Hello everyone. I have been experiencing periodic crashes of the AMD video driver for half a year now. I always update the video driver as soon as the latest version comes out. I always reinstalled the drivers, first deleting the old ones using a special AMD utility. The computer configuration is as follows:
Processor - AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
Mother - Gigabyte B500 Aorus Elite V2
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws V 32Gb
Video card - AsRock RX 7900XTX Phantom Edition
Drive - Kingston KC3000 1Tb
PSU - Chieftec Proton 1000W
The crashes are absolutely random, i.e. I can easily play, for example, Dead Space Remake or Baldurs Gate 3 at maximum settings in 2K resolution and not get a single crash, but I can get 2-3 crashes in half an hour of playing Elden Ring. Moreover, in some games, when there is a crash, the game only freezes for a short time and then continues to work, and in some it leads to a black screen and a subsequent crash to the desktop.
I will also note that I undervolted the card, because without this, the hotspot flies over 100 degrees, and the delta of the Hotspot - the GPU temperature is more than 30 degrees. Under undervolting, the temperature in the worst case was 95 degrees, and the delta up to 25 degrees. The settings are as follows:
I thought it was the memory that was heating up, so I decided to watch. The maximum temperature of the GPU memory was 95 degrees, although I am alarmed by the fact that it only drops below 70 degrees in the simplest games.
Please tell me what tests can be done, what to check, whether the problem could be in other components and how best to check it. I read that SOME people are helped by rolling back to older versions of the driver, but not everyone.
What is your offset, I had the same issues. But changed my offset from -40 to -30 and my crashes stopped. My crashes were only during gaming. It was stable for every thing else. Try that and see if it helps
I have almost same sign's, plus visual artefact's at few game. It starts at like July 25 in game named The First Descendant, i thought that's in game trouble and just play with my quality settings, but it helps not a lot. But today i start playing Days Gone and it returns to me at different game.
PC build AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core, motherboard MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX, ssd Kingston KC3000 1TB,
Kingston Fury DDR4-3200 32768 MB PC4-25600. I don't know what actually do, i tried backup drivers version, changing settings at adrenaline, ingame settings and nothing helps.
Idk bout your over heating issues, but check your frequency and try thing.
I've found that my graphics card will boost past 3200mhz and cause AMD drivers time out. Usually this gets fixed for every game with driver updates and game updates and they stabilize after awhile and these crashes wont happen or at least in frequently (best examples I can think of are Baulders Gate 3 and Helldivers 2.) Basically I've used Adrenalin tuning to make my 7900xtx unable to boost past 3000mhz by setting the maximum limit to 2500mhz, power limit -10%, and Vram max frequency to 2600. It'll still boost to 2900mhz so I'm going to play around with this and see how high I can get it before the crashes come back. The graphical quality drops quiet a bit because my settings are so low, but my FPS is stable.
Try starting with these settings and if its stable with little or no crashes try going up. If you are getting crashes still try going even further down. This game is just a beta and with updates and a driver update you should be able to get much better performance on launch. This took me like a full day to figure out.
here's a helpful link where people discuss this way more in-depth.

let me know if this helped you as I'd really like to know more about this issue, as this is just a work around so the game is playable and not much of a fix seeing as how you have to nerf your card to make it playable.
