PC Drivers & Software

[gggjimmy]

I have a RX 590 that can't keep maximum factory frequency for an year now. I fixed the problem slightly underclocking it, from 1550mhz max to 1450. It worked perfectly like that for an year already. However, recently I got a new SSD and did a clean installation of windows. I downloaded the driver, installed it, restarted, and then went to adjust clocks. And everytime I underclock it a bit, my pc crashes. It takes some seconds to up a minute to crash. And I already know that my GPU isn't able to work at the standard clock, and there is no way to underclock it on BIOS. What do I do???

After a clean installation of Windows 10 and reinstalling the graphics driver for your AMD RX 590 graphics card, you're experiencing stability issues when trying to underclock it. To address this problem:

• Ensure you have the latest GPU drivers from AMD and consider using a tool like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall and reinstall the drivers.
• Check for Windows updates to improve system stability.
• Monitor GPU temperature to prevent overheating and investigate power supply adequacy.
• Check for a BIOS update for your motherboard.
• Run hardware diagnostics tests to ensure your GPU and other components are functioning correctly.
• If you previously overclocked your GPU, revert it to default settings.
• If the problem persists, consider another clean Windows installation.
• Contact AMD support for further assistance if needed.

Always back up important data before making significant system changes and exercise caution when adjusting GPU settings.
