Thegames I was having this problem in were Battlefield 2042 and Dead Space. As you mentioned, I would watch my GPU LED's shut off, the CPU debug light turns on, yet all fans continued to spin until I used the power reset switch on my PSU to reboot.
the fact that crash occurs with 7900xtx doesn't mean it is the cause , you can have forgotten to "load setup default" in bios when you change from one gpu to another , or if you don't do DDU when uninstalling drivers ...
Hey man, got the exact same issue here. And the fact that I have also have the same mainboard (MSI B450 Tomahawk Max) makes me kinda curious right now. Please let me know if you find a solution for this problem.
My CPU is a Ryzen 9 5900X and I have a 1200W PSU. at this point I might suspect the motherboard to be the origin of this problem. Somehow when I first installed the new GPU, everything worked fine and I also had no crashes or anything, but after a while it just started crashing constantly as I tried to play the games. Didn't change anything on the hardware or in the game settings....
I see you say you've tried other psu cables and slots but have you tried a completely different psu? I had crash issues with my 7900XTX as well and it turned out that a brand new 1250w Inwin psu was the issue all along. I even had it stable for a time when I changed monitor so it was really hard to solve the issue.
I'm in the same spot as you, my PSU is brand new, and I'm starting to suspect that it is the culprit. I haven't tested another CPU on mu machine but for the last 2 weeks I've tested this GPU on another machine, and had no issues. Step by step I'm trying to test every hardware configuration to try to isolate the issue.
I have similar issues, but my crash is only while browsing or on desktop and are random....never while gaming....i just change my connection from 1 cable split in two for 2 differents cables on separate rail.I will get back to you if the problem is solved...but i do think my psu is the problem since it start to coil wine just after i upgrade my gpu(was on 6700xt before whitout problem)
2 days since i plugged the gpu on 2 separate rails instead of one splitted in two.....finger crossed its solved the issue...for know...no crash and better benchmark score whitout even overclocking....i really do feel that the problem is fully or partly solved....
By disabling CPB and PBO, you reduced the consumption and heating of components, but did not solve your problem. By all indications, this looks like an overheated chipset. Just don't say that the PCIe x16 bus and memory hang on the processor, I know that very well. But when the motherboard chipset overheats and it starts to fool around, then absolutely everything starts to work incorrectly. Therefore, I suggested adding additional airflow to the chipset by connecting any fan, even a desktop one.
I think I must've gotten lucky, after a motherboard upgrade (I went from the B450 Tomahawk Max to an X570 ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero), I was still experiencing the same issues. At some point while tweaking my system, I had to clear CMOS, and miraculously it restored my CPU to functioning within spec! Unfortunately that means that I don't consider my above response to be a proper solution (more like a temporary workaround). I would recommend taking a look and seeing if you can do a CMOS clear on your board, and maybe that'll work for you.
Prior to this, I also found that adjusting the PBO2 Curve optimizer curve offset by +5 for some reason seemed to give my CPU enough juice to return to relatively normal operations (so my issue wasn't thermal related, but possibly has to do with the voltage?). But now that the CMOS was cleared I no longer need to do this thankfully.
I was experiencing complete crashes to the degree where my computer totally shut down and I had to shut off my power supply completely and back on, to be able to start my computer again. But your solution of disabling core performance boost did the trick for me as well. I would never have found that on my own.
Thanks mate, fixed it for me. I suspect that the issue was implemented when I imported a profile in Adrenaline (many of you guys mentioned not to have the problem in the beginning). By importing CPU and GPU and not only GPU it might have changed the BIOS setting.
However, I made an account to thank you which never happened so far
Oddly enough, this suggestion cleared up my problem.(I think) I was getting time outs every time I would open a browser and extremely sluggish behavior. Driver would get reset every time I opened browser. I disabled core performance boost and everything is working just fine now. Weirdly enough. Although I did change the settings in group policy editor to reduce the number of file transactions before it starts to use multiple threads for writing. Also, increased the number of threads it would use at max. No idea if that helped anything? I'm also running a decent overclock on my cpu and ram. Unsure what fixed it entirely. I also had never come across something mentioning to disable core performance boost before overclocking. Also, in msi click bios if you change any settings for cpu OC it blocks changing that setting. Anyways here's my specs.
I used the memory try it feature and surprisingly they're running at 2933. I haven't done any intense stress testing on them. I did Lower them to rated values when trying to figure out the GPU issue though. Put them back up to boost last night and no issues or crashes. I'm pretty sure there's no way they're holding that level of over clock though.
CPU and soc switching frequency are both set to 800khz. Load line 2 for cpu and load line 4 for soc. I need to tune it a little more thoroughly as my blck is dropping some under load. From what I've ready that's basically the reference voltage everything runs off of, that matters anyways. I also have the voltages adjusted somewhat. If anyone is curious about those I can get some screen grabs when back at desk
Couple of months a go someone mentioned that Apex Legends breaks AMD GPU drivers and the way to fix this is, uninstall Apex Legends, not install it again, use DDU to get rid of broken drivers properly and then install latest graphics drivers.
The problem is very strange. Yesterday I tested all possible settings, reinstalled windows, BIOS, ran everything in default settings and even so the computer gave a black screen and disabled the video card (yes, it disabled so I restarted the computer and had to enable the video card in device manager) when trying to run any 3D application (MSFS, FurMark, Hogwarts...) .
Try the following workaround:
1. Reset BIOS settings to default values (in order to remove all related factors on incorrect BIOS settings).
2. Open the case cover of the system unit and install some kind of fan in front of the motherboard chipset.
3. Test in any game where the problem was previously noticed.
I tried on my xfx 7900xtx 1093mv few days multiple games and benchmarks all went perfect then cyberpunk with path tracing pushed the cores to level where 1093mv failed and amd driver self rebooted gpu and game crashed.
I'd been dogged with a blackscreen crash on my current rig for the past couple of years using an RX 5700 XT. I tried the motherboard settings, drivers, firmware and nothing fixed it. It would always drop to a blackscreen like it gave up the ghost.
It's actually down to the OS setting Write behind the Cache to ON with the internal SSD drive. Apparently my SSDs just can't handle all the readwrites that high end gaming can produce, especially if it's increased through extra cache writes. I'm not sure if it's down to some sort of internal bufferoverflow of the SSD's internal cache, drawing too much power for the drive to do the writes or just reaching a temperature the drives not comfortable with but having those extra writes occur from caching is what was causing the crash.
I'd definitely recommend turning off the setting on your SSD drive if you are having the blackscreen crash and seeing for yourself if it stabilising your gaming experience. (If I'm wrong, you can always turn it back on should you desire, but I'm positive it's the solution for majority of these crashes)
I followed the steps from Disabling the Write-Behind Caching Setting Does Not Disable All Write-Behind Caching on the System -..., but that setting is nowhere to be found. I've also searched the web for some info of how to get there, but with no success. The only option I find is the "Enable write caching on this device".
If you still have problems, I'd also suggest looking in your BIOS for any mention of an ACPI S5/S5+S6 setting and see if it's enabled. (ACPI's handling from windows and linux is different, and some of the error logs are sometimes ACPI related.)
I am having the same issue with my sapphire 7900 xtx and even had it replaced via RMA. 2nd one doing the same thing. I tried resetting my bios and turning off core performance boost. same results. I even used HWInfo to look at chipset temps and put new thermal pad on it. I've tried many of the solutions and nothing seems to be the fix all for this.
a hard black screen with VGA error light and same manual power cycle at the PSU is required to get the system to boot. upon reboot my system goes into a 800x600 resolution and shows an issue in device manager with my 7900 xtx then after another reboot it's completely fine back to 4k (which is what I run my system at)
I purchased an OMEN laptop last week and I keep experiencing crashes when playing high-end games (namely the last Tomb Raider, GTAV, Total War Warhammer and Divinity II, haven't experienced crashes on other games).
The crashes occur seemingly at random during the game session, between 30min and 1h30 after launch. Screen goes completely black (I think there's no backlight at all), sound shuts down instantly and the computer is completely unresponsive, save for the notification sound if I plug or unplug somethin, which I guess means windows is still running in the background.
