Drivers & Software

[1c0n4]

My driver keeps turning off my second monitor and crashing randomly or while playing games which causes it to crash even faster than usual. Games I play that almost always crash my driver within 30 - 40mins: League Of Legends, Valorant, Overwatch 2.

Steps I took to try and fix this issue:

- Updated the driver to the newest version

- Upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11

- Uninstalled the driver using DDU in Safe Mode and installed the newest version again.

The issue still persists and I don't know what else to do. 

My graphics card is RX 560.

I did not have this issue before (I have been using two monitors and the same specs for a year) and it only started about a week ago. The only thing that's changed is that I swapped my Hard Disk to a bigger one. My SSD where I have my Windows and all the drivers stayed the same.

If anyone has any recommendation on what else to try I would be really thankful since it's starting to become pretty annoying.

I read more and more people have these issues. Me included. Im using a 7900 XTX card. My problems seems to have started after latest driver update. Not 100% sure tho.

Ive experienced ATLEAST one crash per day after recent driver update. Yesterday was crash free. It can just be luck but what I did was:

turn off MPO
Turn off Image Sharpening
Started using Firefox

What makes the most sense is the Firefox thing. During 9/10 of the crashes Ive had Google Chrome up and running. Never happened when Ive switched browser.
