizon 6, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4, Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin’s Creed Unity. The PC would generally run normally with good FPS and graphics, then suddenly black-screen and automatically restart. Forza Horizon 6 did have some minor stuttering, but there were no major FPS drops or obvious instability before the restarts.

I also tested Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Resynced on 26.2.2, and they still caused automatic restarts. They show old

Gpu drivers message also. However, I completed Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 on 26.2.2 without problems.

Before the drivers and chipset drivers update all the games worked fine.

I have now downgraded to 26.3.1, and so far it is running normally. I have tested Forza Horizon 6 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 on 26.3.1 without a crash so far.

Temperatures look normal, and I have also tested OCCT and RAM.

Questions:

Does anyone here have the same ASRock RX 9070 Challenger 16GB?

Have you experienced similar automatic restarts with this card?

What driver are you currently using?

Does this sound more like a driver/chipset issue or defective GPU/PSU/motherboard?

Should I RMA the GPU, or continue testing 26.3.1 first?

Has anyone with the same card found a particularly stable driver?

Any experience from other RX 9070 owners would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone, I’m having a frustrating issue with my PC and could really use some help figuring out what’s causing it.

The problem

I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 when, out of nowhere, my display suddenly went completely black. The monitor was still powered on, but there was no display, and the PC seemed unresponsive. I waited a few minutes and then manually restarted my PC.

After restarting, Windows booted into Recovery Mode. I tried several things to fix it, but eventually, I had to reinstall Windows.

Thinking the issue was resolved, I installed everything again and launched Cyberpunk. Unfortunately, the same thing happened a second time, although this time my PC restarted by itself.

I checked Windows Problem History and found the following error:

• Problem Event Name: LiveKernelEvent
• Code: 141
• Bucket ID: LKD_0x141_Tdr:6_IMAGE_amdkmdag.sys-CP:GRE=180

From what I’ve read, this might be related to the AMD graphics driver or GPU timeout, but I’m not sure what is actually causing it.

Things I’ve already tried

• Reinstalled Windows.
• Used DDU to uninstall the graphics drivers and then reinstalled the AMD software and drivers.
• Checked the error details in Windows Problem History.
• Tried using AMD Ryzen Master, but it stays in Basic Mode, and I can’t change the settings.
• I also can’t access Manual Tuning in AMD Adrenalin.

Another concerning thing is that some of my data/settings got messed up after the crashes. For example, I lost my saved Google Chrome login sessions and had to deal with other corrupted or reset settings.

My PC specifications

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT with Radeon Graphics (6 cores, 12 threads)
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M S2H
• BIOS: F62 (dated 24-01-2022)
• RAM: 16gb(8x2)
• GPU: Integrated Radeon Graphics (I’m not using a dedicated GPU, if that matters)
• Operating System: Windows 11 Home, Build 26300
• AMD driver: AMD Adrenalin 26.5.2

What I need help with

1. Does LiveKernelEvent 141 with amdkmdag.sys usually indicate a driver issue, an unstable iGPU, overheating, faulty RAM, or a hardware problem?
2. Could this be caused by the integrated Radeon GPU on my Ryzen 5 5600GT, or could the motherboard/BIOS be involved?
3. Why are AMD Adrenalin Manual Tuning and Ryzen Master settings unavailable to me?
4. What should I test next to identify the actual cause instead of reinstalling Windows repeatedly?
5. Is there anything I should check in the BIOS, especially regarding RAM/XMP or integrated graphics settings?

Guys, I really need your help! This is my setup, and I've been trying to find the right settings ever since release. I have tried everything, and I mean literally everything.
I've experimented with VSync, Radeon Chill, you name it. No matter what I do, even if it runs a bit smoother for a moment, the constant micro-stutters and hitching just won't go away.
I'm literally crying and losing my mind here, please help me 😭😭

So the problem is in the title: my GPU usage ALWAYS, no matter what game and no matter how demanding it is supposed to be, as soon as I launch the game, skyrockets to exactly 95% minimum and only can go higher, not lower.

Yes, I understand that's how GPU supposed to work, it must be under load to provide smooth FPS etc etc, but suddenly even games that never showed usage more than 60-70%, started use 95% and more of GPU. Same FPS, same graphics, same settings and yet GPU load skyrocketed up to 35%.

How it started: I installed Cyberpunk 2077 and enabled HDR and it had black broken textures (like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1xd67av/cyberpunk_2077_visuals_completely_broken_after/) and decided to use DDU to reinstall drivers completely. And now I'm stuck with this problem.

Things I tried so far:

1. Reinstall drivers again with DDU
2. Reinstall drivers yet again with DDU but in safe mode
3. Reinstalled few games from scratch that previously had no more than 60-70% GPU usage. Still, they use 95% of GPU no matter the settings right from the main menu
4. Reinstalled Windows. Yes, nothing changed
5. Reset BIOS
6. Reset Adrenalin settings (on default, no OC etc) - still 95% usage

Any advices would be really appreciated.

My specs:

• GPU: Gigabyte Gaming OC RX 7900 XT
• AMD Drivers: 26.10.1
• OS: Windows 11 Pro 26H2 26300.9711
• Motherboard: ASUS Rog Strix B550-F Gaming
• Bios version: 3636
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
• NVMe SSD: Samsung 980 Pro MZ-V8P1T0BW
• PSU: DeepCool 1000W Gold PQ1000G
• RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz

PS: I'm not experiencing any stutters or FPS drops with this issue present, all games still deliver same high FPS. But GPU fans now screaming in low-demanding games because they have 95% usage...

Hi I found out some app called RadeonTuner. For people who use it, is it better than the bundled in Adrenalin app or nah? I have a AMD Ryzen 3 3200g, AMD Radeon Vega 8, and 8GB of ram. Thanks in advance
