I hope someone can help me with this. 😩
I recently bought myself a RX6600 (XFX) to replace my RX570 (MSI).
The first unit I got was faulty so I've send it back and got a new replacement. But this one also seems to have issues, or is it something else?
What are the chances of getting 2 brand new faulty cards? (... I ordered a new PSU this week, which was also DOA... spooky 👻)
I get very random black screens, windows is frozen at that point (monitor menu still works normal tho).
At this point I turn my monitor on/off a couple of times until they both seem to reset and it all works again untill the next black screen. Sometimes it resolves itself after some time. Happens during browsing, working, gaming, ...
I had FPS drops while gaming. Suddenly frames would drop below 10fps (when nothing special happened ingame), while on average they were 45-55 on medium graphic settings and this on 1080 and 1440p. So the new card was performing worse than my older rx570.
This seems to be resolved for now after I did a fresh windows installation yesterday and cleaned all my drives. But after 2h the black screen returned.
When the errors/crashes happen I get this in the reliability monitor: LiveKernelEvent Codes: 141 or 117 and recently I also get a2000002 and 1a1 .
It seems like it has something to do with the GPU but I can't figure out what.
Maybe it's the PSU that hasn't enough power for it, 550w (which is minimum requirement according to the XFX website). But recommended they say 650w, although I read on some sites people suggesting that even 450w should be enough to run a rx6600. I know nothing about this so.

My setup:
- Ryzen 5 2600
- Asrock b450m pro4
- Kingston Fury 16GB ddr4 2666Mhz RAM
- PSU Seasonic focus+ 550w gold
- reinstall all hardware
- multiple DDU's
- clean driver installations (tried newest and older)
- ran furmark and heaven (someone else noticed that there was a 990Mhz clock speed drop, even had a 37Mhz drop during CoD test)
- changed screenresolution 1080p - 1440p
- lowered the graphics in games even more, from medium to low
- a bunch of others things which I can't even remember anymore
