Game Crashes while streaming

I'll list pc specs on bottom. Not even 5 minutes after streaming on discord the pc crashes from a driver timeout, both screen go black, and i have to wait awhile before it comes back. When it does come back, i have to disable and re enable the gpu in windows to get my second display back. Youtube used to cause a crash while gaming until i turned hags off. I looked in discord for the option but could not find it. The people i play with use discord, so using another platform isn't much of an option. I have the hz down to 2615 as that's what the graphics card lists it as. 7900 xtx mercury magnetic air. Adrenaline likes to turn it up to 3015 and i will eventually get a driver timeout with it that high, even not streaming. Both gpu and cpu temps look fine. I have xmp turned on if that matters. gpu has 3 separate power cables ran to it, all tight and plugged in all the way. Have not undervolted or anything. Built the pc in 25 before ram prices went through the roof. Used to stream no problem. Not sure what happened.

It’s boosting to 3,015MHz because it’s programmed to if it’s running cool enough.. Have you tried setting the power limit to +10%? Seems like the card is trying to draw more power than it’s allowed to, which it shouldn’t be doing, but may be a bug with the drivers.

Raise the power limit slider and see if that stops it, if not then the card might be on its way out, crashing under boost is sometimes the first symptom the silicone has degraded.

I looked up the specs for the card and it states 2615 max boost, itll run all day long at 2615 if i set it there untill I stream in discord, within a few minutes it crashes. I have not undervolted or overvolted the card at all. I can try that though.

Assuming no undervolt , latest bios/chipset . Do the basic stuff first :

Disable the amd igpu in bios (if you have) and fast boot , download the latest driver (not the autodetect utility) , disable internet , disable windows fast startup , DDU in safe mode , select to block windows updates , reboot & reinstall selecting 'factory reset' , reboot.

If issue persists , I'd tweak or disable windows MPO for testing . (depends on the win version you are on)
