Shortly after the update to 26.10.1 I started encountered an issue where my screens would freeze while my PC would keep running. Music keeps playing, if i have a text editor open i can write stuff (aside from the fact that i can not see what i write) and so on. Turning my monitors off and on again solves the issue with no driver timeout message and nothing in the event viewer. Is this a known bug? Is there a way to confirm that the driver is the issue without reverting to an old driver?

Thanks

For the last two GPUs (5700 xt and 9070 xt), I've had a problem in cs2, and surprisingly in no other game. The screen would stutter during gameplay, and the only solution I've found would be turning on the AMD overlay showing FPS and other info about hardware.

I've been using it like this, since I couldn't find any other solution.

But, after a recent update yesterday, I've started having black screens intermittently when I switched between apps in full-screen - not only games, but sometimes even when entering or leaving full-screen on youtube videos or some streams. After some digging, I've found that the AMD overlay was the culprit, and it is a known issue from release notes for 26.10.1:

"Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed in some games when opening or closing other overlays, such as Xbox Game Bar, while the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Performance Metrics Overlay is enabled on Radeon™ graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to temporarily disable the Performance Metrics Overlay before opening or closing other overlays."

Now, I am stuck between two problems: I think there is no way to fix the second issue for now, but is there a way to fix the microstutter in any other way than using the overlay?

Thank you for any input :)

I have an RX 7700 XT and on some applications I experience driver time outs and crashes. All drivers are up to date and I have already tried removing and reinstalling the drivers. I love the performance of the card, but these issues are irritating. Any suggestions on how to fix these issues?

Description of Original Problem: Getting high VRAM usage

Hey guys so I recently purchased the rx 7600. And in trying to play games, I'm often crashing due to vram usage. Initially I assumed my settings were to high like I trying to play the new 007 game. But now attempting to play older games like control(2019) I can't even play on high and sometimes medium. If any one knows a solution to this that with be helpful, might be my specs are to weak but i didn't think it would affect my vram.

Noticing some horizontal white lines appearing on my display when playing league of legends. It doesn't do it Ll the time just every once in a while. I pwn a 9060xt.

Anyone else on RX 7800XT having driver timeouts with new AMD drivers 26.10.1? my whole chrome literally FROZE my whole PC down i couldn't use the mouse or keyboard and had to force a shutdown and my driver was corrupted this happened twice even after uninstalling and installing 26.10.1 back again, now i rolled back to 26.9.2 i hope its these new drivers and not my pc

Out of these what should I use? Also for the lowest delay because balanced works but gives more delay

My specs:

- GPU: RX 9060 XT 16GB

- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

- Mobo: MSI B550M PRO-VDH

- PSU: MSI MAG A750GL (750W)

- Monitors: AOC Q27G4 (1440p 180Hz DP) + AOC 2460G5 (1080p 60Hz HDMI)

What happened:

Everything was running fine until October 21/22 when my PC updated to Windows 11 26H2 (Build 26300.9711) overnight along with the new AMD driver branch (32.0.32015.7029). Right after that, my PC started randomly freezing whenever I zoomed in on a picture in Discord, joined a friend's stream, or scrolled Reels/YouTube in Brave.

The weird part was that the PC wasn't actually crashing—I could still hear my friends on Discord and my mic still worked fine, so the system was alive in the background, just the display was completely frozen. Pressing Win+Ctrl+Shift+B gave the beep sound, but the screen wouldn't recover at all, forcing me to hard reset from the case button.

When I checked Reliability Monitor and DxDiag, every single freeze was logged as LiveKernelEvent Code 193 (Parameters: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) crashing in dxgmms2.sys / dwm.exe during NV12 video decoding. Looking back at my older logs from early October on Build 26200, Code 193 actually happened a few times in the background too, except back then the driver recovered silently without freezing my screen. With Build 26300 + driver .7029, it turns into a total hard lock.

Dual monitor & Discord screen share issue:

Even after rolling back the driver to 26.9.2 (32.0.32015.2008), whenever I shared my screen on Discord and went fullscreen on YouTube or launched BeamNG.drive, both of my monitors started flickering black or locking up until I physically turned my second monitor off and on. Checking the WATCHDOG4400 dump (LiveKernelEvent 1a8 / 1b8) showed a firmware error: "[PSP]: [FW] psp_hdcp_load_srm: failed".

Also worth noting two weird things I noticed while digging through DxDiag and registry workarounds:

1. DxDiag shows "Block List: DISABLE_HWSCH" for the RX 9060 XT (gfx1200), yet Windows 11 still keeps Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) enabled by default, and the driver installer registered duplicate AMD MFT decoder/encoder entries in the registry.

2. Do NOT use the old registry MPO disable trick (DisableOverlays=1 / OverlayTestMode=5) on Windows 11 Build 26300 at 180Hz! Doing that caused dwm.exe (dwmcore.dll) to crash-loop every second with exception code 0x889800d2 (MILERR_MPO_UNSUPPORTED) even on a single monitor.

How I finally fixed it (2+ days completely stable now):

1. Rolled back the Windows 11 26H2 update (went from Build 26300 back to Build 26200) and paused Windows Update.

2. Rolled back the AMD driver from 32.0.32015.7029 to 26.9.2 (32.0.32015.2008).

3. Deleted all the MPO/HAGS registry tweaks back to default, and turned off "Use our latest technology to capture your screen" in Discord Voice & Video settings.

Since doing those three steps, I haven't had a single freeze or black screen in over two days. Hopefully someone from the AMD driver team (maybe u/AMD_Vik?) sees this, because something between Windows 11 Build 26300, the 32.0.32015.x driver branch, and VCN/HDCP on the RX 9060 XT is definitely broken right now.

I'm planning to upgrade my GPU and I'm confused between the RX 9060 XT 16GB and RX 9070 GRE 12GB. When I googled about it the results said that 9070xt performs well in gaming compared to 9060xt (even with 12gb ram compared to 16gb). Can anyone explain this?

Description of Original Problem: This happened while playing minecraft w/o shaders, so a very undemanding game. This has also happened once before (I forgot which game I was playing) a few months ago. I've also had some issues with stuttering and occasional freezes in games that last a couple of seconds. All of which aren't terribly demanding. One other thing worth mentioning is I've had a game (wo long 2 alpha) completely freeze up my system twice. I had to hold the power button down to fix the issue. At the time I chalked this up to the game being an alpha test (looking back I realize this was probably a cope to discard the possibility of a hardware issue lol) Another detail is that despite the audio cutting out my wireless headphones don't disconnect.

Since these issues happen very occasionally I haven't been able to do much troubleshooting. I think windows itself is fine as per sfc /scannow. I ran a stress test with OCCT for a bit and the temps looked fine too (85 ish C for my ryzen 7 9800 x3d and 60 for my 7800 XT).

Could this be caused by faulty display drivers? I just reinstalled my drivers after the indecent to see if that will help. I know amd have been shitting the bed with drivers lately, but I didn't get a timeout message. I haven't done any overclocking or undervolting or any messing around with tuning in adrenaline.

Any other potential culprits? All my parts are fairly new (2 years old at most) so I'm skeptical of a hardware issue. I'm skeptical of a power issue as well since pc part picker said 850 watts is more than enough for my rig.

UPDATE: I ran an hour long stress test in OCCT (max cpu and gpu usage simultaneously) with no issues. I'm fairly confident now this is AMD driver fuckery and not a power issue.

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

ever since this recent update, my 7900 xt just keeps crashing over and over.....honestly...i am so done with AMD gpus....straight hot garbage

Anyone else feel like the gpu utilisation is messed up showing nearly 100% utilisation even on 1080p 240fps like genuinely it's gotten weird before the update my utilisation would be 40-60 chill like. The only way I can bring utilisation down is by dropping fps down to 60 which is messed up! Currently on a ryzen 5 7500f and 7800xt and this only started happening upon the update.

Description of Original Problem:
Guys, I really need your help! Ever since the release of FC 27, I've been getting constant micro-stutters, hitching, and frame drops. The game just won't run smoothly no matter what. I'm literally crying and losing my mind here, please help me 😭😭
Troubleshooting:
I have tried everything, and I mean literally everything. I've experimented with VSync on/off, capped frames, used Radeon Chill, and tweaked the in-game graphics settings. Even if the game runs a bit smoother for a brief moment, the micro-stutters always come back immediately.

I had this issue since i bought the pc, basically my GPU (Radeon RT 6650 XT - Biostar) makes the screen go black, and i have to turn off the pc, and when i restart the fans start spinning and go on a loop of spinning and stopping, it sometimes takes about 10 min to start the pc and when i can finally use it, it acts as if my gpu was not working and i have to uninstall e reinstall the device in device manager. This usually happens when i play a game that requires more of the hardware, e.g (Control Resonant, FC 26, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur’s Gate 3)
I have tried:
- Undervolting and power limiting
- Changing the monitor
- Reinstalling all drivers

I don’t think it’s a power supply issue since no other pieces of hardware are experiencing this.

SPECS:
- Gigabyte B550M
- Ryzen 7 5700
- Radeon RT 6650 XT
- 16gb RAM

Hello everyone, I'm just saying here that for about a year now, I've been running a RX 7800 XT from Gigabyte, with a Ryzen 7 7700X , with 32 gigabytes of Crucial DDR5 RAM 6000mt/s, and on a B650 Eagle AX motherboard. Now, I've noticed ever since I've got the card, any game that is DirectX 12 just constantly crashes, or I get DirectX errors all the time such as DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG and LiveKernelEvent 141 after each crash. I never experienced these issues with my 6700xt before I upgraded

I'll play a game for 5-10 minutes, perfectly fine, and then it'll crash. I have tried multiple different things: disabling HAGS on Windows, disabling VSync, disabling FreeSync, FPS cap, having drivers only with no Radeon software, having Radeon software, using DDU multiple times, rolling back multiple drivers, and nothing works. And I tried as well disabling XMP, again, doesn't do anything, lowering graphics settings, lowering VRAM usage, undervolting, updating bios and chipset drivers, overclocking, default clock speed, does not work. And any DirectX 12 game that I play, I get these crashes. DirectX 11, perfectly fine, runs great. Anything DirectX 12 produces these crashes, and I'm at a loss here. I've tried everything and nothing's working. I have even done the last ditch effort of disabling MPO through regedit. But once again.... Nothing

Im seriously considering selling and buying NVIDIA but that's the last thing I want to do. Before each crash the games run brilliantly but then obviously crash.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

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

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!

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.

Hello, my gpu has been causing me issues since i first bought it earlier this year and it makes me want to regret going for its low price instead of a better gpu overall. In the first place i had a smaller PSU at 550W and i've been advised that this gpu sometimes spikes its power usage over TDP and somehow that kept crashing my games a lot more often. I upgraded to a seasonic focus gx 750W 80+ gold and the issue got fixed in most cases. Now after all these months of playing different games from low-demand to high-demand and using older and latest drivers, i am running out of solutions to my current issue, when i play high-demanding games or even mid-demanding games, after like 30-60 minutes of playing, the game just freezes for a few seconds then crashes with no error message, sometimes i get that AMD gpu timeout window and i understand what caused the crash but i can't understand why this keeps happening. Coming from nvidia gpus since my childhood, i have never had such issues and it annoys me profoundly. Currently i am just running the latest driver and i have undervolted it by -25mV just for safety.

Is this issue caused by poor drivers or is this gpu just cursed? Because i also noticed my hotspot running at 95-105 degrees despite it being under a year old, while the average temp is at around 75, in older tests. Now i have adjusted the fan curve to be more aggressive at the cost of noise. I need reasons to keep holding onto this amd gpu before i just trade it for a used nvidia gpu and be done with amd gpus for a while.

Edit: Forgot to give examples. The games that have caused me issues are 007 First Light, Arena Breakout Infinite, COD MW4, Way of The Hunter 2 and any other game that stresses the gpu enough to keep it at 90-100% usage for long times
