Drivers & Software

[dave_zilla]

I bought a 7800XT recently and doesn't matter what GPU driver i install, this message pops up randomly making me re-install. Do i need a BIOS update, or might it be motherboard or CPU issues? Any help appreciated.

Hardware - Ryzen 5 5600X, B450-F MB, ASRock Phantom RX 7800 XT

(edit: i updated the BIOS end of Oct last year when i got the 5600x)

Probably Windows update replacing driver, guides on the web to block driver update from them.

I'll look into that thanks, but not sure that is the issue. I've been through changing, updating drivers the past few days before Avatar came out, so it was literally happening within 24hrs. I'll keep an eye on it and look into the Win update.

You are probably right @dave_zilla try following these two guides.

After following these guides, use DDU or AMD Cleanup Utility to remove the old drivers and download the ones from the AMD support page.

ah cool thanks. i've paused the update until 3rd Jan, and i've changed the setting in the update too. hopefully this fixes, soon know :))

Looks like this is resolved. No driver problems since taking control of windows update. BUT...I also found that the windows display settings were causing huge problems. I had HDR set on and it was putting my monitor to 60hz (should be 165). So games i've been playing have been shockingly bad and looking washed out. Resolved this yesterday and now things are spot on. PHEW!!
