Hi all
I hope someone will have an idea about this, because I'm out of them.
I purchased a new 6800 card from amd at which arrived 27/11/20. I simply switched out my 5700 xt strix to install.
Everything works fine, it's a great card. However, every 10 or so days, randomly my third monitor will go black and the computer will freeze and reboot.
This only happens when I'm watching twitch or a youtube video, it's never happened during gaming.
The only changes to seeings I've made on the card was to turn off zero mode on the fans, and left it at the stock fan curve.
Reliability /event viewer show nothing but kernel power error.
I've reinstalled the card, I've ddu the drivers and reinstalled, I've bought a upc, I've tried my 5700 strix back in which doesn't incur this issue, I've run sfc scan now and other command checks which return no concerns, who crashed finds no dump files.
Every time you hope it'll be fixed, it surprises you out of the blue.
I'm positive the psu is fine, the upc made no difference also. However since putting it on the upc the crash was slightly different, rather than just my third monitor going off and the computer freezing, everything went off at the same time.
