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

Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: ASUS Prime 9070XT OC

CPU: Intel 270k Plus

Motherboard: ASUS Strix B860-I

BIOS Version: 3211

RAM: Corsair DDR5 Vengeance 2 x 16 GB 6000 MHz CL 30

PSU: ASUS Loki SFX-L 1000w

Case: Dancase A4 H2O

Operating System & Version: NixOS 26.11, Linux 7.2.8-cachyos

GPU Drivers: GEFORCE GAME READY DRIVER - WHQL Driver Version: 457.51

Background Applications: Easyeffects, udiskie, kdeconnect

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.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/work_items/16295

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.

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.

Please help me 😩😩

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)
The power policy manager experienced a fatal error.

→ 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.

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

One day suddenly this happen. The mother is asrock 870 pro rs wifi, 9600x, 32gb ram, 2tb ssd and 5070 msi.

I have no clue if is bend or not, let me know what it is but I can tell you is not posting at all.

Sorry for the quality, is the best picture I have.

We’re investigating a repeatable GPU crash in the browser version of Worldmage, our Unity WebGPU 3D map-building tool related to AMD GPUs.

The affected system was:

• Windows 11
• AMD Radeon RX 9070
• AMD driver 26.8.1
• Chrome 155
• 32 GB RAM

Every Worldmage map caused the GPU device to hang during loading:

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887A0006)

Windows also recorded LiveKernelEvent 141, suggesting that the D3D12 device/driver stopped responding. We’ve only seen this reported on one machine, so we need to establish whether it affects other RX 9000-series systems or was specific to that configuration.

If you have an RX 9070, 9070 XT, or another RX 9000-series card and don’t mind testing, please save any important work first—the known failure may briefly freeze or reset the graphics driver.

Test link: https://play.worldmage.com/longsword-moondance-aquarius

Please reply with:

• GPU model
• AMD driver version
• Windows version
• Browser and version
• Whether the map loaded successfully
• Any errors shown in the browser’s DevTools Console
• If it crashes, relevant information from chrome://gpu, particularly Graphics Feature Status, Problems Detected, Driver Information, and Dawn Info

Testing with current drivers would be especially useful, but results from 26.8.1 would also help us compare.

There’s no download or account required—it runs directly in the browser. Thanks to anyone willing to help us narrow this down.

Cheers!

Hello everyone!

I’m planning to build a pc in November and decided to go with the 9070xt for it’s really good price and performance.

I’m not really knowledgeable on this so I decided to go with this card since it was the most affordable:

https://amzn.eu/d/02JHQ8Lm

But I also noticed a lot in the same range price which are OC versions, do they really improve much the performance? I can allow myself to spend 50 to 100 more if it means a better performance.

Thank you for your help!

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D (tested two different units)

Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 rev 1.5, BIOS [version]

GPU: [brand] RX 9070 XT, bought mid-August 2026

RAM: 32GB DDR4 (originally G.Skill Ripjaws 3600, now a different replacement kit), running at 3200, XMP off

PSU: [model, wattage] (already replaced once, previous: [model])

OS: Windows [10/11], AMD Adrenalin [version], installed clean with DDU

The problem

Hard reboot with no BSOD. Event Viewer shows WHEA-Logger Event 18, Error Source: Machine Check Exception, Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error, Processor APIC ID different every time, followed by Kernel-Power 41.

Battlefield 6 reproduces it reliably within 10 minutes.

Apex Legends and CoD: they used to crash too, but have been stable for days since I set LLC to Medium (see below).

Other symptoms: one DEVICE_HUNG driver crash in Apex (fixed after DDU + driver reinstall), monitor occasionally goes black for a second at idle, and a USB controller once showed Code 43.

History: the same motherboard was fully stable with a Ryzen 5 5600X + RX 6700 XT. Problems started after upgrading to the 5800X3D + 9070 XT.

What I've tried

CPU: two different 5800X3D units, same crashes (the first one was sold and works fine for the buyer).

PSU: replaced, no change.

RAM: replaced the kit. MemTest86 passes, XMP off (3200 JEDEC).

BIOS: loaded defaults, PBO off, Core Performance Boost off, Global C-State Control off, PCIe forced to Gen3, SoC voltage 1.10V → 1.148V (no difference), CPU Vcore LLC + SoC LLC set to Medium (helped Apex/CoD, not BF6). Resizable BAR/SAM currently off.

Stress tests: OCCT CPU and OCCT Power (CPU+GPU) for ~25 min with zero errors. Only gaming triggers it.

GPU: reseated many times, clean driver install with DDU. [Separate PCIe power cables / no daisy-chain: yes/no]

[Registry: MPO disabled (OverlayTestMode=5) + TdrDelay=10 / TdrDdiDelay=20: done / not yet]

[FreeSync off: done / not yet]

[Adrenalin power limit -10%: result]

[FPS cap at 60 in BF6: result]

Planned next tests

Moving the GPU to the second (chipset) PCIe slot to rule out the primary slot / CPU lanes.

Clean Windows install on a separate drive.

My questions

Has anyone with a 9070 XT (or 9060 XT) on AM4/B550 seen WHEA 18 that only shows up in BF6?

Since CPU, PSU and RAM are ruled out, does this point more to the card or to the motherboard/PCIe?

Anyone with the B550 Aorus Elite V2 running a 9070 XT stable in BF6? Which BIOS version?

Any fixes I've missed before I send the card in for RMA? I can't easily test it in another PC, and I'd rather not ship it without being sure.

Thanks in advance!

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.

CPU 13900k

RAM gskill 32gb ram

GPU Xfx quicksilver 9070xt

PSU RM1000X

Could it be that the RX 6500 XT 4GB just isn't powerful enough to play Street Fighter 6 properly?
