PC Drivers & Software

[carpage]

Tried going from windows 11 to 10 done basically everything riot suggested. Every time about a minute after I open my game I get pc freezes every few seconds that last a few seconds. Sometimes I get a graphics driver crashed error from valorant, sometimes I get a graphics driver timeout from adrenalin. I'm on driver version 24.12.1 if that helps.

Try the solution from this post and if it works for you leave a like so other people will see it as well.

Hi, sorry if I'm just missing something obvious. What exactly is the solution in that post? If it is just looking at the metrics overlay, where do I find it? You say in your solution that idle usage goes up to 20-30W, mine is at 80W around 600-700mV with just browser and adrenalin open. Is that possibly a problem?

The solution is to have the metrics overlay activated all the time and set to maximum transparency so that it does not bother you.

This increases the voltage.

It shows 80W because you have adrenalin open. If you close it, the power consumption gets around 20W.

Well I did that. Can't get an error message this time for some reason. Basically the whole pc just freezes for like 2-3 seconds every 5 or so seconds.
