Rx Vega 56 Strix OC Keeps Crashing in games

[maurino235]

I have an RX Vega 56 Strix OC edition and it used to idle at around 30w. Now it idles at around 5W and it crashes in alll games. It isn't thermals cause it stays really cool.

Please post your full system spec.

What are you using to monitor idle wattage?
A 5W idle is really low, and concerning..... but 30W previously does seem a little on the high side.

I have dual monitors. I run a r5 2600x with 16gb of corsair vengeance rgb pro mem @3200mhz. I have a 1tb samsung ssd and a 1tb seagate hdd. The PSU is a Corsair RM750x. Also I don't really remember the actual idle wattage but im sure it was over 23W at least cause most of the time i'd be wacthing stuff on the internet and that's when i'd check the wattage with the AMD overlay.

Have you changed anything recently? Did you attempt to flash the vBIOS? Did you install a newer driver?

I've reinstalled windows, but this time i somehow managed to activate it using some weird method. Also the drivers I've installed should be stable.

1. This is not legit way to activate Windows.
2. Where did you acquire your installation media ?

I know this is not legit. I got the installation media from the actual windows website.
