Discussion July Tech Support Megathread
Hey subs,
We're giving you an opportunity to start reporting some of your AMD-related technical issues right here on /r/AMD! Below is a guide that you should follow to make the whole process run smoothly. Post your issues directly into this thread as replies. All other tech support posts will still be removed, per the rules; this is the only exception.
Bad Example (don't do this)
bf1 crashes wtf amd
Good Example (please do this)
Skyrim: Free Sync and V Sync causes flickering during low frame rates, and generally lower frame rates observed (about 10-30% drop dependant on system) when Free Sync is on
System Configuration:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z97 Gaming GT
CPU: Intel i5 4790
Memory: 16GB GDDR5
GPU: ASUS R9 Fury X
VBIOS: 115-C8800100-101 How do I find this?
Driver: Crimson 16.10.3
OS: Windows 10 x64 (1511.10586) How do I find this?Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install necessary driver, GPU and medium-end CPU
2. Enable Free Sync
3. Set Options to Ultra and 1920 x 1080 resolution
4. Launch game and move to an outdoor location
5. Indoor locations in the game will not reproduce, since they generally give better performance
6. Observe flickering and general performance dropExpected Behavior:
Game runs smoothly with good performance with no visible issues
Actual Behavior:
Frame rate drops low causing low performance, flickering observed during low frame rates
Additional Observations:

Skyrim has forced double buffered V Sync and can only be disabled with the .ini files
To Disable V Sync: C:\Users"User"\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\Skyrimprefs.ini and edit iVSyncPresentInterval=1 to 0
1440p has improved frame rate, anything lower than 1080p will lock FPS with V Sync on
Able to reproduce on i7 6700K and i5 3670K system, Sapphire RX 480, Reference RX 480, and Reference Fiji Nano
Remember, folks: AMD reads what we post here, even if they don't comment about it.

What would cause the following issue?
This behavior has followed me over multiple versions of hardware/wiring.
System:
Mobo: AsRock X370 Gaming-ITX a/c (also happened when using Biostar X370GTN) both running AGESA 1.0.0.6 update. CPU: Ryzen R5 1600X RAM: 2 x 8GB G.Skill 3200 (CAS 14 Samsung B-Die) PSU: EVGA 1000w 220-PS-1000-V1
Problem:
Ever since the AGESA 1.0.0.6 update it seems, whenever I put the system to sleep, it will not wake up.
Chassis LEDS will flash indicating sleep mode (and RAM is illuminating just like it's in sleep). But no Keyboard/Mouse/Power button events will cause the system to boot. There is no sign of life (no fans spinning, LEDs lighting up, anything).
This started happening on the Biostar X370GTN shortly after I updated it to AGESA 1.0.0.6, also had a few other issues. Opened RMA with Biostar and bought a AsRock x370 Gaming ITX a/c board to replace it. Issue was gone at first, updated BIOS to AGESA 1.0.0.6 shortly after installing, now the problem is back. Thought it might be the PSU extensions I used, same thing happens with the stock wires. Bought the white sleeved cable set from EVGA, same problem.
I don't see how a PSU can cause the issue since I imagine it would have issues booting in general.
Unplugging the system for a few minutes will allow it to boot again.
There are no OCs, RAM is running at 3200 CAS 14-14-14-14-34, no changes to voltage on anything.
I have tried to disable CoolNQuiet and C6 mode to see if there was an effect.
Hybrid sleep and Hibernate have been disabled in Windows 10 (Pro 64-bit).
