Drivers & Software

freeze when launching games in fullscreen

As stated in the title I cannot launch most games in fullscreen mode, they freeze permanently after a few seconds, not the normal kind of freeze either, it messes with task manager as well (icons disappear way fewer tasks than there should be, etc...),  I can close the window, however it is impossible to kill the frozen application, even taskkill /F doesn't do the trick, I have to restart my PC every single time this happens.

I've already tried a lot, and I mean a lot of things, to name a few:

  • disabling most options in "AMD Software : Adrenaline Edition" (including freesync)
  • rolling back my drivers
  • updating my drivers through windows
  • removing all AMD software and drivers before reinstalling them
  • disabling MPO
  • and probably a lot more I don't remember

Using the following hardware and OS if that helps:

  • Windows 11 Pro
  • Ryzen 5 7600
  • RX 6650xt
  • 32 GB ram
  • 750W power supply

I'm ashamed to admit this but the issue was caused by plugging my HDMI cable to the motherboard and not to the graphics card.

Disabling the integrated graphics and connecting my monitor's HDMI cable to the graphics card fixed my issues.

Sounds like a Dedicated GPU Issue so just as a quick check i recommend removing the 6650XT and just run the pc off the integrated Graphics to isolate the GPU as the issue.

Yes thank you for the tip, I just removed it, and it doesn't crash when using the integrated graphics

So im thinking its prob the card but it could still be a driver issue do you have another PC that you can test the GPU in?

Disable the integrated graphics, and check that the 6650 driver is correctly installed.

Ryzen 5 5600x, B550 aorus pro ac, Hyper 212 black, 2 x 16gb F4-3600c16dgtzn kit, NM790 2TB, Nitro+RX6900XT, RM850, Win.10 Pro., LC27G55T..

I disabled the driver for the integrated graphics and made sure my drivers were the latest using adrenaline, but yeah sadly it still doesn't work
