My PC and the issues with RX 7800 XT
I built my first PC in October 2024 with the following components:
• CPU: AMD 5 7600
• GPU: RX 7800 XT
• RAM: 32 GB Corsair 6400Hz
• PSU: Gigabyte 650W 80+ Gold
• SSD: M.2 Kingston
Since building the PC, I’ve been experiencing GPU-related issues. Here’s what I’ve encountered:
Games that run without problems:
• Roblox – No issues.
• Minecraft – No issues.
Games with crashes:
• Fortnite – Constant crashes (blue screen or freezes).
• Marvel Rivals – Crashes.
• CS:GO – Initially had crashes but now runs stable.
• Black Ops 6 – Worked fine at first but later started crashing with blue screens.
• Final Fantasy 16 – Increasing crashes after 1 hour of gameplay, needing Task Manager to force close.
What I’ve tried to fix the issue:
• Installing the latest drivers – Did not fix issues with Fortnite and newer games.
• Installing older drivers – My PC crashed, reporting driver incompatibility.
• Reinstalling Windows (without a USB stick) – After wiping all data and reinstalling drivers, the issue persisted.
• Using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) – Did not solve the problem.
• Installing the 23.9.1 driver (more stable) – The problem remained, and the older driver might be incompatible with newer games.
• Configuring XMP/EXPO settings – I enabled XMP/EXPO for my RAM, but the issue persists.
What I’ve already tested:
• Clean driver installation – Used DDU, but the problem persists.
• Reinstalling games – Reinstalled the problematic games, but crashes continue.
• Monitoring temperatures – CPU and GPU temperatures stay below 70°C, ruling out overheating as the cause.
• Installing a stable driver (23.9.1) – Installed a recommended stable driver, but the issue wasn’t resolved.
• Configuring XMP/EXPO settings – The RAM runs at optimized parameters, but the crashes still happen.
I hope this list helps someone facing a similar issue. If you have suggestions or solutions, I’m open to any recommendations!
