funny thing is to get rid of the flickering i got to disable CPU 4 and 5 in the processor affinity
option in task manager which is ok for a temp workaround but nothing more
with my cpu upgrade i had to get a new motherboard which i got the x870 aorus elite x3d ice
and i have updated its bios to version F8
my question is that if theres a way to fix this? its my first AMD cpu and im afraid i got a faulty one
hope someone can help me with that

Help (GPU) Do I dare go back to AMD GPUs?

0 Upvotes

Hello everybody.

I got for now an nVidia 5090 which I'm gonna sell and make a pretty good profit, yes, judge me for using the current state of the market but I don't care.

Anyway, late 2025 I bought myself an 5090 after dealing with driver issues and crashes for months with my 7900XTX and was thinking about buying an cheap 9070XT just to have something in my PC but do I dare buy one? How's the state of these driver issues? Still going on?

It's a serious question though and please don't give tips about how to downclock, undervolt or disable 200 things on my PC, I just need to install it and it should just work, like nVidia did.

So, 9070XT or 5070Ti/5080? What's your take on this matter?

Help (CPU) AMD's PVT is dog shit

0 Upvotes

So I bought a 9850x3d, and it came with Onimusha. I've been wanting to play it so this was a win-win for me. Went to go redeem and the stupid Product Verification Tool just keeps telling me to re-download the PVT. I did everything, I turned off virus protection, turned off firewalls, disabled overclocking, reset my system time, Reseated the cpu, nothing.

Finally, I rebooted in safe mode with Networking. It finally worked. Took me over an hour to try safe mode.

So, if you recently made a purchase of a CPU or GPU and can't redeem the gift, reboot in safe mode with networking and try following the instructions then.

I’ve had my 9070xt for about 2 months now. I bought it after my 4060 killed itself during a driver update, I went with a fresh install of windows and installed the gpu along with drivers and software. I’ve been underwhelmed so far, I run into constant glitches, crashes, and I can’t run my computer in safe mode any longer(I believe unrelated as I know I can switch with deep dive into bios settings). So my question is, is this the AMD trope, am I poorly utilizing the software settings? Happy to be pointed in any direction that could lead to a positive experience.

I play SoT, The finals, Rocket League, and various FPS/car games, I run 1440p and 4k depending on the games age.

Help (GPU) Is my 9070XT faulty or driver issues?

24 Upvotes

For context, card is almost a month old. I’ve played a few heavy 4K titles on it since then with no probs
- MGS Delta
- 007 First Light
- KCD 2
- Cyberpunk

Issue seems to be happening on several games
- Control Resonant
- Ready or not
- Occasionally on random, less demanding games

The issue happening with above games is that when i launch them, the GPU appears to completely stop giving display output. The system is also unresponsive to any input unless i force shutdown

Current Setup:
- Sapphire 9070XT OC
- Ryzen 9700x
- 32GB DDR5 CL36 Memory (EXPO is off)
- 850W psu from thermaltake
- GPU is running two seperate PCIe cables instead of a daisy chained config

What I’ve already tried
- Cleaning with DDU and reinstalling latest stable
- Updating to optional 26.9.2 driver (using DDU beforehand)
- Disabling HAGS
- Disabling MPO
- Undervolting ( i think i tried both -50 and -80mV )
- Underclocking
- Downgrading to a 25.x driver

Help (Software) Is Linux a better option?

Before anyone starts with the “enjoy not being able to play half of your games” schtick, I don’t fucking care. I’ll buy another SSD in a few months to boot Windows onto later on. Right now, I just want to play games for more than an hour without a driver timeout. Considering this is because windows is absolute dogwater and they keep overwriting AMD drivers; am I going to experience stability on linux? Im looking for people who actually run Linux to answer, or someone who dabbles in both. At my wits end here and I’m just looking to find a solution that isn’t a $1600 Nvidia GPU. I’ve already did the registry edits, I’ve done a million different driver versions under the sun, I’ve cleared shaders, updates BiOS, turned down the frequency, the whole 9 yards and it still times out. I’m just tired, and I want to enjoy the money I worked very hard for on my PC.

El punto es que cuándo instalo los drivers la pantalla pierde la señal, y no importa cuánto tiempo lo deje porque se queda igual. Hasta le instalé los drivers mientras usaba los gráficos integrados, y cuando cambié a la gráfica no daba señal de video.

What pads should i use? i cant find anything on internet about that. Also there's this little thing close to the video ports, like a PWM or voltage controller, i think there also should be a pad. On original pads the gpu and hotspot temperature were nearly the same, like 70 degress celcius, after changing pads to 1.5mm on VRM and this little controller and 1mm on VRAM the hotspot went to like 85 degrees

Help (GPU) ASROCK Radeon RX 9070 Challenger 16G

Title: RX 9070 – stuttering in every game, LiveKernelEvent 193

Ahoj, prosím o pomoc s diagnostikou PC. Záseky se objevují ve všech hrách, nejvíce v ARC Raiders, ale také v Diablu IV a WoW. Je jedno, jestli hra běží na maximální, nebo minimální detaily – záseky jsou stále stejné. Občas se to děje i při přehrávání YouTube.

Během záseku prudce klesá spotřeba GPU (např. z 220 W na 50 W). Ve Windows se objevuje LiveKernelEvent 193 a událost 815. Vypnutí hardwarově akcelerovaného plánování GPU pomohlo jen v některých případech.

Sestava:

GPU: ASRock Radeon RX 9070 Challenger 16 GB

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

MB: ASRock B850 Pro RS

RAM: ADATA XPG DDR5 16 GB, 6000 MT/s, CL48 (1 modul)

SSD: Apacer AS2280Q4U 1 TB

Monitor: MSI PRO MP341CQW E12, HDMI

Driver: AMD Adrenalin 26.8.1

Zdroj: model a výkon zatím neznámé

Nevíte, čím by to mohlo být a jak nejlépe zjistit příčinu? Může jít o ovladač, GPU, RAM nebo napájení?

Přikládám video se zásekem. Díky za pomoc!

Pomoc s diagnostikou záseků ve všech hrách – RX 9070, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, LiveKernelEvent 193

Ahoj všem,

potřeboval bych pomoct s diagnostikou počítače, protože se mi nedaří zjistit příčinu opakovaných záseků.

DŮLEŽITÉ: Problém se projevuje prakticky v každé hře, kterou spustím, a nezáleží na nastavených grafických detailech. I když hra běží na maximální detaily, nebo naopak nastavím nejnižší možné detaily, záseky jsou stále přibližně stejné.

Nejvíce si toho všímám například v ARC Raiders, ale děje se to také v Diablu IV a World of Warcraft. Občas se podobné zasekávání projeví dokonce i při přehrávání videí na YouTube.

Proto si nemyslím, že jde pouze o příliš vysoké grafické nastavení nebo o nedostatečný výkon počítače. Chtěl bych zjistit skutečnou příčinu.

K příspěvku přikládám vlastní video, na kterém je problém vidět.

Moje sestava

- Grafická karta: ASRock Radeon RX 9070 Challenger 16GB

- Procesor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

- Základní deska: ASRock B850 Pro RS

- RAM: ADATA XPG DDR5 16 GB, 6000 MT/s, CL48 – pouze jeden modul

- SSD: Apacer AS2280Q4U 1 TB

- Monitor: MSI PRO MP341CQW E12

- Připojení monitoru: HDMI

- Grafický ovladač: AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.8.1

- Napájecí zdroj: přesný model a výkon zatím neznám

- Nastavení EXPO v BIOSu: nevím, zda je zapnuté

Jak se problém projevuje

Při hraní dochází k náhodným krátkým zásekům a propadům plynulosti, přibližně na jednu sekundu.

Problém se objevuje napříč různými hrami. Nejvýrazněji jsem si ho všiml v ARC Raiders, ale také v Diablu IV a World of Warcraft.

Snížení grafických detailů ze svého maxima na minimum problém nevyřeší. Záseky jsou stále velmi podobné.

Někdy se podobný problém objeví i při přehrávání videí na YouTube.

Zpočátku se během záseků zasekával také zvuk, nyní pozoruji především obrazové záseky a lagy.

Všiml jsem si také prudkého poklesu spotřeby grafické karty během záseku, například přibližně z 220 W na 50 W, po kterém spotřeba opět stoupne.

Co jsem zatím zjistil a vyzkoušel

- V Prohlížeči událostí Windows se objevuje LiveKernelEvent s kódem 193 a údaj 815.

- Zaznamenal jsem také DistributedCOM, ID 10010, ale nevím, zda to souvisí s problémem.

- Vypnutí hardwarově akcelerovaného plánování GPU pomohlo v jedné hře, ale v ostatních problém přetrvával.

- Nastavení v AMD Adrenalin mám standardní, bez záměrného přetaktování.

- Aktuálně používám ovladač AMD Adrenalin 26.8.1.

- Nevím, zda mám v BIOSu zapnuté EXPO.

- Přesný model a výkon napájecího zdroje zatím nemám ověřený.

Co bych potřeboval poradit

  1. Setkal se někdo s podobnými problémy u Radeon RX 9070 nebo ovladače AMD Adrenalin 26.8.1?

  2. Co může způsobovat stejné záseky při maximálních i minimálních grafických detailech?

  3. Může jít o problém s ovladačem, grafikou, napájecím zdrojem, RAM nebo jinou komponentou?

  4. Jaké konkrétní testy doporučujete pro nalezení skutečné příčiny?

  5. Má smysl vyzkoušet jinou verzi ovladače a provést čistou instalaci?

  6. Může mít vliv jeden modul RAM o kapacitě 16 GB na frekvenci 6000 MT/s?

Nechci bezhlavě měnit nastavení ani kupovat nové komponenty, dokud nebudu mít lepší představu o příčině.

Budu vděčný za konkrétní rady, jak postupovat krok za krokem.

K příspěvku přikládám video zachycující problém přímo při hraní.

Děkuji všem za pomoc!

Help (General) Can't find a fix for Marvel Rivals crashes

3 Upvotes

I can't figure out what's causing the crashes in Marvel Rivals. Reinstalling my graphics drivers fixes the issue for a few gaming sessions, but then the crashes start happening again. I experience both game crashes with an Unreal Engine Crash message and full system crashes.

When a BSOD occurs, the error is KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION (0x13A, Arg1: 0x17). When the game itself crashes, I get an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error, which is also related to invalid memory access.

I don't know whether these two types of crashes share the same root cause or how exactly the graphics driver is involved. What confuses me the most is why reinstalling the driver fixes the issue for a few sessions, only for the crashes to return even though I haven't changed any settings.

So far, I've tried:

  • Clean reinstalling AMD graphics drivers using AMD Cleanup Utility.
  • Testing different AMD driver versions
  • Completely reinstalling Marvel Rivals.
  • Verifying the integrity of game files through Steam.
  • Enabling and disabling HAGS (Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling).
  • Clearing the shader cache.
  • Disabling the integrated GPU (iGPU).
  • Updating my motherboard's BIOS.
  • Running Windows Memory Diagnostic to check my RAM.
  • Repairing Windows system files using SFC and DISM.
  • Uninstalling Gigabyte Control Center and its related components.

None of these solutions have permanently fixed the issue.

Interestingly, I don't experience these problems in any other game. My PC works perfectly fine otherwise, and the crashes happen exclusively when playing Marvel Rivals.

PC Specs:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
  • GPU: Radeon RX 9600 XT 16 GB
  • RAM: 32 GB DDR5 6000 MHz CL30
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX
  • PSU: MSI MAG A750GL 750 W
  • OS: Windows 11

Tips & Info AMD FreeSync flickering in Chrome / PokerStars Spin & Go at high refresh rate — disabling Windows MPO fixed it

4 Upvotes
Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 16GB

CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K

Motherboard: Unknown / not relevant to the issue

RAM: 32GB

Operating System & Version: Windows 10 Pro

Monitor: 34" ultrawide, 3440x1440, 165Hz, Adaptive Sync / FreeSync, connected via DisplayPort

GPU Drivers: AMD Adrenalin, current driver at the time of troubleshooting

Description of Original Problem:

After connecting a 3440x1440 165Hz FreeSync monitor, I started getting strange screen flickering.

It first happened specifically in the PokerStars Spin & Go lobby. Part of the upper screen would flash/flicker with a dark red or burgundy colour.

Later I noticed similar flickering in Google Chrome.

The problem strongly depended on refresh rate:

- 120Hz: no flickering
- Around 140Hz: flickering was less frequent and affected a smaller area
- 165Hz: flickering was much more noticeable

Disabling Adaptive Sync / FreeSync on the monitor stopped the flickering completely.

Disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome also stopped the flickering.

Troubleshooting:

I tried the following:

- Different refresh rates
- Disabling FreeSync for PokerStars in AMD Adrenalin
- Disabling Adaptive Sync on the monitor
- Clearing PokerStars application and lobby cache
- Disabling hardware acceleration inside PokerStars
- Disabling WebView2 GPU acceleration for PokerStars
- Testing PokerStars at 60Hz, 120Hz, 140Hz and 165Hz

The monitor and DisplayPort connection worked normally at 165Hz when Adaptive Sync was disabled.

The fix that finally worked was disabling Windows Multi-Plane Overlay (MPO).

How I disabled MPO:

1. Press Win + R

2. Type:

regedit

3. Press Enter.

4. In Registry Editor go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm

5. Click the Dwm folder.

6. Right-click an empty area in the right-hand pane.

7. Select:

New > DWORD (32-bit) Value

8. Name it:

OverlayTestMode

9. Double-click OverlayTestMode.

10. Set Value data to:

5

I left Base set to Hexadecimal.

11. Click OK.

12. Restart Windows.

Result:

After the restart, the flickering disappeared completely.

I can now use:

3440x1440
165Hz
FreeSync / Adaptive Sync enabled
Chrome hardware acceleration enabled

without any flickering.

How to undo the change:

Go back to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm

Delete:

OverlayTestMode

Then restart Windows.

Conclusion:

In my case the monitor, GPU and DisplayPort cable were apparently fine.

The issue seems to have been a compatibility problem involving Windows MPO, AMD graphics, hardware-accelerated applications and FreeSync / VRR.

Obviously this may not fix every flickering issue, and editing the Registry should be done carefully, but if your symptoms are similar it may be worth testing.

Description of Original Problem: I recently had to return my RX6600 on warranty and got a RX7600 as a replacement, but can't get it to work in my machine.

Whenever the GPU is plugged in and the system is set to UEFI, it never gets to POST or even lets me enter the BIOS. With the GPU plugged in and the system set to CSM, it boots fine using integrated graphics and the GPU is detected, but marked as faulty in the device manager.

Troubleshooting:

What I've tried to far (in no particular order):

  • Tested the GPU in another (much older) machine, where it worked OOTB.
  • Tested the old system's Nvidia GPU on my machine, which worked OOTB.
  • Cleared CMOS with the RX7600 installed
  • Tried different HDMI and DP ports on the GPU
  • Updated the BIOS to two different versions, first the most recent and then a slightly older one
  • Run the AMD Remover Tool x2 and reinstalled drivers, I am getting the PA-300 error every time and have attempted this fix (manually) without result
  • Run DDU in safe mode as adviced and reinstalled drivers, same result as above
  • Changed the 4G-setting in BIOS
  • Changed safe boot settings in BIOS
  • Changed PCIe settings between auto and 3rd/4th
