[SOLVED] RX 5700 XT Pulse crashing after overclocking it ?

[Heytherefriend_]

Hello!

I have a 5700 XT Pulse by Sapphire and it has been working fine for 2 years now. I got a little curious and tried to tune some overclocking settings like VRAM, power increase and undervolting. After coming to the conclusion that it's unstable and not really worth it I reverted to default settings, yet I still get crashes in games.

Is there anything that can be done? Thanks in advance.

I'd start be double checking the settings are still in the stock configuration, uninstalling the program you used to OC it (unless it's built in software from AMD). Then, download DDU, extract it to your desktop. Next, we will be booting into safe mode to run DDU. Skipping this step can yield no results or bad results. Press the Windows Start button, click power, hold Shift, then click Restart. When it boots, it will be in a diagnostic mode. Click Troubleshoot, Advanced Options, Startup Settings, click Restart. Once it boots, it will be in another diagnostic mode. Click the number 4 for Safe Mode.

Once you enter Windows, find DDU and open it. Press Ok on the first popup then click Close on the second menu with the settings. Leave them at default. Next, at select device type, pick GPU. Directly below it, select AMD. Then simply click "Clean & Restart". Boot into Windows normally again and re-install your graphics drivers. Preferably the newest version. Hopefully this fixes any issues.

Very nicely said, and that's what I would recommend and also uninstalling any software that was used for the OC/UV.
Just fyi, there is a post on exactly how to use DDU on this forum, it's this one:
