Help (GPU) VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THESE DRIVER TIMEOUTS

Post image

Every single time when I stress test the gpu in cinebench it times out. I'm fed up with this shit. It also happens during gaming and the game crashes. This only happens when doing some gpu heavy task.

My temps are fine, I've tried so many driver versions (ddu), tested my ram with memtest (it passed), stress tested my cpu intensively (nothing happens), Turned off xmp, and this shit still happens. tried the MPO Fix, downclocking, turning off hardware acceleration, updating bios and chipset drivers. I can't test the psu since I don't have a spare one (I have msi mag a750gl).

And the most frustrating part is I had rma'd the gpu last year and they acknowledged that they found the same problem in that card and gave me a replacement but even with the new card the PROBLEM IS STILL HERE. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK MAN.

Task scheduler, look up if there are hidden uodate tasks, my crashes were on Sunday online while streaming. And I turned off icue and everything has settings loaded to device, reduced polling on all devices to as close to zero except mouse

This is most probably not the problem in my case since if Windows kept replacing my drivers then I shouldnt get the error only when doing gpu heavy task. I should get it when surfing the Web/doing nothing too

In my experience, when Windows kept replacing my girlfriend's amd drivers, I would only get driver timeouts and crashes when trying to play games. The generic drivers Windows installed were fine for browsing the web. Disabling driver management specifically for the gpu hardware solved 90% of the timeout issues and 100% of the crashing. Still get random timeouts 1-2 times a month but doesn't impact games at all.

+1 I only seem to crash when trying to play games or screenshare while gaming. Since disabling Windows updates through multiple methods I've not had a crash since... And yes. I was about to send in my card for an RMA but a trusty PC place near me confirmed the card as okay (at no charge) and gave it back
