PC Building

[tylzrr]

I bought a pre built ROG pc back in 2020, It originally came with a GTX 1650 and 1x16GB stick of ram.

I recently purchased;
XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT 210 RADEON RX 6600
TeamGroup T-FORCE VULCAN Z 32GB (2x16GB)

Booted in safe mode, Properly deleted Nvidia Drivers using DDU, installed AMD drivers.

Mostly everything works fine but when tabbed in on a game with youtube or netflix on my 2nd monitor it starts to flicker and freeze. The video timer continues and so does audio.

When I exit a game an error pops up that says "AMD software detected that a driver timeout has occurred on your system..." and when I pull up youtube and netflix after running a game on my main monitor it acts the same way when on my seccond monitor until I refresh the page (ctrl+shift+win+b doesnt work)

I borrowed a 1000W PSU to rule out power instability but it still didn't fix it.

Games ran fine before but I really wasn't playing any demanding games other than Cyberpunk at low settings, although I did get a fps boost on Cyberpunk games like 'Kingdom Come Deliverance 1', where I have specs ABOVE recommended run like crap and I'm not sure why

Could all of these be their own issues, maybe there is still some hidden Nvidia drivers interfering with my current AMD drivers, or maybe I bought a dud and it needs to be sent back.

I'm so desperate that I've put up with it for a month and willing to do anything to try to fix it. Any suggestion will help.

Spec:

Driver: 24.12.1

CPU: Intel Core i5 10400 @ 2.90GHz

RAM: T-FORCE VULCAN Z 32GB (2x16GB)

GPU: XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT 210 RADEON RX 6600

OS: WIN 11

PSU: 550W

What make and model of 550wtt power supply are you using? 650wtt quality PSU is recommended

Is your motherboard's BIOS up to date?

Do you have the latest chipset drivers installed from Intel website?

[Bmacek01]

Are you using the AMD Adrenalin software, or just letting Windows Update install the latest WHQL driver?

It might be worth trying the opposite of whichever you're doing.  

If that doesn't work, you might try installing a previous level of AMD driver, in case it's an undocumented problem with the latest driver release.

You are using the recommended version of the Adrenalin driver, so that's good.  Have you tried just using one monitor?  Are you using a quality display port (DP) cable or a quality HDMI cable?  Many people don't think that quality cables between the monitor and the GPU are that important, but they can be the cause of flickering and things of this nature.
