Might not be the drivers if you clean installed it

#

clean your RAM's contact pins with a dry cloth without applying much pressure

#

and reseat it

#

also did this start happening after a recent windows update?

#

could try system restore if you have it enabled

If the GPU driver crashes after using DDU, the main suspect is a faulty GPU.

#

Ideally you would test the GPU in a different PC, or a different GPU in that PC, but that's not possible for most people.

#

also what kind of crashes? black screen? BSODs? or the game just closes

What card are you using? What’s your PC specs?

#

And have you undervolted or oc’d? If more than 1 connector please ensure not using Daisy chain too. This sounds stupid but simple power delivery even within spec causes issues

PC specs:

  • Ryzen 5 7600
  • RX 6800
  • MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI
  • RAM Corsair CMH32GX5M2B6000Z30

The crashes vary from:

  • total screen disconnection (for a couple of seconds after that it will return to continuing the screen from what i was doing)

  • Screen lags out and becomes like 1 fps for like 10 seconds

  • Screen freezes couple of seconds

  • Always after the crashes it shows a AMD alert somtimes saying my drivers are not up to date and it sometimes says driver crash or something

I did nothing complicated with my PC (like settings or overclocking). Only thing I did is XMP on and changed some RAM timings a couple months back but never had a issue.

@lofty kernel @tame surge @forest folio Thank you for the replies

#

The crashes started happening after 1 AMD update I think. I was in a game and got an automated update I think I remeber that's what started the bugs. I don't know if it was an automated driver update or just AMD adrenaline software update

#

I’m on Windows 10 btw.

#

But I can play a game for like 1 hout before it crashes and sometimes it doesnt even crash.

Disable c state and all power saving options on hardware

#

And software

#

Install windows 11 (kinda tough. The drivers do work better on it and 10 won’t be supported soon)

#

Play a game with the stats overlay monitoring cpu, power, ram and gpu, all the key stats for usage and utilisation and clock speeds

#

Note what happens/screenshot when you get a crash.

#

That’s the first step to try and identify what looks wrong and what component you may need to target if it persists

#

After the crash

#

Will do the things you noted

#

Damn crashed again 2 minuts later

#

When crash this is the order:

Screen freeze (can still hear things) -> video gets disconnected (like you pull out HDMI (that screen)) -> screen comes back to live -> error alerts pop up -> screen is in 1 fps -> everything back to normal

What you described happens to me only on Minecraft when undervolting. Every other game with my undervolt and benchmark is fine. For some reason Minecraft always runs at stock mv for my 7800xt, very tiny fluctuation. So seen what you’re describing but it could take some finding out for what causes it for you
