AMD Driver timeout

Hi all,

Since a few days I'm constantly getting the below error message. My screen turns black and I have to wait more than a minute until the screen turns back on. I have the latest driver / AMD software installed, so that's not the issue.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600
CPU: i5 12400
RAM: 16 GB

Thank you in advance.

Disable MPO may help.

Solved: Re: AMD you can do better and more stable drivers. - Page 3 - AMD Community https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-software/amd-you-can-do-better-and-more-stable-drivers/m-p/5540...

Disabling MPO helps if your color depth is 8 bit if its 10 bit it may be different issue.

Issues related to MPO for example may not be all of it.

Main screen blackscreens but second screen does not as MPO only supported om primary screen.

Random blackscreen when alt tabbing or doing a whatsapp video call for example or playing video, even if your video is playing via picture in picture on 2e screen picture in picture is an overlay bassicly moving it on the 2e screen does not make the video playback go on the 2e screen as it still happens on the original screen.

flickering when resizing windows for example.

stuttering and laggy desktop usually followed by blackscreen.

corruption while alt tabbing.

easy fix is if you can turn on 10 bit color depth enable it, or disable MPO fix by adding missing key to registery and if you wanna enable it again you remove it.

MPO stands for multi-plane overlay currently the latest drivers support maxplanes of 3

What MPO does is render game in fullscreen exclusive and then overlays it on screen in fullscreen borderless, games that support flip model optimisations have reduced latency, windows 11 22h2 has option to enable it for old games.

Strongly recommend MPO fix if you are on 8 bit color depth screen

If you force vsync off try disabling MPO as MPO can break hardware acceleration as well disabling MPO you wont have to disable hardware acceleration anymore, assuming it fix it, MPO is already turned off if your display color depth is at 10 bit if its at 8 bit color depth disabling MPO is a very viable fix and problably root cause to all your issues.
