    I'm not even sure what the proper term would be. It's not really a tear, but I've included a video of it happening here. 

     

    Just some things I've noticed:

    * It does not happen on the BIOS screen
    * It does not happen when playing a game
    * It does not appear anywhere when I'm full screen (such as youtube)

     

    It really only appears to happen on the desktop. 

     

    I've turned adaptive sync off on my monitor and I've made sure that the refresh rate are the same in both the Windows system and the nVidia control panel. I have wondered if having a slideshow background is causing it, but I'm unsure.

     

    AMD Ryzen 7800X3D
    B650 AORUS ELITE AX (rev 1.2) - BIOS F20a
    Monitor - AOC Q27G3XMN
    RTX 4090
    PSU - MSI MPG A1000G

    It's very intermittent and was a lot worse before I turned off adaptive sync on the monitor. Even when it was worse though, it still never affected anything other than when on normal windows desktop. It's a very weird issue that is slightly annoying but I also have no clue what it could be. 

    Hate to dig up an older thread but how are you liking this monitor?  Notice any black smearing? I’ve been looking into it as it has everything I want. High refresh, mini led, good contrast and brightness.

    Currently on 13th gen, no major boot issues to report. When you have the memory speed high enough, you will run into something called "retrain instability" where the setup will go from running stress tests for 24 hours straight to failing within 5 minutes after a reboot, though if you stick to pedestrian memory speeds like 6400 and below that shouldn't be a problem. 

     

    That said, I've also built a couple AM5 builds for friends, only one of them had issues booting, and I'm pretty sure the issues booting were more down to the 7900 XTX it was using not liking to POST with HDMI than it was an actual board issue (switching the output to DP fixed the issue). It sound more like you got a bad CPU than anything, though if you already sold the setup it's not possible to say for sure. 

    I messed with this thing for a long time. You actually helped me with the manual ram timings and settings. Those worked and out of no where it would fail to boot again. 
    it would do it even with the dp or hdmi plugged into the mb without a gpu in it. I also tried it with a 7800xt and a Rtx 4070. 
     

    After searching that b650 tomahawk WiFi I found tons of people having issues with it all over the internet. That’s when I decided to sell it, just tired of being up for hours trying to get the damn thing to work. 
     

    It sucks because when it worked the performance was great but it was always a matter of time before it would stop working again.

    Did you do a clean install of Windows?

     

    What's the brand and exact model of the RAM?

    Multiple clean installs of windows 11. I don’t know exact models #’s for the ram but I tried 

    g skill s5, not on qvl

    g skill x5 on qvl

    corsair vengeance on qvl 

    Corsair rgb pro on qvl 

  4. Sorry this is gonna be a long one but my experience with Am5 was awful. I’m curious if intel is having similar issues with ddr5. 
     

    I went from Ryzen 5600x to 7600x and had nothing but issues with black screens, no post, no boot, vga light, couldn’t restart had to power off and back on, if it did boot it would take over 45 seconds. 
     

    I went thru 2 b650 tomahawk WiFi boards, and 3 sets of ram that were on the qvl. I couldn’t run xmp or expo, it would run fine with manual settings then it would randomly not start again within a week. Running at 4800mhz worked every time, ran mem test and never got errors at 4800mhz with any of the ram sets but it would crash at 6000mhz. I tried every single available bios for that board. I got fed up and sold the setup after spending countless hours trying to get it to work right 100% of the time. 
     

    Anyone here on 12/13/14th gen having issues with booting related to ddr5?

    Sorry for bumping a sort of old thread, but I came across this after trying to fix my own crashing/freezing problems with my 7900xtx and figured I post something that so far appears to have fixed my issues on version 23.10.2. I have disabled both freesync premium and enhanced sync on adrenaline and "so far" I have not had any crashes. Games that would crash within 10 minutes have been running for over an hour now with no issues.

     

    I hope this truly does resolve my issues, and I hope it helps anyone else who may come across this thread. I have to agree with OP though. I moved away from AMD back in 2010 due to driver problems, and over a decade later, they still seem to have serious driver issues. I don't recommend buying AMD and I'll likely be moving back to nvidia next gen or sooner if this card starts acting up again after my current "fix".

    I'm gonna try this disabling freesync and see if it works

    Im going to upgrade my CPU soon as my current i5-10400 can’t keep up with BeamNG traffic, so I was wondering how much better a 7600X would be. I think AM5 is the best decision as it’s going to be around a lot longer, but will it be worth it? Will a 7700X be a more substantial upgrade that’ll be worth the extra cash?

     

    Edit: currently using 16GB (2x 8) ddr4 2666 and will get ddr5 (4x 8) 32GB 4800 cl40.

     

    Not sure how reliable online benchmark websites are and how it compares to in game performance, so I thought I’d ask here aswell. Thanks!

    @1080p the 7600x is around 20% faster and @1440p it’s around 15% faster for average fps while gaming. 

    The biggest thing you should notice is the 1% lows being higher and that will make your gaming experience feel a lot smoother. 

    For gaming the 7600x is a great cpu, I use one with no complaints.

    There was an original issue which SHOULD have been fixed... where it chooses the wrong resolution to sample from and that causes the crashing. Attempt 88% or 80% with FSR on.

     

    Also be sure to watch it, I was able to play Phantom Brigade for 12 hours once no crash, then it hit me just as I was wrapping up thinking that a reg edit to delay the timeout fixed it.

     

    This issue is like whackamole haha...

    That’s what it seems like

    thanks i was a bit delusional ig, my build is almost complete the only thing i am stuck at is should i go with a 3080 or 6700xt ,for 3080 i might have to cut some prices on ram, monitor and cabinet( will buy ram after 2 or 3 months) and 6700xt build is just perfect, ah shiii i am more confused than before

     

    just tell me which gpu should i go with  as i will not be upgrading that for next 5 years, and depending upon that should i go with a 1080p monitor or a 1440p one

     

     

    Your gpu will last longer at 1080p, I wouldn’t even consider 1440p for what you’re trying to do here. 
    Buy the strongest gpu you can since you want to stretch this system for a long time.

    Yeah fun thing they actually send me it 1  day early, the rep I am talking with really wants to help but... what they can do is very limited. Already sent a message and a youtube video of the darktide crash persisting, I am betting they'll ask me for MS32 and DxDiag agian lol. I posted a youtube video here too actually of darktide crashing today.

    Turned off FSR and didn't crash once in starfield and I played for about 90 minutes, that's the longest I was able to go without it crashing. Crazy how AMD's upscaler in an amd sponsored game was causing mine to crash.

    I was just doing some reading, interested as I have a 7900x and a 7900xtx and havent had any problems so far..

    https://www.makeuseof.com/amd-driver-timeout-tdr-windows/ have you read posts like this and tried disabling MPO?

     

    Also you mention in one of your posts that you originally had a 32GB ram kit and then bought another 32 GB kit.. do you still get issues with either one of those single kits installed? A lot of places strongly recommend not adding kits together like that and only buying matched sets.

    I haven’t read thru that yet but thank you for posting it. I’ll go thru n it tonight and see if it fixes my Starfield issue while not causing issues in my other games 

  11. Sooo.....

    I just loaded starfield, played for maybe 10 minutes and got this driver timeout error. This is the first time I've had this happen.

    I'm on windows 11 rig is in my sig, Running adrenaline 23.9.1

    Now I'm gonna be up all night trying to fix it, if I come up with something I'll let you know , I'll make sure I post back here regardless

  12. Is this happening across all of the 7000 series cards? 
     

    I’ve had my 7800xt for about 2 weeks now and Dead by daylight, Rdr2, cod mw2, fallout 3/4/NV/76, Starfield and Fortnite have all been great. I haven’t had a single driver timeout issue. 
     

    I do believe your having issues tho, I had a hell of a time with my 5700xt when that launched and switched to nvidia and just now came back to amd with am5 and the 7800xt

    In my experience this is usually an issue with fast boot. A later BIOS can fix this, though so can just disabling fast boot in Windows and in the BIOS. 

    I dug around in the bios and couldn't find fast boot anywhere, I did find it in the OS and disabled it.

    Since disabling it I've been able to power off and power back on the first try every single time and I must've done it at least 20 times over the past 30 minutes to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Thank you so much for this, you saved my sanity.

  14. @RONOTHAN##

    Using the v16 Bios and manually setting the ram speed, the timings, the dram voltage to 1.35 and the soc voltage to 1.25 It booted first try.

    I played games for about 3 hours with no stability issues or BSOD. I restarted the pc thru windows, 10 times in a row, I turned the pc off thru windows and gave it ten minutes and it took 4 on/off power cycles with the button on my case for it to actually boot again. Left it off overnight and turned it on this morning, first try and it booted right away.

     

    I am turning it off thru windows now to see what happens. Went to turn it back on, fans spin, rgb lights up, cpu cooler ramps up but no boot. Turned it off and back on with the power button and it booted no issue, all ram settings stayed the same. So far this is the best result I've had yet. Idk if I should redo the things you said to try on the V17 bios or leave it the way it is now

    There will be a submenu for memory timings, a little below the memory frequency dial. Manually set tCL to 30, tRCD to 40, tRP to 40, and tRAS to 96 (though 30 will also work). You need to also make sure to set the memory voltage to 1.35V. 

    Thank you so much for the help, I really appreciate it. I’m at work for the next 6 hours but I’ll give it a try when I get home. I’ll tag you when I post back if it’s working or not. 
     

    I’m currently running the v16 bios, I’ll try it on there first and if it doesn’t work I’ll try it on the newer v17 bios. 
     

    Should I mess with any other settings when I’m in the bios?

    You should be able to get that kit to work, there's two things I'd try first:

    1. Make sure you're on the latest BIOS. This was an issue on the early BIOS revisions on AMD boards where the XMP profile would not read correctly. This has been mostly fixed on the latest BIOS revisions. 
    2. If that doesn't fix it, enter the parameters manually for the XMP, that should work. 

    I’ve never manually messed with ram so I’m completely lost here. I know where the speed adjustment goes but have no clue about what numbers go where for the timings. 

    I know for my kit it says cl30-40-40-96 what letters are assigned to those numbers in the bios. 

  17. Gskill F5-6000J3040F16GA2-RS5K is the ram I have, it’s not on the Qvl but I’ve never had issues in the past like this. I thought since it has an xmp profile it might work but I might need different ram, figured I’d ask here. 


    In the bios I’ve tried running the xmp profile which is cl30-40-40-96 at 6000mhz and sometimes it will start but it will either drop a bsod on me or it won’t start again. I have to pull the battery or short the jbatt connector to clear the cmos to get back into the bios. 

     

    If I run it default with no changes the system boots and posts almost every single time but the speed is at 4800mhz and the timings are way worse. 

     

    1-Should I just own that I f’ed up and get different ram ?
    2-If so what should I get that’s known to be stable in a 32gb 2x16gb kit from Amazon ?

  18. I’ve been running a rtx 3080 10gb at 1440p and 4k for a long time. Older games are fine at 4k, newer stuff I run at 1440p. 

    I haven’t had an issue with my 3080 that made me say damn I need a better card. I don’t play on max settings unless I’m over the monitor refresh rate 165/120hz.
