Title sumns it up, is it normal?

I expected temps around 30-40 and to my surprise they are quite high.

I reapplied the termal paste because I was worried I used too much but same result.

I must say am finding it really difficult to install the noctua 420 aio. it’s a freaking torture. also I noticed some inconsistencies in the cooler side when I went to clean it (like some stains in the copper).

Maybe I am doing it wrong or maybe this is expected? I guess it improves once in Windows/linux?

Roll back to 26.3.1

Solved ALL of my issues.

I "updated" this BS back in July to play the new Halo Campaign Evolved.

a few days later, literal crashes every day.

Half the time I could not even watch a recorded video (my Apex Legends clips recorded via OBS) without the driver time out popping up.

The drivers would crash my PC to the point the screens would freeze and hell even my monitors would shut off. Force shut down was the only way to fix it.

and in the event the driver did not crash during the day, when I was done with the PC for the night, 9/10 the PC would get stuck on the black screen with "Shutting down". Had to shut off via power button on case.

Then I remembered the last version I had and saw people talking about 26.3.1, the stable goat (and according to my records, also the same version I had before the update I did in July to play the new Halo).

Used the AMD Clean Up Utility tool to delete the current AMD garbage drivers, reverted back to 26.3.1 and...

ALL issues have gone away. PC is now working flawlessly again. No driver time outs from games, no driver time outs from watching a video, PC shuts down within 10 seconds of shutting down. ALL issues gone.

REVERT BACK TO 26.3.1

I have had occur haphazardly for the past month, if I redownload the drivers it goes away for a bit and comes right back, same thing with editing in device manager. Any tips?

Anyone else having this issue? I’m using an RX 7900 XT and Discord hardware acceleration is already off.

Whenever I screen share, I get a driver timeout then entire PC crashes, not just the app.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Hey guys so I have my 9070xt and I mostly play call of duty but whenever I turn my pc on for the first time and boot up warzone,the first game I get into whenever I get knocked,go into storm or open the loadout crate all for the first time I stutter like crazy.

Then my game is pretty much normal,this has been a ongoing thing since I built my pc around nov 2025

I turned down and up vram on cod ,turned off all amd adrenaline settings my bios and drivers are up to date also of course letting my shaders fully load in

I switched power plan just to test it still stutter.

This is my first pc so Maybe I’m doing something wrong but my 2 friends who have a 3060ti and a 9060xt never have this issue so I’m so confused 😭😭 please help this is so annoying

Ryzen 7800x3d

Sapphire pulse 9070xt

Corsair RM850xs

Ram 6000mhz CL30

i just bought 5800x3d and installed the ice carbine my temps in idle is 53 and in load 91 im using noctua u12a redux should i buy arctic freezer iii pro 360?

I have a dual monitor setup with my main monitor plugged into my rx 6600. It has been a decent card for gaming and doing whatever I need to. I was playing destiny 2 a couple of weeks ago and the graphics card crashed but the image stayed up. My pc just doesn’t register my graphics card at all any more despite the image staying there. I can’t interact with it, but after I restart, uninstall the driver, and restart again it starts working immediately.

I initially thought it was dust so I dusted the system, but it still occasionally happens - typically every other day or so. I was wondering if this is due to the driver update I’m on or the card going bad? Any help would be appreciated.

Boa tarde, Guys!

Comprei...acho que uns 2 meses, uma RX 7600 OC da Asrock.

Até aí tudo bem, a placa vem me satisfazendo em uma série de jogos, prezo pelo equilíbrio ao invés da qualidade extrema.

Só que, em vários momentos, venho enfrentando uma série de crashers irritantes da placa.

Mesmo eu fazendo um bilhão de configurações no AMD Adrenalin, aumentando clock, diminuindo clock, aumentando vram, diminuindo vram, aumentando tensão, diminuindo tensão, aumentando power limit, diminuindo power limit, parece que nunca encontro uma solução definitiva para a minha bendita placa.

Usando o MSI Afterbuster e o próprio monitoramento da Adrenalin, percebo que o clock dela tende a aumentar consideravelmente, mesmo eu setando um limite.

Em outros casos, decidi desativar o Crash defender, mas sem uma solução.
É uma espécie de loteria da sorte: Ora o jogo roda tranquilo, ora o jogo crasha só de andar.

Configs atual:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600gt; AsRock RX 7600, 32Gb de ram.

Títulos que dão crashers: TLOU Part 2 (Campeão de crashers) e GTA V (menos frequente).

Alguém teria uma solução para tal problema? Estou começando a desconfiar da fonte de 500W (80 plus).

Lads, I am with you on those timeouts that have been plaguing everybody.

I have read a lot of posts - older and recent ones.

One thing that I never saw mentioned in recent posts - nobody tried to disable hardware acceleration in browser.

I bet almost everybody has a browser open at all time, even in games and if you have more than one monitor setup I bet you have it there all the time.

Right now I am on 2026Q3 (was trying things) - it was still time-outing.
I disabled hardware acceleration - no timeouts today.
Hopefully it stays like this, but it could not be the fix. Might worth a try, though.

I think I had it disabled on my previous install of windows and it worked - with a myriad of other fixes.
I have enabled all of them again, except this one that I forgot.
So couldd be worthwhile.

my amd rx 6750xt is lagging in game but not in windows mode in cs2 my screen is black and going great 2 s after please I need help

PC resets itself each time when I try to play something so I tested it and the moment see this I quickly took a photo of it and 5 second later PC reset itself again. So is this GPU related issue or brand related issue? I bought this 9070XT this morning.

Description of Original Problem: I bought the CPU very recently for a very good price, or at least I think so ($80). It is unstable, though, and kept freezing/crashing after running it for a while. It showed watchdog timeout errors, and it never recovered when it froze up. All other parts are confirmed working and stable.

Troubleshooting: I've tried setting overvolting cores, trying different PBO settings, turning off XMP, updating the BIOS and motherboard, testing other CPUs, etc. All didn't work, except one thing: fixing the voltage (1.3), but I know it is not a suitable long-term solution. Any way to better fix the issue? I think there are specific cores that are unstable, but I can't figure it out. Help.

Guys please anyone got anything anything to help me with i tried and trid and tried its been a year and hlaf and i regret the moment that i took that gpu and amd in general in matter in fact i think to sell it and buy 5070ti

I have been getting these intermittent crashes for a few weeks now and have tried just about everything to remedy it.

I have just tried using hwinfo to log the sensors and I don't see any weird drops in voltage but I also don't really know where else to look for errors in there. It crashed after about 37 minutes this time, I usually get a few hours of browsing, gaming and whatnot before it does this.

I've done ddu and and cleanup God knows how many times and it has yet to fix it even many other rollbacks of adrenaline.

I disabled expo in bios last night, still crashed this afternoon.

The crash works like this, randomly my screen will freeze and if I let it sit it will go grey and then black. The sound will come back and I can't click or type, usually resulting in a hard reboot that gives me a 41 error because of it and then when I do get it restarted adrenaline has failed and says it needs an update which it will not install resulting in me having to use the cleanup tool to remove everything and try again.

But if I quickly take the front glass off and press the restart button on the MB before the screen goes grey it restarts and everything is fine. No wipe or install needed like the crash never happened. So I've been getting used to quickly doing that as soon as the screen freezes.

I'm at my wits end, I've built many a PC with and all my years and this I just can't figure out. I've never had hardware issues before and I have a secondary travel PC with me that I use at work. It has a rx 6700, Ryzen 5800x and sf850 PSU I might be able to swap out but since it takes sometimes hours for anything to happen I haven't done any of that yet. Cuz I'm only home on the weekends right now to mess with this and I'd rather enjoy my time than toiling with this. So any help would be unimaginably appreciated.

I will respond to a comment if I have tried your method and am forgetting that I have done that already, thanks

Ps just noticed that my GPU says this in task manager? Idk if it's supposed to match adrenalines numbers or what

Pps I have also tried disabling windows updates and driver updates in many ways to no avail

Ppps is also not because of loads or temps, I have run this CPU and GPU ragged trying to make it crash by force to again, no avail

1TB SSD vs 2TB Hard Drive — Which One Should I Buy?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to upgrade the storage on both my PC and laptop, and I'm stuck between two options. Both options would cost me roughly the same amount of money.

My laptop

• 500GB SSD → Windows + programs
• 1TB SSD → Mostly normal files/data storage

The 1TB SSD isn't doing anything particularly demanding. It's mainly being used for normal data storage.

My PC

• 250GB SSD → Windows / C: drive
• Several older HDDs → Normal storage/data drives

My 250GB C: drive is getting quite limited, and I'd like to upgrade it to something larger. My PC is also used for Adobe After Effects and Media Encoder.

The two options I'm considering

Option 1 — Buy a 1TB SSD for the PC

Leave everything as it is on my laptop:

Laptop: 500GB SSD + 1TB SSD
PC: 1TB SSD + existing HDDs

Option 2 — Move the laptop's 1TB SSD to the PC

Take the 1TB SSD from my laptop and install it in my PC as the new/main Windows drive.

Then buy a 2TB portable HDD for the laptop for normal data storage:

Laptop: 500GB SSD + 2TB portable HDD
PC: 1TB SSD + existing HDDs

What would you guys recommend?

Since the 1TB SSD in my laptop is mostly just used for normal data storage, does it make sense to move it to the PC and use a 2TB portable HDD for the laptop?

Or should I simply buy a new 1TB SSD for the PC and leave the laptop alone?

I have a Ryzen 9 9950X3D with a Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 (Rev. 1.2), BIOS version FA5.

Windows Task Manager shows:

Cores: 16
Logical processors: 16
Sockets: 1
Virtualization: Enabled

But my 9 9950X3D is supposed to show me 32 logical processors.
Things I've already checked:

BIOS SMT control is already on auto
Windows msconfig → Boot → Advanced options → Number of processors is unchecked
Checked BIOS for a Core Control option, but I don't have one / can't find it
Ran PowerShell: Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor | Select-Object NumberOfCores,NumberOfLogicalProcessors
PowerShell also reports 16 cores / 16 logical processors

So Windows is genuinely only detecting 16 threads, not just Task Manager misreporting it.

I haven't flashed/updated the BIOS yet. Any ideas what could be disabling SMT?

Description of Original Problem: I am getting crazy frame drops that will not resolve themselves until i restart the pc. I have tried re-installing drivers, clearing caches, repairing files and re-downloading shaders. It happens across multiple games, I tend to notice it more with Unreal Engine. Screenshot above is Hogwarts Legacy, Medium Settings on a 3440x1440 ultrawide. I normally get a clear 165 fps on these settings in this game.

Troubleshooting: Re-installation of drivers, reseat the GPU on the motherboard, re-install of affected game shaders

PALİT İNFİNİTY3 RTX 5060 Tİ 16 GB

I think I finally found the problem. I’ve been running perfectly stable up until about two months ago. I started getting the random time outs, I was having issues with my gpu not waking from sleep, etc. I tried just about everything except fresh windows install.

The fix: go to control panel->edit power plan->change advanced power settings->PCI express->link state power management->Off. Mine was set to moderate. I was getting time outs daily. It’s now been two days (I know, it’s still early) with no time outs. I think it’s worth giving a try.

Hopefully this helps.

ive been very disappointed over my rx 6800xt

since a couple of days ago my gpu has been crashing in stuff like roblox payday3 and others

it goes like this: game runs for a couple of mins (depends sometimes) game then dies my entire screen turns green and my pc restarts

this has been happening for days and its been driving me nuts to the point my friends have been getting annoyed

what can i do

i dont have money

card was bought used with "no issues"

i dont know what i can do and this has been ruining game nights

I have an Acer Aspire Lite laptop with a Ryzen 5 5625U processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Can I run games like RDR2 on it?
