Hello everyone,

I would like to ask if anyone else is experiencing the same issues as me and perhaps has a solution.

My system:

OS: WINDOWS 11 PRO, currently 24H2

CPU: 7800 X3D

GPU: AORUS Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX ELITE 24G (Rev 1.0)

MB: ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E

RAM: G.SKILL 32 GB KIT DDR5 6000MHz CL30 Trident Z5 NEO RGB for AMD

Cooling: Arctic liquid freezer II 240 ARGB

PSU: FSP/Fortron HYDRO G 1000 PRO, 80PLUS GOLD

SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade

Several times a weeks, sometimes even during one day, everything freezes for about 10-15 sec, then my monitors go dark like when you restart a GPU driver for about 10-15 sec and then everything comes back up, and I'm left with an AMD bug report tool about a driver timeout.

I have tried following:

reinstall Windows - didn't help

reset bios settings - didn't help

underclock GPU - didn't help

different GPU driver version - didn't help

GPU driver only (no Adrenaline) - didn't help

This problem has been occuring for me for several months already and at this I strongly suspect my GPU is dying on me. Thank you for any suggestions.

It sounds like you have tried a lot and I am sorry for your situation. I am sure some of this is redundant but with the language you used I am not 100% you did the following, so please understand I am just trying to help:

You mentioned you reset your bios, but did you update your bios? 

You said you used a different GPU driver version, but did you use DDU to make sure there was no remnants of the old drivers before installing the new ones?

I am assuming your temps are good?
Make sure you are using dedicated GPU cables, I've seen people use the daisy chain ones and connect one connector into two of the GPU power slots.

If possible test your system with another PSU.

Run MemTest86 to verify your ram stability. Might also try disabling EXPO temporarily.

Test your GPU in another system, if that's not possible maybe run your system with another GPU.

Hello Cin,

apologies for the late response, AMD just now notified me.

Yes, I have updated my BIOS.

Yes, I do use DDU to uninstall old drivers. I even unplugged ethernet cable on fresh install so Windows doesn't automatically download drivers that I do not want.

Temps seem to be okay, worst I have had on CPU is 86 celsius in cinebench, for GPU it's mostly 60s with hotspot going way higher (up to 107 celsius, but that is with stock overclock, which I don't use, mostly it's about 80-90 celsius).

I use 3 separate GPU power cables.

I tried not turining on EXPO, did not help.

Currently I'm in a state of testing disabling MPO (Multi-Plane Overlay), it has been two days and so far no crashes.

I will update if I think this solved the issue.
