You're looking for the error code that will be about a minute prior to the probable code 41, Kernel-Power System, which indicates a hard reboot happened or crash. The should be a code like "bug check 1001" that would be a driver failure or it may actually say that it was AMD Radeon that crashed. You'll find it under "Event Viewer, Local", look for critical errors in the last hour to 24 hours and warnings that coincide with the time of the crash or slightly before. "Windows Logs" has tabs for "Application" and "System", both would have the same type of info to look for.
However, you can try this. These cards have a wide GPU clock range and sort of "wonky" settings out of the box in general. Go into the Adrenaline software to the "Tuning" area. Select "Automatic" in the overclocking part and accept the meaningless warning. No fear, nothing bad will happen. Select "undervolt GPU" and write the number down. Select "overclock GPU" and write that number down.
Select "Manual" in the same area and enable all the disabled settings. Now manually enter the lower voltage in the box for it or slide the bar until it matches what you wrote down. Set the max GPU clock to that overclock number you got before. Set the minimum to 100Mhz less than the max. You can do this with stock clocks as well, just make sure the min clock is within 100Mhz of the max. Select the "power limit" and slide that to max. This will allow the card to add more voltage if needed under load only. Finally adjust your fans to disable "zero RPM" and you can move the curve up some or leave it be for now. Just make sure the "zero RPM" is off.
So what we did is minimize the clock fluctuation and voltage spiking that occurs during clock speed cycling, which should stabilize the card. It will also make the card really work as intended. I included a Screen shot of my settings for my RX 6800, which is just to show the screen you will be working with. My settings will be different than the 6900 obviously, however the screen and op
I too had Upgraded from the 2080 Super to a AMD RX 6800 XT and had crashing the solution I found was to clock the GPU appropriately. Someone posted "Select overclock GPU and write down that settings" That is what broke for me because the auto over clock set mine to 2440 but the Manufacture said max clock with +200MHz so 2250. When I locked my Max to that I get no Crashes. I use to get constant (but random) driver timeouts or Driver has disconnected (D3D) regardless of game. I did the PSU upgrade, I did the Memory Upgrade. I had no (noticeable) FPS loss in my games.
Hi All,
OK, so just a follow up on my post from yesterday...
Disabled DCOM under dcomcnfg and whalla! The problem has disappeared....
I also made one other change in COD MW/WZ and that is to disable "Dynamic Resolution" or bother setting the "Target Framerate"
It seems to be geared towards NVidia DLSS rather than working on AMD GPU's cards.
Going to re-install the Adrenaline Software Suite and try some testing again.
I can still report a GPU Hotspot Temps, sometimes going as high as 112 °C and average GPU Load is between 95-99 %
Let me know what your experience is... Do try Disabling DCOM first...
