PC Drivers & Software

[madness10]

I have tried to update to all of the new drivers after 18.9.3 with the AMD driver uninstall. The problem I'm having is that when the computer idles for more than, lets say 1 hour, the computer freezes. No response from keyboard or mouse. It's like the computer is in a deep sleep. No problems if 18.9.3 is installed. I have done the SFC with no errors. Here are the specs for my computer.

Check your power settings and make sure your system is set to "never sleep."

[madness10]

Always do that. Also set all of the timers to off.

Did some investigating and found the problem is when my Mitsu TV is plugged in for second monitor. It has never been a problem before except for the current drivers. My tv is in the living room and I sometimes stream from computer to tv.

Problem solved. Was a bad HDMI cable.

False alarm. New HDMI cable and same thing. I noticed that when I restart, there's an error about waltman defaulted due to a failure.

Looks like the problem might be in the new feature of Radeon drivers. The Radeon advisor settings. I've been experimenting with the 3 different settings and going back to default and trying out another one. Its in there somewhere.

Problem solved. It was the Creative drivers for my X Fi Titanium sound card. Took it out and install the Realtek drivers for the onboard sound and everything is perfect now.
