I have been having AMD driver timeout issue ever since I installed new parts in my PC back in 2024.
I upgraded my GPU, CPU, RAM, and motherboard in 2024
GPU: AMD Radeon 7800xt
RAM: kingston fury DDR5 32gb
Motherboard: Gigabyte x870 Eagle Wifi7
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900x
I am having consistent driver timeouts when playing games. My screen will freeze, turn black, and then ultimately close the game or application after about a minute. I can still hear audio when this happens. This only happens during games and will happen during any kind of game, no matter how intensive it is. I assumed this was due to a faulty new GPU, so I exchanged the GPU out for an older one I had, a 5700xt. I still had crashes, but they were not happening at the rate from when I had the 7800xt. I also sent in my 7800xt under warranty and received a new 7800xt, but still had same issue. I then assumed it was a power supply issue. My power supply was an 8 year old 1200w, so I replaced it with a brand new 1000w just recently. I am now having the crashes at a much more frequent rate. CPU and GPU temperatures are normal.
Things I have tried:
- 3 different GPUs
-Installed new power supply
-Uninstalled drivers via DDU
-Installed older graphics drivers
-Factory reset PC with a fresh install of windows
-Upgraded PC to Windows 11 recently
-Debloated my PC and got rid of the Windows 11 startup crap
-Disabled hardware acceleration
-Disabled discord/steam overlays, uninstalled Medal
-Used 1 monitor instead of 2
-Updated BIOS
If anyone could share advice, it would be much appreciated as I am not very tech savvy. I have learned a lot through this process though Lol. Been having this issue since 2024 and the crashes are happening much more frequently and have tried so much... I am genuinely going crazy. Thank you
