Bored constantly repeating the following to help people with their messed up AMD Driver install or crashing AMD GPU - so created this post.
I assume Windows 10 OS as the only one supported.
When you post a question about corrupted AMD Drivers on your system, you need to post the following information or no response:
System Specifications:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Motherboard BIOS Version:
RAM:
OS:
OS Version:
GPU:
GPU Driver Version:
PSU:
Type winver at cmd line in Windows to get exact Windows version and build.
Make sure your PC CPU, RAM, and GPU CLK and Memory are NOT OVERCLOCKED before posting about a problem.
Turn off all overclocking and see if you can repeat the problem before reporting.
To remove and reinstall your drivers:
1. Make sure your Windows 10 version is up to date with the latest windows update patches.
2. Remove all 3rd party GPU OC tools from your system. Even if they came with the GPU. Such as MSI Afterburner, old versions of Sapphire Trixx, etc etc.
3. Open windows cmd shell and run the foillowing checks
chkdsk
chkdsk /scan
sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
if problems then run:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
4. Go to https://www.wagnardsoft.com download latest version of DDU. Extract it and create a link to DDU executable on your desktop.
5. Go to https://www.amd.com/en/support and download the latest drivers for your PC.
[Edit: - Go to Laptop Manufacturer Support page for AMD Drivers specific to your Laptop make and model]
6. Disconnect from internet completely.
7. Boot into Windows 10 safe mode.
8. Run DDU. Leave settings at default. Remove any traces of previous AMD or Nvidia GPU Drivers. Leave Intel drivers alone.
9. Boot into Windows 10 Normal mode.
10. Run the AMD installer. Do not select Factory Reset Install. You do not need it.
11. Once install completes. Reboot your PC into normal mode again.
12. Once PC powers up you can then reconnect to the internet.
I will add more fine details later.
