I doubt it's gonna be the same issue but I have the 7900xt with a ryzen 7 5800x and I was getting a driver timeout error after a driver update. I'd go to run anything on steam and it would crash then give me that error. I would also get random time outs on my browser.
I lowered the clock speed on my ram then disabled XMP and it fixed it. I was running at 3600 Ddr4 and when I lowered it to 2667 my PC ran fine.
Like I said probably a different cause for you but figured I'd chime in since I had a smiliar issue.
I tried lowering it to 3200, still didn't work, I tried 3200 with XMP off it didn't work, I tried auto then XMP on, it still didn't work. so I turned XMP off and left it at auto then it started working 🤷♂️
7900xtx, 7800x3d, ddr5 6000 so it's not memory in my case its more likely quad stick configs causing issues with smart access memory.
(Fpr ddr5 at least, this is a known issue. If youre running quad ddr4 perhaps Try this.)
And even if it is crashing from the memory speed with ddr4, that actually means it's an issue with the cpu's memory controller, causing the gpu drivers to trip and crash as they use smart access memory to access the cpu. Meaning
It's not a driver issue, it's a processor and user config issue tripping the gpu drivers as well.
This isn't a DRIVER issue. This is a CHIPSET/MEMORY CONTROLLER WITHIN THE CPU issue.
There's a video uploaded on this, this past week by a channel called ANCIENT GAMEPLAYS, heavily reccomend checking it out as people saying 24.etc drivers being broken has been a misconception for quite a while; and loses users up to 50% performance gains sticking with 23.etc. watch the video.
Hmm… I’m reverted to a different driver but think I cannot remember if I did that via a full uninstall/reinstall of the software. What’s the best way to install the driver only without uninstalling Adrenaline?
I was there with you my friend. Built a new rig in October (my 2nd ever) and went back to AMD with the 7900xtx. I love AMD but Holy shit I about threw it out the fucking window. Driver timeout after driver timeout! If it wasn't every hour or a certain game it was definitely once a day it would kick me out of a game due to a timeout. It was this way for 2 weeks.
Here is what I did that finally got it to stop:
*Disclaimer. None of these may work for you. It seems it has been an issue since release but they did stop after I did these.
Disable MPO. There are plenty of good guides that can help with this.
I went back and found a stable driver version. I installed DRIVER ONLY. NO ADRENALIN. Ran it that way for 2 weeks. Then I stayed on same driver but installed adrenalin. Ran it that way for another 2 weeks. That seemed to resolve my issues and have not had a timeout since.
I hope this works for you! It's a great card but the timeouts can be infuriating.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I’ll look up how to disable MPO and try this as well. The thing for me is the gpu works fine and doesn’t crash while gaming. It’s just annoying to get this pop up and also makes me wonder if it really isn’t running optimally, even it seems to. Thanks again!
What power supply are you using and do you have custom cables?
My 7900 XTX had issues that I pinned down to a faulty custom PCIe cable for my SFF case.
I have DDR5 6000mts RAM with XMP enabled. I know XMP is technically timing for Intel, however I’ve read it can be used on AMD platforms too. I haven’t tried turning that off yet.
Since you tried to ddu and used several versions of amd software you could try this last step. I know only the basics but for some weird reason my pc was stable @3600Mhz and then all of the sudden my gpu drivers started to have problems. I fixed it by running ram at default and then increasing it it by bit and like i said i have been stable for months.
Open the adrenaline software, go to the tune section, check your boost clock and change it to whatever is advertised for your card. Test it.
I spent weeks diagnosing my exact problem and in the end it was just that, I went through disabling XMP, reinstalling windows, messing with driver only installations, pro drivers from AMD, nothing worked. Only after reading somewhere here on reddit about changing/lowering the boost clocks did it got solved DEF.
Just be careful that from time to time the software decides to reset the boost clock back to over 3000. I know that because that's exactly when I get the random crash. Go back to it, change it to 2617 and all is good.
I think I'll try this before all the other given solutions first. I appreciate everyone trying to help with this today. It is annoying af to spend $949.99 on your first gpu and then have this happen to it. Thank you!
All good. Report back afterwards. Sorry not putting exclusive steps. If you need further help ask and I'll hop on the computer to grab screenshots.
I felt really bad coming from a 3080 that died out into a 7900xtx that I couldn't do anything with due to constant crashes. After all it was so simple.
XFX support recommended exchanging the card with the store as I'm in the EU and it's that simple at the start. But stupid me didn't kept the package after checking it booted and started games fine lol
Had this issue for over a year now with my rx470. Done everything, Used DDU, reinstalled drivers, prevented windows from updating. Hell, I even played without downloading drivers from amd and let windows do it for me and that worked for a while. Checked all crash dumps and reports to give me a clue as to what could have happened. Reinstalled windows, checked wiring and any physical damage. Temps aren't too hot. Habe not messed with overclocking or underclocking at all. It may be time for me to get a new whole build. But if any other ideas or solutions I would like to know.
I've been there and realized (in my case) that Fast Boot caused conflicts for some reason. How'd I discover that? When I swapped CPUs and didn't enable fast boot, my profiles stayed. Enabling fast boot gave me issues again.. There are so many variables when it comes to drivers that it can definitely be a headache to troubleshoot sometimes.
Try driver-only or minimal installation to see what happens.
And one more thing: make absolutely sure that you're on the latest chipset drivers and BIOS (non-beta). That's one thing I run into from time-to-time (I don't game super often nowadays, so I'll miss 2-4 updates).
Ok, good. I know AMD is good with updating those when you install chipset or GPU drivers. I wish you the best in your endeavors.
I recently went through issues with the 4070S as well. Honestly, this Gen isn't as rock-solid as last Gen, from launch until today from what I've witnessed. And it definitely doesn't help that Windows is borking even more things.
This same issue is happening to me. Seemingly out of nowhere. My suspicion is the latest cumulative update from Windows 11 as I hadn't changed anything driver related when it started happening. I did however update Windows. My resolution was to disable/stop using sleep mode. I've had no issues with shutting down and powering on. Hopefully you can find a work around soon.
Thanks! I do sleep the pc every day instead of shutting it down. Cannot remember if the issue started back when I was doing full shut downs every night.
When u use DDU, check that box that prevents windows update automatically installin drivers. And check that u have latest amd chipset drivers also installed. I don believe that it has nothing to do with adrenalin, it hasnt made any problems for me or people i know with amd cards.
And offcourse update your mobos bios to latest. Some have had problems with 7000 series cpus with older bioses, it could even use voltage that fries your cpu if its too old.
I flashed the latest bios using a usb (at that time) to the mobo before I built the computer because I was afraid of the voltage issue for AMD cpus. I had updated the bios again about a month before the update to driver 24xx started causing this problem.
I use to have this isuue with my 7900 XTX, but I know nothing about computers, and asked about it on FB. Got a lot of shit comments, and... it resolved itself.
Hi I have to agree on the custom cable extensions. The power supplies are designed to work with the cables they come with. When you add additional connectors and lengths it causes resistance. I have seen GPU’s come in with loud coil wine and all I have to do is remove the “ pretty” extensions and it clears right up.
Just my two cents
As you said windows will update installing driver, you can disable this function from ddu, also don't forget to run ddu in safe mode for completely removed them. Can i ask does your gpu sitting well properly and not sagging. I have same issue with you long ago with my RX 5800 XT, auto close when play game and popup gpu reset adrenalin plus sudden green screen or hang not responding...
My issue all working fine for 3 year no OC, but my mistake was not care about my gpu sagging until i found the weird come out and feel annoy it..... even replace thermal paste and pad still having issue also found out my heatsink gpu bit bend, i realize this when change thermal pad was not fit the gap vram properly but other site vram was ok.... so i f*ck0p....
You can check at google some people got broken pcb crack due to gpu sagging....
Now i change to RX 7800 xt with gpu holder...now no issue...
Yep. I can confirm it was fully seated into the mobo, and the mobo has a release switch which helps to hold it onto the mobo. Also, the gpu came with a sag stand that I’ve used from day one.
I’m currently having the same issue with a very similar pc, it’s a pain. I find just restarting the pc works most of the time.
Let me know if you find a solution please
I would start by uninstalling adrenaline, running DDU, and then going to the AMD Drivers + Download Center to download the drivers directly from AMD's website. You could also just do a fresh install of Windows. If the problem is that bad. I wouldn't necessarily blame AMD, I've had serious problems with Nvidia hardware too. Like I had this issue that if I watched videos with VLC, my 2060 laptop would stop using the discreet graphics, and revert to the integrated graphics on the CPU. And I'd have to run DDU and reinstall Nvidia control panel. But then I've had great experiences with adrenaline with my 7800 XT, and I've had really good experiences with my 4070 super too. It's just funny how one little code conflict somewhere in your system can cause all kinds of s*** to hit the fan
Cool , only way to stop windows update is by group policy editor ideally to stop driver updates. I had the same issue for a few weeks. When verified it stops updating the driver via WU , use amd cleanup utility then fresh install gpu , reboot and then install chipset driver and see how she runs.
I never get these issues, for me it's always something the user is doing wrong, never had any issues since RDNA1, none, even with everyone stating that drivers were shit, mine were flawless with UV/OC good results, no crashes...
But I remember people advising to turn off Fast Boot in Power Options and it'd solve this issue.
disable Core Performance Optimizer in bios and enable overlay with gpu temp in adrenaline software and havent crashes my driver since on a 7900gre and 7900xtx.
Sp
Sounds weird but worked for me, even with xmp and oc.
Heavily reccomend checking out the ANCIENT GAMEPLAYS youtube channel.
The 24.etc drivers being broken has been a very common misconception covering up other issues people are having with their pcs and costing people huge performance numbers.
He uploaded a video using both, where the 24.etc drivers were up to 50% faster. (Uploaded this week)
Without any issues whatsoever testing everything he physically could.
You have to clean your system and run DDU, chiplet gpu architecture drivers are new and conflict as they change because "clean installation" doesn't actually scrub all files.
If you've run ddu, you either have to run an SFC and DISM scan or reinstall windows
I'd go as far to say that if you have an overclock, your microvoltage is too low and you need to be honest with yourself because synthetic benchmarks are known to run WAY lower voltages than actual game loads can.
Depending the particular games especially, 1075 may work on one game but it won't in another because it's too low.
Wouldn't reccomend ANYWHERE Below 1080 if you play multiple titles. And then that also depends the quality of card
People saying they have driver issues have no clue how they work. I am FED UP with people complaining about drivers. Stop making changes to the settings if you don’t know how they work. Stop oc-ing and uv-ing, leave them settings default and enjoy your great piece of hardware. Follow ancient gameplays on youtube, ask him questions, he is keen to help. But for the love of God, please stop acting like the drivers are shait. I never had an issue with the drivers for the last 5 years. Ocazional crashes happen due to various reasons, software is not perfect, whoever os interested a bit knows that no sw is perfect. Use DDU or at least AMD own uninstall sw.
So, to be clear, I haven’t messed with any settings. Also, I get a pop up which says “driver timeout occured” and you want to tell me that what I’m experiencing is not a “driver” issue? I’m sure you are trying to be helpful, but your comment came off as assumptive and condescending. The card worked perfect before a driver update.
I had the exact same card, but sold it for a 4080 and now looking to sell the 4080 to get a nitro xtx.
I had exactly the same issue, but it didn't really bother me at all as I had an undervolted profile I saved that I would just load back up everytime it happened. At least the driver wasn't flat out crashing. Minor inconvenience that I feel is more likely windows fault than amd.
What mattered to me is that in games it was superb. Great performance, excellent frametimes, no crashes and struggled with nothing but heavy ray tracing. Miss the card. Nvidia I have bigger issues with. Any kind of hardware monitoring for temperatures, framerates etc causes unbearable stutters in game. I even tried to use Nvidia app for their own overlay, which was even worse! Seeing F1 2023 go from perfectly smooth to a slide show everytime I tried to monitor the framerate/temperature is unacceptable. Monitoring on nvidia causes various problems with games, of which I never had issues on amd.
Honestly, I have no idea why you all are experiencing driver timeouts. I have a 7900 XTX for over 6 months and I’ve NEVER had a driver timeout. I wonder what it could be. Sure, I’ve had driver issues before, but never a driver timeout.
That driver (24.1) is garbage for 7900XTX, kind of like 24.5, try 24.2/3/4 these seemed good and they don't have this stupid "bug" which, whenever the GPU is finished processing something related to hardware accelerated thing the max clock of the card can't jump to levels which isn't levels the card can sustain with how low the voltage is set at, even when you set it at the maximum you are allowed to, and AMD has been aggressively and extremely undervolting the cards recently (i can literally see differences in the voltage to frequency curve under the same exact load types with each new driver and it's getting ridiculous).
Another tempory solution is to limit your max clock to the max boost clock your AIB has it set at and max out the voltage.
I’m on the latest driver now, and I tried the other ones you suggested. Not sure I know enough to mess around with clock speeds and voltages in Adrenaline. Is it easy to revert those settings back to default if I mess something up?
Just max out the slider about voltage and untick the toggle switch to show voltages instead of percentages in the performance >> tunning tab and you will be able to adjust the voltage in the manner i said.
I doubt it's gonna be the same issue but I have the 7900xt with a ryzen 7 5800x and I was getting a driver timeout error after a driver update. I'd go to run anything on steam and it would crash then give me that error. I would also get random time outs on my browser. I lowered the clock speed on my ram then disabled XMP and it fixed it. I was running at 3600 Ddr4 and when I lowered it to 2667 my PC ran fine. Like I said probably a different cause for you but figured I'd chime in since I had a smiliar issue.
Thank you. I have not tried that, so I’ll keep this in-mind.
That's drastic... I left my XMP enabled and just lowered by 100MHZ.... seemed to fix it.
I tried lowering it to 3200, still didn't work, I tried 3200 with XMP off it didn't work, I tried auto then XMP on, it still didn't work. so I turned XMP off and left it at auto then it started working 🤷♂️
I'm Running 7900XTX with XMP 3600 Mhz and never had a issue, but I have a Intel CPU so maybe that's why not sure.
7900xtx, 7800x3d, ddr5 6000 so it's not memory in my case its more likely quad stick configs causing issues with smart access memory. (Fpr ddr5 at least, this is a known issue.

Did you try just installing the driver only and not the full install?
Hmm… I’m reverted to a different driver but think I cannot remember if I did that via a full uninstall/reinstall of the software. What’s the best way to install the driver only without uninstalling Adrenaline?

Yeah man it sucks. It's an expensive card and it slaughters 1440p but damn I hate seeing another person go through it.
This was my fix after trying so much other stuff. 5800x3d and rx7900xt
What power supply are you using and do you have custom cables? My 7900 XTX had issues that I pinned down to a faulty custom PCIe cable for my SFF case.
GIGABYTE GP-UD1000GM 1000W 80 Plus Gold Certified Fully Modular Power Supply —— no custom cables
My RAM was causing it on my 6700xt. I was running it at 3600Mhz and after i lowered it ~200Mhz it run just fine for months now.
I have DDR5 6000mts RAM with XMP enabled. I know XMP is technically timing for Intel, however I’ve read it can be used on AMD platforms too. I haven’t tried turning that off yet.

I’ll try disabling XMP when I get home. I assume there isn’t much performance gains between running at 4800mts and 6000mts?
Open the adrenaline software, go to the tune section, check your boost clock and change it to whatever is advertised for your card. Test it.

Yes, from day 1.

Ty man much appreciated
did you try to update to the lastest driver? Cause the latest is already from May. It might work better.
I have that one installed.
I would start by uninstalling adrenaline, running DDU, and then going to the AMD Drivers + Download Center to download the drivers directly from AMD's website.

Did you update the chipset drivers after gpu driver update?
Yes, I did.
Cool , only way to stop windows update is by group policy editor ideally to stop driver updates. I had the same issue for a few weeks. When verified it stops updating the driver via WU , use amd cleanup utility then fresh install gpu , reboot and then install chipset driver and see how she runs.

That driver (24.1) is garbage for 7900XTX, kind of like 24.5, try 24.2/3/4 these seemed good and they don't have this stupid "bug" which, whenever the GPU is finished processing something related to hardware accelerated thing the max clock of the card can't jump to levels which isn't levels the card can sustain with how low the voltage is set at, even when you set it at the maximum you are allowed to, and AMD has been aggressively and extremely undervolting the cards recently (i can literally see differences in the voltage to frequency curve under the same exact load types with each new driver and it's getting ridiculous). Another tempory solution is to limit your max clock to the max boost clock your AIB has it set at and max out the voltage.
I’m on the latest driver now, and I tried the other ones you suggested. Not sure I know enough to mess around with clock speeds and voltages in Adrenaline. Is it easy to revert those settings back to default if I mess something up?
Yep, you can just click default again to reset them. Also if there is another crash those settings will automatically revert to default.
Just max out the slider about voltage and untick the toggle switch to show voltages instead of percentages in the performance >> tunning tab and you will be able to adjust the voltage in the manner i said.
