so whenever i play arc raiders after about 5 mins to an hour my gpu "times out" i have tried to down grade my drivers and still nothing

Description of Original Problem: When I use Loupe or basically open any image that has to be scaled down by the AMD 9070XT, I see these artefacts. It is possible to zoom into them, and they are seen in screenshots.

Troubleshooting: I have tried everything, reinstalling, trying nodcc, nohix. None of that helps, I have a friend who runs the exact same config and he says there's no issue. Memory test of the VRAM shows no issues (10 min test).

I haven't seen it on any benchmarks or videos, just images (maybe textures, but haven't played much on this). It doesn't show up on windows though, so I guess thats why they rejected the RMA?

It persists across kernel versions from 6.18.52 to 7.2.8 and Mesa (25.0.7 → 26.3-devel). So I am not sure what to do now, please help.

I tried using and LLM, and I have a Gitlab issue I filed but closed because all runs pointed towards bad silicon.

this was before RMAing, Asus sent the card back to the retailer saying that there was no fault, I am not sure what I can do anymore with this. Suggestions and help would be appreciated!

My CPU Usage is always at 100% on AMD: Adrenaline and Resource Monitor, but not on Task Manager and I can't see what is taking up all the utilization. Do I have a crypto miner on my computer? Windows Defender can't pick anything up.

My drivers are 26.8.1, Windows 26H2, AsRock B650I Lightning Wifi, Ryzen 7800x3D

Solved! I had a custom power plan from a custom script that was messing with the most recent windows update! I changed the power plan and everything is completely fine!

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a comprehensive solution for a frustrating issue with my setup. If your PC randomly black-screens and reboots right in the middle of the AMD Adrenalin installation, or if Windows Update keeps breaking your driver causing the infamous "PA-300 mismatch error", here is the exact 100% working fix.

My Setup:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ Vapor-X RX 7900 XTX 24GB
• MOBO: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi
• RAM: Lexar ARES RGB DDR5 32GB (2x16) 6000 MHz CL30 (SK Hynix Chips)
• PSU: MSI MPG A850G 850W Plus Gold (ATX 3.0)

🛡️ STEP 1: Tri-Layer Windows Update Armor

Before touching any drivers, we must seal Windows 11 on three separate layers to prevent it from downloading generic or corrupted drivers in the background.

1. Layer 1 (The Registry Hack): Open regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching. Change the SearchOrderConfig value to 0. (This completely blocks Windows Update from touching hardware).
2. Layer 2 (System Settings): Press Windows + R, type sysdm.cpl, go to the Hardware tab ➔ Device Installation Settings and select NO.
3. Layer 3 (DDU Setting): Inside DDU options, make sure the box that explicitly prevents Windows from downloading drivers via Windows Update is checked.

🧹 STEP 2: Surgical DDU Clean (Safe Mode)

To ensure a perfect install, we need a complete tabula rasa since the system files are already mixed up:

1. Pre-download the complete "Full Driver" Offline Installer from the AMD website (e.g., version 26.9.2 or later, ~900 MB file) [I].
2. Disconnect your Internet cable (or disable Wi-Fi) for total safety.
3. Boot into Safe Mode (hold Shift while clicking Restart).
4. Open DDU, select GPU ➔ AMD from the dropdown, and click "Clean and Restart". When back into normal Windows (still offline), the corrupted driver fragments will be gone.

🔌 STEP 3: The Power Plan Trick Against Mid-Install Crashes

The Problem: During driver initialization, the 7900 XTX undergoes massive, sudden power state changes. Under standard Windows power plans, this voltage latency triggers aggressive motherboard power protection limits, causing an instant hard reset mid-install.
The Fix:

1. Open Windows Power Options (powercfg.cpl) and activate the hidden "Ultimate Performance" (Prestazioni Eccellenti) plan. This forces the motherboard VRMs to supply steady voltage, eliminating micro-power-saving latencies.
2. Unplug any unnecessary USB charging cables (like mouse/headset chargers) to lower the 5V rail load on the motherboard.
3. Reconnect your Internet (Windows Update is locked now anyway, so it can't interfere).
4. Run the 900 MB AMD Installer. Click on Additional Options and do NOT check "Factory Reset". Choose a standard, direct Standard Installation.
5. Without AMD's forced mid-way reboot and with voltages locked by the power plan, the installer will finish 100% flawlessly! (You can switch back to the Balanced plan afterward for daily usage).

I got a new 9070 XT and yesterday everything was fine until today when i open games they crash like after 5 minutes and i allready used DDU and installed the AMD driver.

hey, i wanted to ask for the most stable drivers of the 9060 xt 16gb because if i use recent drivers (last tested like 5 months ago) i get artifacts on my screen by the time. also, i wanted to ask if i can use adrenaline with older drivers because i havent found a way to use it with older drivers. (i also have a 7800x3d that's perfectly running lol

Hi guys,

I am having an issue with the integrated graphics on my Ryzen 9 9850X3D system.

My specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9850X3D
• GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT PULSE
• Motherboard: ASUS TUF B650-E
• OS: Windows 11 Pro

I removed my current driver using DDU and installed the latest 26.8.1 driver but for some reason, my iGPU is not recognised in task manager and shows up as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter in device manager. I have the latest chipset drivers as well so not sure what is going on. Any help would be appreciated!

Description of Original Problem: Occasional (as in maybe a couple times a day over many hours) sudden HARD drops in frames on PC. Usually drops my framerate to about 10fps, lasts for maybe 5-10 seconds or so, then goes away. I am pretty confident that it only happens when I have a game running, or at least if it happens when I don't have one running, I don't notice. The game does not matter, and there does not seem to be a pattern or a way that I know to reproduce it. I have had days go by where it doesn't happen at all, and some days where it happens a few times. I don't think I've ever had it happen more than maybe 4 or 5 times in one day though, and it usually only happens maybe once or twice a day.

Troubleshooting: I haven't really tried to troubleshoot as this issue doesn't usually annoy me too much, since it happens so occasionally. I have not messed with clock speeds or voltage, RAM is running XMP at 6000MHz, Running up-to-date GPU drivers. This issue has persisted across all updates that I have done, and has been happening for a few months (computer is about a year old, I believe it didn't show up at first but I might be misremembering). GPU is hooked up to 2 200hz 1440p monitors and 1 144hz 1080p monitor.

Mostly just shooting this out there to see if this is an issue anyone else knows about or if anyone has any tips. It's not exactly an urgent issue but if I can fix it I would like to, it's the only recurring issue I've really had with this PC. My best guess is that it either has to do with the riser cable in the case or maybe something to do with the monitors? I've had very occasional issues with these monitors since I got them (random blackscreens and video artifacting that is fixed by shuffling the display cables around, moving them to different monitors or different GPU ports). The 200Hz monitors are SANSUI brand, they are the ones that have the occasional issues. The 144Hz monitor is LG and has never had issues, at least not that I remember.

Thanks in advance for any advice or help!

It recently came to my attention that my non paged pool of RAM is a little higher than what seems to be average. I don't seem to be experiencing a memory leak, but when I boot my computer up it is already at 1.4 GB. I did a clean install of drivers with the AMD clean up tool and without any drivers installed the non paged pool was at 450 MB. The instant that I installed drivers it was back up to 1.4 GB like it was before. I also asked a buddy of mine with a similar AMD video card and his was also at 1.4 GB. Does this amount seem normal for AMD drivers? Everywhere I look online says that number is too high. I want to just make sure the health of my system is intact, I haven't experienced any performance loss from it though. I have a 9070XT and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM.

So I finally decided to upgrade to fedora 44 but I've noticed that since doing so, I've had my system just randomly freeze up and kick me back to my login screen when I'm gaming. Some games it's sooner, some it's later. This didn't happen prior to the upgrade and now I'm lamenting it. I'm honestly unsure but from what I've read online from others, it seems linked to a possible vram issue. Ive tried making sure everything is updated and to allocate enough vram but nothing seems to work. I'm admittedly still kind of a linux novice so I'm of ideas and really frustrated. Unsure if anyone has any pointers or things I can try to fix this.

I'm on, well, fedora 44, using a radeon 7900 xt. I'm not really sure what other information is needed but I'll provide whatever I can if it fixes this.

This has been happening for a few months. I’ll play a game or sometimes just leave my computer on, but mostly when playing a game, and everything will freeze, my iCue loses connection and resets, then the screen goes black until it reboots itself or I do it. Most of the time everything is normal after, but sometimes the driver gets disabled and pops up with a code 31 but another restart will fix it. I have a 9070xt and I’ve done ddu a few times which made the problem less consistent but it still happens like once a day. Is there a fix or do I need to RMA my gpu?

Everytime i open nba 2k27 my pc automatically goes black screen then restarts, same problem with others games too but only when there's a lot happening in other games.

Hello guys, I was trying to setup and eyefinity for the first time after moving away from team green. Well , I run a 3+1 configuration, with 3 1080p monitors used for simracing and one QHD for shooters etc. Well, while using the app's guided setup it keeps including the QHD screen as a fourth screen. Is there any way I can use it as a primary screen and the triples as a separate "single screen" like I used to ? TIA

I know there's a million posts about this but genuinely it feels meaningless going through them because half the answers are people saying it's too high and the other half are people saying it's normal.

My 9800x3d with a Dark Rock Pro 6 which is a top tier air cooler reaches 90c in Cinebench2026 multithread, 80c+ sometimes when loading shaders, idle is 48-50 and during gaming its mostly 60-70 with some games 60-75.

I know it doesn't matter and it can run at 95c 24/7 completely fine and all that but still I would like to get a concrete answer for this

Description of Original Problem: I know this is a long shot but I'll try anyway - So, I have a radeon vega 56 (powercolor red devil) card, which I've bought on ebay a while ago but never really used. I would like to sell it now but as I started to test it turned out it has some issues. As a red devil card it has 3 bios, one silent, a normal and an OC version. The silent and OC bios working OK, can run Furmark or Heaven indefinetely but with the standard bios any tests or games crash immediately. Also with all the bioses GPU-Z cannot determine what card it is, returns only with AMD RADEON VEGA, also unable to access frequency sensors - power consuption and temp sensors are OK. I would guess someone at some point in the past was tampering with the bios but I lack the knowledge and skills to fix this - any ideas as to what's going on and what can I do about it? 

Help, i have had my pc for 1.5 years now suddenly my 7800xt isnt recognised by my pc. Its display port doesnt even function but its led is on.

Hi everyone,

I have issues with my computer, since i changed the graphics card from a 3060TI, to an RX9070XT, december last year. So close to a year ago.

The issue, and it happens alot. The computer reboots (crashes with a memory dump), when it's idle and the displays are off (I have 3 monitors).

The specs of the PC:

• CPU: Intel i5-13600K (BIOS updated with the latest microcode fixes – 0x12B/0x12F)
• GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition
• RAM: 32GB DDR5 @ 6400 MT/s
• PSU: Seasonic SS-760XP2 (2020, ~6 years old, 760W)
• OS: Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100)
• Driver: Latest Adrenalin (multiple versions tested)

It never crashes when it's actively being used. So nothing under gaming or any 3d work.

I've used windbg to analyse the crash dump, and then gotten AI to summarize it for me, and it has come up with this:

Crash technical details (WinDbg, !analyze -v on MEMORY.DMP):

INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR (a0)

→ nt!PopFxProcessWork
→ nt!PopFxDispatchPluginWorkOnce
→ nt!PopFxProcessWorkPool
→ nt!PopFxStaticWorkPoolThread

Interpretation:

Windows' Power Framework (PoFx) dispatches a runtime idle-state transition to the GPU via dxgkrnl!DxgkPowerRuntimeComponentIdleStateCallback. The AMD kernel-mode display driver (amdkmdag.sys) enters the callback and blocks indefinitely – notably with a KeStallExecutionProcessor busy-wait near the top of the stack. The PoFx watchdog detects the blocked work order and triggers bugcheck 0xA0 (subcode 0x618: power worker thread blocked too long), followed by a controlled reboot.

Crashes occur exclusively when transitioning to idle (displays going to sleep) – never under load (games, OCCT, benchmarks all stable). No WHEA errors, no Cache Hierarchy Errors, ruling out the known 13th/14th Gen Raptor Lake degradation signature. Complete MEMORY.DMP written at crash time, ruling out sudden power loss (PSU). Occurs across multiple Adrenalin driver versions (clean DDU installs)

Has anyone else experienced similar with an AMD card ? And potentially found a solution ?
I've tried to disable as much as possible regarding low power states. But nothing seems to help.

I could potentially fix it by just never letting the computer turn off the monitors. But it's oled, so I would very much like to avoid that.

I'm considering RMA'ing the card, but it's a bit of a hassle since i don't have a spare card i can use.

This was the clock before my PC crashed. I had this issue a few months back and this is the replacement card I got this week.

I know I can give -ve clocks but even on my old card this was ignored. I have a 3070ti which runs wonderfully on the same pc, that's why I still think it's a GPU/amd software issue.

What can I do?

The above clocks were recorded while playing FH6 no RT.

Description of Original Problem:

Hi,

I just got a 9070 XT, and i'm having issues with AMD in game replay using AMD Adrenalin software.

Current settings: I have desktop recording set as off (prefer to keep it this way), Overlay is on, instant replay is on, the red indicator is on also.

Issue: Instant replay works fine most of the time (I am playing CS2 in borderless fullscreen). I also have discord overlay running (to see who is on the discord channel in game). The issue is sometimes the overlay glitches in game and the indicator dissapears, and I can no longer save clips in game or use the overlay. I assume it's because AMD is not recognizing CS2 as a game?

I also prefer to keep CS2 in borderless fullscreen, since setting it as fullscreen will break discord overlay.

If i Alt tab a few times it works again.

Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks!

Troubleshooting: I Tried uninstalling, re-installing, alt tabbing a few times fixes it, tried it full screen it works fine appearently

I have a 9070xt Saphire pulse with a 9700x gygabite b850 wifi6 MB

Currently it has inconsistant crashes while playing and sometimes while just watching youtube and browsing it starts with no signal message on the screen yet the pc is on i can still hear whaatever video or game or discord sound for a few moments and the keyboard is still responsive but 10-30 seconds in the keyboard is no longer responsive and the sounds cut off and the pc is still on the gpu fan is still working

it can go a week without crashing and then one day it crashed 4 times consecutively

and a couple of times i had to remove it and install it again for the pc to boot up
i managed to catch one of the crashes on video once while i was filming a different problem i am going to try to RMA it in a couple of days just wanted help knowing what to tell them because i did stress test it using furrmark and occt and no errors showed then

some people told me it's because i have a 4th gen nvme in a 5th gen slot tried it and it still crashed some said it's the cpu and ram and i tested thos aswell and nothing came up

this is the most recent crash: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z3IEu0gckhf1LWhyXt1PbrrqPVr8t9zZ/view?usp=sharing

This is the crash i managed to get it while it happened:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V1NUT5lKrrSBVodhmrmucIIOLx6lfLc1/view?usp=sharing

Any Advice on how to go about this?

thanks in advance
