Question Really confusing drivers issues , AMD Adrenaline 19.4.1 to 4.2 Optional.

[Manos GR]

So 3 days ago , I sat down to play Forza Horizon 4 to top off a busy week , but when I started my PC it would P.O.S.T. normally and then, in the transition from the BIOS Screen to the Windows Software, there was a full-on blackscreen, nothing would work, button presses would trigger sounds but no display. It was the day before that I had installed the 19.4.2 Optional amd software drivers, because forza horizon 4 would not run without it and a graphics driver update is in my opinion worth the time. To fix it, I went to safe mode and installed my older drivers again , the 19.4.1 version that is , booting up into windows normally, with horizon 4 not opening once again. I have faced graphics drivers issues before but no sign that my gpu is faulty , that is the Vega 8 integrated within the R3 2200G and with 16GBs of RAM, 2 allocated to the igpu... I just wanted to post this here , and ask if anyone else has issues with the specific driver version and how to fix them... By the way , if anyone could get forza horizon 4 running with the .4.1 drivers it would be good as well.
Any advice is welcome (and thanks for reading the whole thread lul)

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. List them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

Is the issue cropping up only on the 19.4.2 drivers and on Forza Horizon alone?

Well I didnt see any need to post these specs, but here you go if you need them.
CPU : R3 2200G
Motherboard: Gigabyte AB350M-DS3H
Ram : 16 GB Corsair Vengeance CAS 16 2400MHz
HDD: A simple 1TB caviar blue
GPU : AMD Radeon Vega 8 iGPU
PSU : EVGA 500BQ
Chassis : Aerocool QS-300
OS : Windows 10 Home 64 Bit
As an update , just yesterday my PC black screened again with the 19.4.1 drivers so i rolled back to the 18.9.3 drivers , that fixed both the blackscreen
and forza horizon 4 crash. So now I'm intrigued, can this be a problem with my graphics processor not being compatible with the drivers due to a problem?

Where did you get the driver ? Make sure you get driver specifically for IGPU, not general one. They may have same number but are not identical.
To make sure you have all proper settings, it's advisable to use DDU https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html in safe mode to clear old drivers and settings.

18.9.3 drivers is high as your card will support you need to disable the update till you buy a supported amd card amd may still be able to support it id be careful on future drivers if its a pcie it should had worked but an igp is liminted in every way what it will support

19.4.3 is now available, might worth a try...

FWIW, I had some very unusual bugs when I installed 19.4.2 for the first time. I had to roll back to 18.12.1 using a restoration point. Then I installed the newest chipset driver 18.50 from AMD website and try 19.4.2 again. Everything went fine this time. I don't know if or how updating the chipset driver helped, but there isn't much to lose by updating it before installing the latest graphic card driver.
