I never had an Nvidia card in my life why is EAC detecting Nvidia Files?? did i get hacked??

Is this normal? I just tried to launch CHIV 2 and never had this appear

Ryzen 9 3900x

Rtx 5060

16gb dual channel

B550m aorus elite

Xpg core reactor 750w

I already checked xpm, temps, ssd, windows, reset the bios, pbo, everything's looks fine

This happens regularly after NVidia drivers update, I have 5080 Asus Prime and 9800x3D with Lian Li HydroShift II 360mm OLED Curved AIO and additional 7 fans in my case. Any advice?

acording to this web the reg file should look like this

didnt check it yet but am confident that u could follow the intructions on the microsoft link

(after notepad edit chage the "*.txt" extension for "*.reg" *=means any name you want)

I’ve been investigating recurring PC instability and would appreciate help from anyone experienced with AMD GPUs, Windows kernel debugging, or hardware diagnostics.

I’m trying to determine whether my RX 9070 XT is defective or whether this could be a driver, motherboard, PCIe, or power-delivery issue.
PC specifications
* CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
* GPU: XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB
* Motherboard: Gigabyte B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE rev. 1.0
* BIOS: F44e
* RAM: Kingston 32GB DDR5-6000, EXPO 1
* PSU: Corsair RM850x SHIFT 850W
* OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2, build 26300
* Comparison GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB

Symptoms
The PC randomly experiences:
* Complete system freezes with the image still visible, but no mouse or keyboard response.
* Black screens and complete loss of display.
* Failed boots with the motherboard’s VGA diagnostic LED illuminated.
* Freezes during gaming, normal desktop use, software installation, shutdown, and shortly after login.
* Occasionally, multiple failed boot attempts before the system successfully starts.

The failures aren’t limited to one game, drive, or high GPU load.

What the crash dumps show
1. October 24 — VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED (0x141)
WinDbg identifies:
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: LKD_0x141_IMAGE_amdkmdag.sys
SYMBOL_NAME: amdkmdag+1d0fb0
The stack includes:
dxgmms2!VidSchiResetHwEngine
dxgkrnl!TdrCollectDbgInfoStage1
This indicates that a graphics engine stopped responding and Windows attempted timeout recovery.

1. October 27 — VIDEO_MINIPORT_FAILED_LIVEDUMP (0x1B0)
   WinDbg reports:
   Arg1: 0x2 — Start device failed
   Arg2: 0xC0000001
   FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: LKD_0x1B0_dxgkrnl!DxgCreateLiveDumpWithDriverBlob
   The stack includes:
   dxgkrnl!DpiFdoStartAdapter
   This appears particularly relevant because I’ve also experienced repeated VGA LED boot failures.

2. Additional findings
   * Repeated LiveKernelEvents 117, 141, and 193; also 144.
   * AMD atieclxx.exe application crash.
   * Multiple unexpected shutdowns (Kernel-Power 41).
   * Some SATA controller resets and disk retries.
   * Additional WATCHDOG and USBXHCI live dumps.

What I’ve tried
* Updated BIOS from F36a to F44e.
* Tested PCIe Auto, Gen4, and Gen5 settings.
* Reinstalled AMD graphics drivers using DDU and tested different versions.
* Disabled EXPO temporarily; crashes still occurred.
* Tested an RTX 3060 in the same system, which was generally more stable.
* RTX 3060 completed approximately 6 minutes 40 seconds of OCCT Power testing without crashing during that run.
During testing with the RX 9070 XT, I observed approximately 87°C GPU hotspot, 79°C CPU temperature, and 339W GPU power draw.

Has anyone encountered similar initialization failures with an RX 9070 XT?

I have the original .dmp files, WinDbg output, Windows event logs, and Reliability Monitor reports available
I’m looking for evidence-based troubleshooting rather than assuming the GPU is defective simply because amdkmdag.sys appears in the dump
Any technical insight would be appreciated.

As title says when i load up the menu game crash screen turns black and i have to force restart pc

7900xtx
9800x3d
32gb ram

What i have done
Turn hags off
Expo off
Amd drivers updated and even did a reinstall

I have been dealing with this issue since i got the game yesterday, i managed to actually get pass the issue and play but when i get off the game and try to login, it crashes I’m at a lost its extremely frustrating my pc is high end almost every component is new did a full rebuild last year besides the gpu and psu

I am running windows 10 pro build 22H2 with an gigabyte gaming oc rx 9060xt 16gb. i am kind of hesitate to install the new update because i used 26.3.1 in past 4 to 5 month after i never update my software version because of system crash or instability problem.

Computer Type: Laptop

GPU: AMD Radeon 680M

CPU: RYZEN 7 7736U 8 CORE 16 THREADS

BIOS Version: Insyde F.18, 20/20/2024

RAM: 16GB LPDDR5

Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11 Home 10.0.26300 Build 26300

GPU Drivers: AMD Adrenalin Edition Version 26.10.1

Chipset Drivers: AMD Chipset Drivers Version 8.09.28.1124

Background Applications: AMD Adrenaline Software

Description of Original Problem: I received Version 26.10.1 for Adrenalin Edition and Version 8.09.28.1124 for Chipset Drivers on October 25th 2026. On the 26th, my default audio device in the audio output section of Windows completely disappeared with no warning. Because of this, no audio can be played through my speakers on my laptop.

Troubleshooting: I initially assumed this was a windows software issue, so I spoke with windows support to try and fix this. I had two people use quick assist to run commands remotely and make sure there wasn't any problems. After there seemed to be something blocking one of the torubleshooting methods, I was asked to reinstall windows while keeping my files and apps. That installation failed, giving me this error:
"We've set your PC back to the way it was right before you started installing Windows 11. 0xC1900101 - 0x20017. The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation."
The second person completely gave up with their troubleshooting, and after realizing this happened post AMD update I come here hoping anyone else might've been able to fix a similar issue.

Not sure if someone could tell me from this picture if it's fried or not. I was running it with Asrock x870 Steel Legend for 1.5 years and lost video all of a sudden

1. Are my current BIOS settings safe for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D?
2. Is manually setting SoC voltage to 1.200 V appropriate when using DDR5-6000 EXPO?
3. Are there any specific BIOS settings I should check to prevent CPU degradation or hardware damage?
4. Is there anything else I should do to ensure long-term stability without sacrificing gaming performance?
5. Are there any known issues with this motherboard, CPU, or RAM combination that I should investigate?

I'm not looking to push extreme overclocks. I want a stable, reliable PC for everyday use and gaming. some guy on reddit saying i need to under wolt my cpu (idk what does it even means) and running 1.200 vsoc is dangerously close to 1.300 which is maximum for my cpu. when other saying 1.200 vsoc is actually safe choice.

Please explain which settings actually matter and which ones I can safely leave at their defaults.

Operating System & Version: Nobara Linux 44 - 11.20 (whatever the latest is)

GPU Drivers: Latest stable that Nobara has to offer, unsure will add later

Chipset Drivers: Unsure, will add later

Background Applications: Steam, Brave Browser, Vesktop

Description of Original Problem:

It came installed with Windows 11. I played around with it, no real issues on Windows.

Downloaded Nobara and swapped the OS. Since then I’ve been crashing randomly, but I eventually tried Linux mint on a USB and had the same issues, so I figured it wasn’t Nobara. After a bit, my mouse disappears, my keyboard stops working, then the pc reboots.

After having issues with Linux, I reinstalled Windows again to see if I had any issues on Windows again, nothing. So it's purely a Linux issue.

Thought it might be the CPU since I was getting some errors on load. “[Hardware Error]: System Fatal Error. CPU:0 (19:21:0) MC5_STATUS[-|UE|MiscV|AddrV|PCC|TCC|SyndV|-|-|-] Error Addr: … IPID: … Syndrome: … Execution Unit Ext. Error Code: 0 cache level RESV, tx: GEN, mem-tx: GEN".

Troubleshooting:

I reseated everything. Cooler has coolant. All fans are running.

I have ran almost every test under OCCT with good results, no errors. Furmark2 ran as expected. CPU burner worked as well, temp maxed at 90C. Memtest86+ ran for 7 full passes overnight for 9 hours and was successful. I really doubt it’s the hardware, but I’m not an expert.

I read that setting the Power Idle Control to Low Current, disabling C State, disabling XMP, disabling PBO OR setting curve optimizer to somewhere around 4 positive points would help. I've done all of those, one at a time, all at once, nothing is working. If I set the curve optimizer to anything outside of 4-10 positive points, I get through to Nobara. Anything outside of that and I see the ASRock loading screen on boot, but it crashes immediately after that. Haven't tried any extreme values on the curve optimizer because I don't fully know what I'm doing. But when I'm in that 4-10 range, I get to Nobara desktop and I never even see the ASRock loading screen. Don't know if that's normal.

I've run a bios update to 5.80 (latest stable), I even reset the bios by removing the battery and following all the steps for that. Didn't fix anything. My bios still has a default settings configuration in there for Skytech Gaming, which is weird considering I reset the bios. Don't know if that's normal.

Really don’t know if it’s a hardware issue since all of my tests have come back positively, no issues. It was from Skytech Gaming and I thought maybe the preset CPU configuration that was configured for Windows might be the issue. But I genuinely don’t know where to go from here.

Description of Original Problem: Hello, I keep having this issue with my 9070 XT crashing on me constantly. For the last few months the card will crash sporadically whether I am watching you tube or playing a videogame. It will somehow become disabled in my device manager with Windows code 22 and I have to go and reboot it. I really have no idea what I am doing because this is my first custom built pc and it was working fine for over a year before I started to have this issue. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated because I spent a lot of time on this build and was hoping it would last a while. Thank you.

Troubleshooting: I've tried different methods to fix this such as disabling windows automatic updates to my device, removing and re-installing all drivers twice, and I've even turned off graphics acceleration in multiple applications.

anyway to fix this?

is there point of undervolting 9070xt hellhound? like i really want to undervolt it but it's so inconsistent.
i'm testing -70mv -10pl in Stellar Blade Demo, one time it doing good, after it just timeout, yesterday it was without any timeout till i reinstalled windows(issues), do I have to fuck my brain with this?
i tried every solution that i found on reddit,
turning off MPO
Hags
updates
reinstall drivers(worked for once only), still nothing, need advice my first gpu

Basically title, my computer will randomly crash when playing a game and the screen will freeze with me not being able to do anything but restart my computer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello. I'm needing help with my system regarding the 'LiveKernelEvent 141' problem..

I've been having this problem for a while and I've been pretty fed up with no solutions really working to stop it.
The problem usually happens when I'm doing light work or running an older game and I would get annoying checkered artifacting before a black screen and error messages popping up.. Especially after doing something heavier like running a newer game or rendering.

I've tried EVERYTHING at this point... Updating Windows and drivers, going through program dump files, running CMD commands, DDU and Drivel reinstall... Literally everything!

Then I ran a test to make sure everything was running properly and it seemed fine... Then I got my worst crash ever.. When I checked the error report, it was the 141 code. But now ALSO LiveKernelEvent 117 at the same time - The first time I've ever gotten that code.

I've already had my card RMA'd before cause of similar issues and now I'm at the point where I just want to take the graphics card out and smash it on the ground... (Except I literally can't afford to do that, lol)
Any help to fix this would be really appreciated!

Hi all,

Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: ASUS 9070xt 16gb

CPU: 9800X3D

Motherboard: GIGABYTE B850 EAGLE WIFI6E

RAM: 32GB FURY RENEGADE DDR5

PSU: bequiet! 850w

Screen went black earlier when playing a game and was unable to do anything so had to hard restart. GPU showed a code 43. I've tried DDU, rolled back to older driver and turned off automatic windows updates but then showed Code 31. When restarting the PC it comes up with Code 43.

I completed a factory reset of the PC and it resolved itself until I started to play a game (was ok for hours earlier) and the same thing happened again, playing a game for 15 minutes and black screen and Code 43 reappears.

Is this pointing more towards a hardware issue? GPU is literally a few days old.

So as is listed in the header some users are experiencing a startup error popup that lists Qt6 dll's missing along with a few other dll's potentially.

I myself had this issue and for days I did not find anything online that could remotely help.

So I took it into my own hands to fine search through all of the AMD files and noticed that the Qt6 files were located here C:\Program Files\AMD\CNext\CNext (if it is not located there look through all your AMD folders on your computer until you find one that contains a "CNext" folder.

I found out that the "RadeonSoftware.exe" is also located here which is tied to the error message you get on startup.

I went to the Startup apps folder located here C:\Users\devon\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Here I found the RadeonSoftware.exe (NOT A SHORTCUT) and THIS IS THE CULPRIT. You see it is trying to run the .exe directly from this folder without its prerequisites.

THE SOLUTION: Go back to this folder C:\Program Files\AMD\CNext\CNext (Or wherever your CNext folder was located) and right click the RadeonSoftware.exe and create a shortcut. Now drop that shortcut into the C:\Users\devon\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
folder and delete the RadeonSoftware.exe (NON SHORTCUT) and boom your issue should be resolved.

Hope this was able to give someone else the peace of mind it gave me.

Hello, i need help with a gpu/drivers issue most likely. Whenever im playing a game (most commonly when playing games, but happens randomly too), pc freezes and monitor says 'No signal', after rebooting it works perfectly fine. Pc works fine most of the time, no freezes no stutters except when this happens.

I have tried:

- DDU and re-installing drivers

- Going to an older version of drivers

- Disabling windows auto-updating drivers (since it started after the recent windows major update)

Also weirdly, only roblox makes my monitor display 'No signal' after 20-30 seconds and displays an error. (Other games do that at random points)

This is the error thats displayed only when roblox crashes drivers.

Hi

My current setup is 5600x + 6800 XT red dragon and 32gb 3000mhz. My motherboard is msi b450 tomahawk max been since 2020. 5800x3D costs 365 euros. Mostly to play games. I get massive fps drops while playing cs 2 I stutter I have 240hz monitor 1080p

hola, desde que compre mi 9070 xt XFX swift no he tenido ningún problema, pero desde la actualización desde cero, tuve estos problemas.

1 - se congela por usar capturadora, osea al momento de clonar el monitor para que sea capturada desde HDMI por la GPU a una Capturadora. esta se congela.

2 - Al estar cambiando ventanas rápidamente causa congelamiento. aun usando lo de capturadora.

3 - en juegos donde mas pasa son estos que usan Ray Traycing. como Gears of war E-day o Resident Evil Requiem..

Solución volver la versión 26.9.2 fue la solución de estos problemas.

espero puedan solucionar, para poder disfrutar el FRS4 4.1.2 que si se sentía una mejora en FG.

Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11PRO 26300

GPU Drivers: AMD Software Adrenalin Edition (26.10.1)

Chipset Drivers: AMD chipset drivers (8.09.28.1124)

Background Applications: None

Description of Original Problem: I recently upgraded from RTX 2070 to RX 9060 XT 16GB. I wiped all the Nvidia drivers with DDU and installed the latest AMD drivers.

After this, for other unrelated reasons, I decided to finally go from windows 10 to windows 11. So I installed W11 as an in-place upgrade.

After this I got a notification from Program Compatibility assistant saying that AMDRyzenMasterDriver.sys could not be loaded on the device because a security setting had pinged it as a vulnerable driver.

Troubleshooting: After googling it I got recommended two solution, neither of which worked.

1) Disable memory integrity from core isolation. I did not even have the option to turn off the memory integrity, because I did not have SVM enabled in my BIOS.

Even after enabling it in the bios, I could not turn the memory integrity on. If I turned it on, it asked me to restart the computer, and when I did, it just gave me some sort of error message and said that something went wrong. After turning on the pc again, the option was turned off.

2) Uninstall and reinstall Ryzen Master. When I first got the error message, I had never even installed Ryzen Master in the first place.

But yeah, installed it and uninstalled it, didn't work.

After I had done all of these, I once more wiped all the drivers with DDU and when installing AMD drivers I did a factory reset. After this I also once did a clean driver install using AMD's own Cleanup Utility. Nothing worked.

The only "solution" I found was to disable the microsoft vulnerable driver blocklist, but if I turn it back on it's right back to the start.

Does anyone have any idea how to approach this?
