It seems lots of people have had this issue come up lately.
My PC will crash to a black screen whilst gaming and it will force me to hard reset via power button. The computer will stay on.
AMD had released the new Radeon Adrenaline 2020 drivers and that seems to be what causes it, particularly with the RX 5000s series cards. The thing is, I still get it even though I don't have a RX 5000s series card. It started happening about a couple weeks ago and I have tried a lot of things particular to it and can't seem to find the issue. It's forcing people to trade in their cards for the NVIDIA RTX lineup because of the crashing and stability issues seen across the drivers. Some people can't upgrade their cards like me, and I am stuck not being able to play games for hours because of the crash.
I have tried numerous amounts of methods, all ending up in failure.
Use DDU to uninstall graphics driver and reinstall
Select "Standard" in driver software, turning off all Radeon graphics features
Manually switching off all Radeon features such as, "Enhanced Sync" and "Image Sharpening"
Going to device manager and manually installing just the display driver and not the software.
Installing the latest CPU Ryzen chipset drivers
Updating the BIOS , updating the drivers
Rolling back the drivers all the way from 17.0.0 to 20.4.1 (Newest)
Reseating all components of computer, CPU, Graphics card, RAM
Booting stock settings from the BIOS
Undervolting and underclocking GPU with adjusted fan curve
Replacing all power cords in PC, such as PCI-E power and motherboard 24-pin power
Booting with only one RAM stick in PC (Both slots)
Booting in windows safe mode
Reinstall of Windows completely
Reinstalling Steam, Uplay, any launchers
Stability test CPU with Cinebench R15, Prime95 and FurMark. Stable
and much much more I forgot I did
My specs are:
Ryzen 5 1600 Overclocked to 4.0Ghz (1.35v)
XFX RX 580 8GB GTS Black Edition (1386mhz Core, 2000mhz Mem)'
ASrock B450 HDV R4.0 (BIOS ver. 3.70)
8x2 OLOy Warhawk RGB RAM 3200mhz (XMPd to 3200) (1.35v) (Hynix die)
Patriot Viper NVME M.2 256GB
Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200 RPM HDD
Rosewill HIVE 1000W PSU Fully-Modular
Windows 10 Home (Version 1903)
Currently running AMD Adrenaline Driver 20.4.1 Optional Version
Deepcool Matrexx 55
3 Phanteks 140mm fans pulling air from outside of case, one at top pulling air in
2 120mm fans pushing air out, one on back and one on top.
I like to play Rainbow Six Seige a lot. For some reason, I only black screen crash when I go to the MVP screen. Stability is completely fine.
Temperature is okay, as I max out 76C load when playing it.
