Right about done with all of this. So many people have posted this same issue across multiple hardware configs, including different models of graphics cards and CPUs with iGPUs, Win 10 or Win 11, and it's still an issue with the latest driver update.
Is AMD ever planning to put any effort into fixing this?????????
I've personally given up on it.
Having the same issue. Uninstalled adrenalin completely and the problem goes away. Miss out on all the nice to have features of adrenalin but at least mh pc will wake from sleep mode now ...........
hi fpezzino,
aside from the lockups at windows login, i'ev more or less been seeing the exact same issues with my build, using a 7950x and no dedicated graphics. everything's running at default settings, i've updated the bios and the drivers to latest stable versions, and nothing helped.
this is almost certainly an issue w/ amd drivers. it's just that they don't look too keen on working on a fix.
Hi ellensegan,
as soon as I'll have enough free time, I'm going to do more tests about video driver problems that I had previously described.
After that, I'll update you.
I Think to:
1) Update my MoBo BIOS to the latest version currently available;
2) Update my AMD Chipset Drivers and, maybe, my AMD Video Driver;
In ultimate, I'll try a modded version of AMD Video Driver (and/or MS AMD Video Driver).
See you next time.
Regards.
I have managed to fix my driver timeout by reducing the clock speed to 2100 (from the default 2200) and by increasing the igpu memory to 2gb (from the default 512mb).
My pc is a newly built 7800x3d, asrock b650 pro rs with 32gb cl30 6000 ram. It was a fresh install, all recommended drivers and absolutely no overclocking. Which made me confused on why I was getting driver timeouts for simply browsing the web.
I have tried doing almost everything, uninstalling drivers and installing again, ddu, disabling mpo, hardware acceleration…. Almost every fix I could find… at least until I came to a thread with someone having similar problems with his 7900xtx, which he solved by lowering the clock speed(the extra memory being given to the igpu was an extra step I added)
In case you have fixed your problem, hopefully someone else struggling, can find this my fix and it will work for them.
How long has this fix been working for? I'm only asking because sometimes you see people getting a temporary reprieve before the problem returns again. If this has been holding for a while, it seems promising (not that we should have to do it).
About a week since I applied the fix. 0 driver timeouts since then, hopefully it will stay like this.
I have to agree, we shouldn't have to do anything other than pay for the products, it's not our job to fiddle with anything to achieve basic functionality
Hey, man, that is good news! Is there any noticeable performance hit from lowering the clock speed?
Actually, the opposite happened, performance has improved. Now if that is because of the extra memory or because it became stable, I don't really know.
Here is the benchmark from before: Generic VGA video card benchmark result - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D,ASRock B650 Pro RS (3dmark.com)

Thanks, I will try this on my 6900 XT. I'm running a different card now but I still have the system disk for that setup.
I would like to also report a possible "fix", and just to be clear, we need to fix because AMD Drivers are broken. AMD needs to improve their driver quality and stability . It would be great if we could hear from AMD about troubleshooting these issues. Dozens of bug reports were sent (with contact data) never to be acknowledged.
In short, disabling the AMD iGPU in BIOS reduced the number of driver timeouts for the last 2 weeks (only 1). This does not solve any issues with games ... Fallout NV, just general stability.
The symptoms: The system was stable with only the iGPU activated. With an older NVIDIA card it was also stable and functional, so I know the system itself is stable. Memory was tested with MEMTEST with 0 errors, with and without EXPO. Swapped to the 7900 xt with a fresh install of windows 11. All drivers and BIOS are/were up to date, with no change in stability. Benchmarking and gaming was stable and as expected but when the system was left without user input for an apparent random amount of minutes it would black screen with driver timeout. Many times with no successful recovery until a forced reboot. System coming from sleep was most of the time also resulting in black screens with no recovery.
The system was a little more stable with 23.12 compared to any 24. but not reliable in any case. None of the "fixes" worked like Performance mode, installing without Adrenalin, ULPS disabled.
Some clues:
After months of trying, during my fumbling for some reason or another I connected one of my displays to the iGPU DP (to be clear, having a display connected to that port was not the standard config). Every time I powered my computer it was aparent that the iGPU starting sending a signal to the display before the discrete one kicked in and activated my primary monitor.
When coming out of sleep the same happened.
The same when the display was reactivated from power management idle display off.
Several times, when the discrete card timed out to a black screen, the iGPU connected monitor starting showing the image.
So in the all too common frustration of using my PC with an AMD card, I disabled the iGPU and discarded the supposed advantages of an all AMD system ( incl. the black screens). Thus far the system seems stable even with 24.4.1 with the amazing performance in 2024 of showing a screen when coming from sleep and not having to reset the system several times a day. I will report back if it all keeps running well.
So AMD, what is happening when both cards are active? What settings should be actived and why is the software not managing them both well? Will gladly further troubleshoot the issue but we need your help. Maybe Steve needs to take a look at AMD again...helped with the ASUS MB .
