Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue with random black screens and complete system freezes while gaming.
I had a very similar problem almost a year ago, but it stopped happening and I haven’t had any issues for a long time. However, after updating to Adrenalin 26.8.1, I experienced another black screen while playing a game.
The screen suddenly went completely black and the PC completely froze. I couldn’t do anything and had to hold the power button to shut the PC down and restart it.
The strange thing is that this has only ever happened while gaming. I can use Windows, browse the internet, watch videos, etc. without any problems.
My PC specs:
● GPU: AMD RX 9060 XT 16GB
● CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X
● Motherboard: ASUS PRIME A620M-K
● RAM: 32GB DDR5 (2×16GB) 6000MHz
● PSU: XPG Core Reactor II 850W
● Monitors: 2 monitors
Some additional information:
● HAGS is disabled
● Windows driver automatic updates are disabled
● No CPU or RAM overclocking
● No GPU overclocking
● No GPU undervolting
● Everything is running at stock settings
● The black screen/freezes only happen while gaming
I’m not sure what is causing it. The PSU should be more than sufficient, and the system is otherwise stable.
Could this be a GPU driver issue with Adrenalin 26.8.1, or should I be looking at something else such as RAM/EXPO, BIOS, GPU stability, or something related to having two monitors?
Has anyone else experienced similar black screens/freezes with the RX 9060 XT and Adrenalin 26.8.1?
Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be appreciated.

I have a problem in Hogwarts Legacy, I just stutter and whenever I walk through the castle, it starts to lag even more, it's just completely unplayable and I have an RX 9060 XT and a Ryzen 5 9600X and 32GB DDR5 and I don't know what to do anymore.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been dealing with random hard freezes while gaming. The monitor goes black, the audio buzzes/freezes, and the PC doesn't reboot on its own—I have to do a hard reset via the power button. There are no error codes or driver crash logs in the Windows Event Viewer when this happens.

My Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
PSU: XPG 550W
Monitor: 165hz with FreeSync

OCCT Power & Memory Tests: Passed completely stable. Under maximum load, the GPU power spiked up to 220W and the PSU handled it perfectly fine. No overheating issues.
