Hello there,
so my problem started pretty much day one after purchasing the RX6600 xt back in August. I have been getting the black screen on start-up since driver patch 21.8.1 up to the very recent 21.10.2.
My trouble solving attempts included, OS reinstall, buying new MoBo (B350->B550), new OS (Win10 Home → Pro and Manjaro KDE), new GPU (warranty). Nothing changed in the end, except my estimated life expectancy…
At last the only constant that never let me down in short-time reliefs from this nightmare have been CMOS resets. Everytime I change something in the BIOS, like case fan speed curves, SAM, clockrates or the likes my days of happiness were numbered. It usually takes a few days after BIOS tweaks, sometimes 1-2 weeks, until the inevitable happens.
So does anyone have or has had in the past anything similar and knows how to fix it for good? any help is greatly appreciated.
