I bought those parts and have been using them for like a month, at start everything worked correctly. After around a week driver timeouts started to appear. Over time though, maybe with a drivers update or something they stopped. Two or three days ago they came back. The pattern mostly is the same.

- run a game
- get into any slightly gpu intensive moment (mostly just loading a game after being in the menu)
- video freezes for 3-5 seconds
- screens go black for a second or so
- i get a drivers timeout message, and amd adrenaline software crashes

It makes a lot of games just unplayable as you can imagine.

I will also point out that it already happened as well when

- PC booted up (right after loading the windows desktop)
- while watching YT videos
- while just idle

I already tried:

- updating drivers
- downgrading drivers
- reinstalling drivers
- doing a factory settings reset
- i reinstalled windows

Hey!

 

I have the same problem!

Have you figured out a way to fix this? I have a new built computer with the RX 6950XT, with the exact same problem.
