Adrenaline driver problem?
Hi there, good morning.
Last months I had a lot of system freezing which caused a lot of trouble to my graphic design day by day work. I was doubting about my DDR memory performance G.SKILL Trident Z RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR43200MHz (PC4 25600) F4-3200C16D-16GTZR and for my graphic card XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Radeon RX 6600 CORE - 8 GB GDDR6 HDMI 3xDP, AMD RDNA 2 RX-66XL8LFDQ as well. I'm using the Smart Ram of Advance System Care, manually cleaning the RAM every 20-30 minutes.
However the strange thing is that freezing happened as well during the IDLE stage when the system wasn't stressed with the design work (Adobe Illustrator). Every time when this is happening I had to force the system restart from the power button and this caused to me a lot of problems because many times the current work file was damaged and lost.
A couple of days before the Adrenaline was updated to 23.2.2 version (I always did this when new available versions came) and I had only a couple of crashes only in 2 days. Usually I had 5-6 crashes every day . I set the Adrenaline settings as Default.
What do you think? Were the former Adrenaline versions causing this freezing problem? Oh, I must say that my PC has not any overclock configuration, just normal use.
Thank you

Hi everybody.
Thank you for your opinions.
Problem solved. In fact it's not an Adrenaline problem but the Dragon Center app which comes along with my MSI motherboard. It's a kind of trash. I was thinking about what could be happening, some apps with similar features for the system control could be not compatible so I focused in them, Adrenaline and Dragon. I uninstalled the Dragon Center with a MSI tool and bingo! No more freezing! Later I was reading a lot of bad comments about this DC app, it's doing a very bad job and it's frequently crashing the systems.
So, if you have a good NSI motherboard just install the drivers and do not touch this crap.
Have a great day all of you,
Florin

The MSI motherboard is perfect. I was using this brand several times alternating with Asus and I could say that MSI is one of the best choices. Never damaged, I replaced them only when I was switching from AM2 to AM3 or AM4. Its components are a first line quality.
The problem was this Dragon Center app but not the mobo. It works perfect the Bios have a lot of features for setting the best configuration etc in fact nothing to claim for.
Best,
Florin

If you haven't figured it out yet IT is not the AMD drivers it is Windows installing their legacy drivers on top of AMD Drivers and this has been going on for a very long time and the following link will TELL both of you how to stop it from happening completely if you read the article I have used this on all on my windows 10 pc's before installing and AMD drivers for my video and have also done it on my PC's after the fact of going to Win11 and this includes my NEW PC that I built two months back and have had no issues since doing this. Use bot h AMD clean up and DDU in safe mode to do this and do everything this article says to do. Trust me this works better than doing a roll back all day long
