    Ryzen 1600 locked at 1.37ghz

    I get this issue as well on my Ryzen 3 1200. Apparently others have had success updating the BIOS of the motherboard. I haven't tried it yet since typically a restart of my computer gets it working at my preferred clockspeeds but this is getting annoying enough for me that I might see what a...

    BSOD during install/uninstall of AMD Crimson 16.5.3 display driver, even w/ DDU in safe mode. Possible graphics HW issue??

    More bad news. I cannot seem to get into either Windows 10 proper or safe mode. Upon booting every time, I receive the "PAGE_FAULT_IN_UNPAGED_AREA". Considering I've read elsewhere on the web that this could be caused by faulty memory or bad sectors on the HDD, I swapped my memory sticks around...

    BSOD during install/uninstall of AMD Crimson 16.5.3 display driver, even w/ DDU in safe mode. Possible graphics HW issue??

    Okay, upon trying to install driver 16.3.2, my computer froze. When I hard reset it, I got two BSODs immediately with the error "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA" with one showing atikmdag.sys as the relevant file. Now I'm autobooted by the system into the Automatic Repair. Any ideas?

    BSOD during install/uninstall of AMD Crimson 16.5.3 display driver, even w/ DDU in safe mode. Possible graphics HW issue??

    Okay so gotten rid of the overclocks on all my hardware but upon trying to install any graphics driver, I still get crashing. Sometimes a BSOD, sometimes just a frozen computer.

    BSOD during install/uninstall of AMD Crimson 16.5.3 display driver, even w/ DDU in safe mode. Possible graphics HW issue??

    So after downloading AMD Crimson 16.3.2, I went ahead and tried to uninstall everything from 16.1 Beta, and in safe mode while using Display Driver Uninstaller, I got another freeze as usual and at the same spot. This time however, I got a full BSOD with the error code "CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT"...

    BSOD during install/uninstall of AMD Crimson 16.5.3 display driver, even w/ DDU in safe mode. Possible graphics HW issue??

    Okay, so I just tried to revert back to the 16.1 beta drivers which was what I had installed initially way back when on my fresh Win 10 install and unfortunately, I still have issues (i.e. it's failing to install properly). Luckily, there weren't any BSODs though it failed to complete (but the...

    BSOD during install/uninstall of AMD Crimson 16.5.3 display driver, even w/ DDU in safe mode. Possible graphics HW issue??

    Okay, I'll give it a shot. I'm going to try the 16.3.2 drivers and report back with the results. Also, I don't seem to have any system memory dumps. I do however have a couple crash dumps labelled "rundll32.exe.####.dmp", "igoproxy64.exe.####.dmp", and "RadeonSettings.exe.####.dmp" (with actual...

    Strange throttling problem in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings EE

    I understand what you're saying and I realize that a better PSU is definitely out there. But unless I know that this particular problem is caused by the PSU, then I am in no hurry to upgrade. I definitely agree though that it will likely die sooner rather than later but it's really not even a...

    Strange throttling problem in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings EE

    I see. Well, besides your feeling that the PSU is low budget, would you have any idea what is causing the throttling specifically and if I can confirm the psu is indeed the issue. I'm not going to go out and waste money on another PSU if this one is perfectly fine. If it actually is the issue...

    AMD Radeon Crimson Driver 15.12 will not install. Need Help, PLZ!

    I've marked a best solution. However, I eventually just reinstalled Windows and got around the issue that way. I marked best solution because it seems like it may work for others more committed to solving the problem without re-imaging their hard drive.
