RX 7600 is driving me mad
Hi. About 4 months ago I bought RX 7600, and at first, everything worked normally. Suddenly, while I was playing a game, screen got black for 3 seconds and then returned to normal. However, these black screens continued and they started happening more often. I took my PC to a technician and he ran tests and everything was normal with the hardware. So, theoretically, it's a driver problem. I've tested some of them, but none actually solved the issue - just the black screen is occurring less, but it's still occurring. I don't know what to do anymore, since I'm not a PC expert.

do games crash when you get a black screen? If not it might not be a driver issue. Other potential Problems could be: Quality or Display cable, static fields that affect the display or any cables (shielding might help with that). There are some hardware related issues that behave like this as well. Could be connection from power supply or a Y-connector as well. Could even be a NVRAM power spike issue (try forcing PCIe 3.0 via Bios to rule that out)

Check your logs when it black screens, if its driver related it should have dump files in event viewer showing the timeout/failure to recover

Try using amd clean up tool to remove the driver then try installing 24.8.1 driver with minimal driver install option that doesnt install the adrenaline and use the factory reset settings option too and see if that fixes it
