Question AMD 6800xt crashing to black screen when stressed

[Nejiijen]

Hello,

Today I've had an issue of my gpu starting to crash to a black screen then not coming back on. Sounds play after it crashes but I get no display. I have already done ddu and reinstalled drivers, and still this problem persists. I'm on driver version 24.12.1 and have adrenaline installed. Another quirk I found was that when running games if I lock the fps or my refresh rate to 60 there is no crashing, but if I unlock the frames and my refresh rate the game will run for a bit before the gpu crashes again. For context the first time this crash ever happened to me I was playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and it crashed when fast traveling and I had to restart my pc. I have to restart manually every time this crash occurs. Right now I'm at 60hz refresh rate and it's been alright. I just want to know if there is any fix to this, and if not, is this a psu issue or a gpu issue?


PSU is a EVGA GT supernova 850w gold plus I've had it for maybe 4 years now give or take. My gpu I bought in 2023 and have been using since.

Hey there,

Please list your full PC specs/

Are all of your system drivers up to date? What bios are you running on your mobo? Is it all games or just one?

I had this problem in all games and while stressing my gpu, I posted above but my specs are:

Cpu: i5 13600k
ram G.SKILL Trident z5 neo series ddr5 23gb 6000mt/s
Mobo Asrock pro z790 pro rs wifi


I was told my mobo bios is insanely old, so im going to give that a shot to update later. My system drivers are up to date save for the optional ones.
