PC Drivers & Software

When playing any game, if I use Alt+tab, there's a good chance Amd Adrenaline will freeze. The screen turns gray on my primary monitor, and my secondary screen just freezes. Everything is then unresponsive. I can wait and get an error from Adrenaline, after which I can restart Adrenaline and restart the game. Or I will have to reset my pc.

This is on a fresh install Windows 10, I have updated Windows. Driver is updated to the latest version as well. I found the problem only occurs when I set my monitor to 240 Hz (through Windows settings). If I put it on 144 Hz, I can alt+tab all I want but it will work just fine.

Could someone help me fix this?

In order to fix it for now, you would probably have to roll your drivers back to 22.5.1.

This is an issue AMD drivers have had for about 6 months, 240hz monitor and 60hz secondary monitor here, adrenaline esplode during tabbing between game and browser.

The latest driver 22.11.2 claims to have fixed the issue per this note.

Fixed Issues

• During video playback and window switching, an intermittent driver timeout or black screen may occur on Radeon™ RX 6000 series GPUs using some 240Hz refresh rate displays or high refresh rate primary display plus low refresh rate secondary display configurations.

This from my experience is simply not true, still adrenaline boom boom.

Thanks this works for now! Hopefully the next driver update will have this fixed.
