PC Drivers & Software

[trinimac]

When I play minecraft using my 5700 (5700xt bios) the display driver crashes daily. Windows is able to recover, but all my apps hang. I used to have a Geforce in this PC and that had no issues whatsoever (I used a removal tool to delete the Nvidia driver).

No other game I played have ever crashed my PC with the 5700.

I usually have Firefox in the background playing Youtube.

I have the crash report zip, but I am not sure what is relevant.

I see these errors in the event log

The program javaw.exe version 8.0.51.16 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

I've had the same issue and have take steps to improve the situation, but haven't been able to fix it yet. Here is the best solution I've found so far:

For me in Performance/Tuning setting Tuning Control to Automatic and Auto Tuning to Default solved the issue

That's all I did

Also I updated the motherboard driver

I had the same problem.

Every game runs fine, except Minecraft.

Turns out, something on my card was overheating, as the fans would not turn on.

The reason for the fans not turning on was that the GPU is cold all the time (<50C)

while playing Minecraft.

So the fix for me was to add a special profile in the driver only for Minecraft, configuring

a fixed fan speed of around 1200 rpm.

Hope that helps someone else, took me 3 weeks to figure it out.
