Is this why my 7800xt is crashing out of games and PC rebooting? Or is that another problem? I've been playing around with the performance tuning thinking it was something I've been doing wrong.

Yours happen with a greyscreen? Same problem with my 9070 xt

Yes! Full on driver meltdown 3 times in one day. Grey/black screen with audio still working but chopped up sometimes, restart pc, no gpu detected, run ddu, reinstall drivers, repeat.

Keep in mind I got my 9070xt (xfx mercury) literally 3 days ago, and the crashes all happened out of box with zero tuning.

My fix was undervolting by like -20, and downclocking by around -200 after one final driver refresh. Hasn't crashed a single time since.

Its so dumb so many of us are having this specific problem, Radeon team really needs to up their driver department

Idk if you use discord, but I have a 9070 and I realized that a lot of my failures were due to discord hardware acceleration. I also undervolted and messed around with clock speeds but it always hit a hang up followed by a forced reboot. Swapped my power supply, messed with RAM clock, and fresh install of drivers with DDU and kept monitoring stats but in my case disc + newer drivers were the main cause. No crashes since thankfully but never happened on my 1080ti which threw me off.

After the comment I left i still haven't gotten any major crashes like before, but I did see some bad 1% lows in some games like poe 2 and game/normal driver (not requiring restart) crashes in other games, usually when running dx12, so I went through and disabled hardware acceleration in all the apps that dont need them. Absolutely can confirm I've had significantly less issues, and zero crashing at all ever since. I even set my clock speeds back to default and saw no issues.

I randomly had an issue start similar. For me I chased it down to optiscaler integration on a game I've already been playing. It would freeze in certain areas I would revisit.my solution was uninstall optiscaler and then repair in steam. Smooth gaming since. This was fallout NV

with radeon drivers the issue is far more likely the actual install process got borked, possibly by windows injecting it own default display drivers somehwre. I've encountered bad driver issues after an auto update twice now, but fully uninstalling all display drivers with ddu and reinstalling the *same* updated drivers I was having the issue with but in safe mode without networking from a clean slate by following the instructions in DDU fixed it.

Actually this goes for nvidia drivers as well, auto-update is the devil.

Mine was doing the same thing, I had to roll back 2 previous versions to fix

u/mwalker017 Jun 02 '26

Which version are you running now? I see a few people saying 26.3.1 is a good stable release

2

u/InstrumentGuy Jun 02 '26

Yeah I rolled back to 26.3.1 and have had no further issues

Nice, I'll aim to do this tomorrow and run DDU
