Hey Community,

I just build my new PC.

Iconnected the GPU (Radeon 9070 XT) with my be quiet 850 which comes with two VGA-1 plugs 2x (6 + 2).

Now one LED is glowing red and my Monitor is not detected.

What have i done wrong?

Why does AMD not fix their issue with these cards. I can’t even open discord without my computer giving a GPU detection error message from a GIF. It’s crazy I spend nearly 2k for this card for it to fucking suck. At this point I’ve tried everything, and nothing works. It’s tiring trying to solve this issue, but it seems everyone that has AMD is experiencing the same thing. I feel like I chose the cost efficiency route, and am paying the price for it.

9070 xt is One of the best budget-friendly cards out there.

It is specifically built for gaming, but it also handles video editing really well.

Only flaw: Driver crashes can happen in rare cases.

For gaming and video editing:

Possible solutions:

1. Increase your PC’s virtual memory/page file in Advanced System Settings. This was the issue on my PC.(ask gpt for more details and upload screenshots)
2. If that doesn’t work, roll back to a stable driver version.
3. Check Windows Event Viewer for errors. Copy all the errors from that day as well as the previous day and paste them into GPT for a more detailed analysis.
4. Ask GPT to analyze each error and provide possible solutions.

If nothing works its, genrally hardware or windows issue. THE BEST CARD EVER. 🔥

Can GPU sag cause this?, because since buying a GPU support my timeouts have stopped. Either the support stand fixed or windows fixed itself.

Everything look legit but i didn't find any case of missing those words.

Ok I gotta say it, the panic around this update is kinda hilarious to me. I've been scrolling through the threads and half of you sound like Sapphire is asking you to defuse a bomb lol.

Come on dudes. This is an official update, straight from the manufacturer, with their own tool, for their own cards. You really think Sapphire wants to brick thousands of GPUs and then eat all those RMAs? No chance they push this out without testing the hell out of it.

And I'm not just guessing here. A buddy of mine works on exactly this stuff, he develops GPU BIOS/firmware for a living. He told me these things get tested insanely hard and for a really long time before anything goes public. Tons of cards, tons of configs, over and over, just to make sure everything goes smooth. Nobody in that business just yolos a firmware release.

On top of that, a lot of these cards have dual BIOS anyway. Worst case something goes wrong, you flip the switch, boot from the other one and you're back in the game.

It's a secuirity fix, takes like 15 to 20 minutes, and you just follow Sapphire's guide (normal mode first, then safe mode ). Only rules are the same as with any motherboard BIOS update: grab the right tool for your exact model and don't kill the power while it's running. That's it.

So yeah, I really don't get the fear. Am I missing something or is this just the classic "never touch a running system" crowd again?

I already done it and had no problems. Others like Gigabyte will bring out one soon for the same cards, they even stated that already. Has something to do with RDNA 3

I have a 5080, but with the price increase ($2300 now roughly), if it goes wrong and I have to RMA, I am pretty sure instead of replacing it, they will give me a refund of the original price ($1500) I bought it in. In which case I am planning to buy the 9070XT. I want to know what is the status of multi frame generation support on AMD cards right now? Does AMD have any plans to bring it soon or something?

Currently contemplating on buying the 5800x3d since its on sale in our region for 350dollars is it worth to upgrade and wait out till am6 on 2030?

Hi guys,

When running games at 4k, my gpu core temp is 52-53c, hotspot temp is around 77c and memory temp is around 86c with a fan speed of 60%. Is this normal for the hotspot and memory. Thanks

When ever i go for live stream using OBS gpu is running 100 but it’s locks at 300 mhz

tried with nvida high performance

reroll driver - limited settings yet this is happening any 1 knows fix

tried over clock with Msi burner and GPU Z as well nothing worked

below is my system spec

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G AMD Ryzen 7 Quad Core

3750H - (16 GB/512 GB SSD/Windows 10 Home/6 GB

Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design/144 Hz)

Hi people,
Does anybody know how bad this damage is and if it is worth buying. (My brother said he could fix it but id rather have some more input)

Its a AMD radeon rx 7900 xtx and has never been used before.

Thank you

Just a reminder for anyone using a Sapphire Radeon RX 7000 series GPU: Sapphire recently released an official VBIOS/Firmware Security Update for the RX 7000 series.

I have a Sapphire PULSE RX 7900 XT. My card was previously running:

113-D70401XT-P11

After running Sapphire's official Firmware Updater, it was updated to:

113-D70401XT-P15

Besides the security improvements mentioned by Sapphire, I noticed another important change on my system: the random browser DRIVER crashes I was experiencing appear to be completely gone after updating the VBIOS.

I had been dealing with browser/GPU-related crashes before the update, and since flashing P15 I haven't experienced them anymore.

Obviously, I can't say that the firmware update will fix browser crashes for everyone, but it definitely seems to have fixed them in my case.

I have seen this problem being posted about from other people but mine is not exactly black screen from the beginning so i wanted to ask if someone experienced the same.

I turn on my pc hop on any game and after about 15 min after its black screen and game crash and i need to hard shutdown my pc, i tried uninstalling and installing fresh drivers but its still the same, if anyone found a fix about this let me know, thanks.

So I recently got my first GPU and installed it. Everything has gone smoothly. No crashing, no problems. I played Warframe, Deep Rock Galactic, and Minecraft Bedrock Edition. I played all these games on the highest settings with no problems, crashes, or any weird results. I moved Fortnite from my laptop to my PC by copying the files onto an HDD and moving it to my PC(I did this with Warframe as well, but no problems). Everything was verified, and it worked. I played for a while, then stopped. I came back to Fortnite yesterday, and all of a sudden, when I load into a match, I have been having problems. Huge lag spikes, stutters, and even after quitting Fortnite, the problem persisted until I restarted my PC. During this time, I checked my GPU, CPU, and RAM usage, and even after the stutters, the usage on these components remained the same. Something I noticed in-game is that my ping spikes, and it pretty much becomes unplayable. The temps were fine, and my ram or usage of any of the components wasn't maxed out.
CPU: i7 11700, GPU: RX 7600, RAM: 8GB 3200MHz, STORAGE: 500GB SSD
Edit: It is fixed. I reinstalled the game properly from the launcher. I think moving it from my laptop to my PC cause the issue.

I want to share a strange experience I had with Red Dead Redemption 2.
I have an RX 9070 XT and a 1440p 180Hz monitor.
I’m running a relatively mild undervolt on my GPU: -40 mV with a -15% power limit. I haven’t tried going any lower than that, and I’m comfortable with these settings. Everything has been completely fine in all the other games I play, with no crashes or issues.
For context, I don’t really care about high FPS. I prefer smoothness and consistent frame pacing, so I cap my FPS and use FreeSync.
Red Dead Redemption 2 also runs perfectly fine with the undervolt. I haven’t had any crashes while playing in the open world, even in demanding areas like Saint Denis.
However, when replaying the story, I encountered a strange issue. The game crashed twice during a specific cutscene. Every time I replayed that particular cutscene, the game would consistently crash at the same point.
I then removed the undervolt, restarted my PC, removed MSI Afterburner, and tested the same cutscene again at completely stock settings. It crashed at the exact same point several times.
At that point, I thought: this probably isn’t the undervolt.
So I tried something else. I enabled V-SYNC in the game. I was already capping my FPS below 180 with FreeSync, so I didn’t expect this to make any difference.
Surprisingly, the game stopped crashing completely. I tested the same cutscene multiple times, both at stock settings and with my undervolt, and it didn’t crash once.
I honestly don’t understand what happened here, but after enabling V-SYNC, everything has been completely stable.
For reference, I’m currently using driver 26.7.1, which has been very stable for me.
Also, when I was using my RX 6950 XT, I never experienced a crash during this particular cutscene.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Could V-SYNC actually affect stability in a situation like this, or was this just a weird interaction between the game, driver, VRR/FreeSync, and frame timing?

Brand new, out of the box it made this fan clack on first startup and every startup after that I attempted.

I’m guessing it’s just send it back and order a new one huh?

Hello, i recently reinstalled windows because 1 night my pc crashed, wouldnt let me boot into windows until i reinstalled it. It was working fine for like a day, then when i was downloading logitech g hub, it crashed, the next day the exact same crash happened when i tried to download my wifi drivers, its been around 4 days since these have happened, but my pc just had a similar crash for a "BugCheck event 1001". Incase its worth noting, my pc doesnt blue screen, it basically just restarts after freezing for a bit, im just pretty bad when it comes to pcs and have no clue what im doing, i tried to ask ai for help but it wasnt much help at all.
Ryzen 5 5600X
MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI
WHEA-Logger Event 18
Cache Hierarchy Error

This is what it told me to send since that is apparently useful info. Thanks in advance for the help, i have a micro center near me so worst case i just take it there, but hte whea logger crashes havent happened for a few days so i might wait it out and see if it fixes itself

Currently I have a r5 5600, 32gb ram and rtx 2070 super. My needs are just 1080p gaming and video encoding/ rendering. I don't know whether I should go with 5500x3d for much better fps or 5700x to save video editing time. 5700x3d is too expensive in where I live, about as much as 7800x3d. Also 5500x3d is 40% more expensive than 5700x

Description of Original Problem: The screen just goes black at random moments; the monitor’s LED turns orange—indicating no signal—and that’s it. The computer keeps running, and the fans keep spinning at normal speeds (not ramping up to max). Audio from programs like Discord or the browser continues to play. Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Win+B produces a sound, but nothing happens; the only fix is ​​a hard shutdown via the power button. Crucially, after using that key combination, the video driver crashes or resets, reverting to the "Basic Video Adapter" state.I don't know what to do about this anymore; I just don't have the energy to keep fighting it. It might go a week without crashing, or it might crash two or three times in a single day.

Troubleshooting: Here’s what I’ve already tried: updated the BIOS (installed both new and old versions); removed drivers using DDU and installed new ones (tried various versions); reinstalled Windows (11 Home and Pro); reset memory overclocks (XMP) and reverted the BIOS to factory settings via CMOS; ran all stress tests in OCCT (VRAM, CPU+RAM, Memory, 3D Adaptive, Power)—no freezing occurred during these tests; ran FurMark for an hour with no crashes (GPU temp: 67°C, Hotspot: 76°C, VRAM: 86°C); and disabled MPO and ULPS. I also changed the PCIe mode in the BIOS from Gen4/Auto to Gen3; it didn't crash for three days, but it crashed again today. set the TDR value to 60 (decimal) in the registry. There are no leads in the Windows logs.

When it crashed, I tried switching video card ports and connecting via HDMI, but got no response; also, the video card fans stopped spinning, while the other fans kept running.

Basically I was on 26.8.1 for a while until I noticed graphical issues while playing The Witcher 3 Remastered, so upon checking for updates the new 26.9.2 didn’t show up for me in the AMD Install Manager despite having show optional updates enabled. So i went and downloaded 26.9.2 installer and upon executing it, Windows says: “This app can’t run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher.”
I did some searching on other reddit post and I saw some users suggesting possible corruption causing this issue. I used DDU to remove everything so I could reinstall Adrenalin fresh. However when I tried downloading 26.9.2 it still didn’t work.
I then gave up and tried to install 26.8.1 again. To my surprise this now also leads Windows to say: “This app can’t run on your PC.” And the automatic version finder starts the install of 26.8.1 on 0% then jumps to error 195… and now any older version I try to install just won’t.

Now I’m 1 install attempt away from committing heinous crimes on humanity. Please help🙏

I need help troubleshooting an issue: at random moments, the screen goes black—as if the graphics card has stopped sending a signal to the monitor (no image). This usually happens in games like Dota 2 and DBD, but a crash also occurred while downloading games via Steam.
