5700xt constant BSOD

[Prairiemedic]

Greetings everyone. 

 

I am having great difficulty with my new build. I have a Liquid Devil 5700xt attached to an ASRock x570 Aqua via a riser cable. I have a reference 5700xt on my old build. For whatever reason in BIOS its fine, installing windows its fine, but as soon as I put on ANY version of the 5700xt drivers, i star getting pauses, black screens for a few seconds, poor audio with notable artifact, and eventually, usually within 5 min a BSOD referencing a "Video Scheduler Internal Error"

 

This makes the new hyper expensive PC build unusable.

 

Oddly, when I run GPUZ it shows the card running at PCI 1.1 x8 speed. so I thought maybe I had a bad riser cable. So I got 2 new ones. One thermaltake pci gen 3 x16 riser and a phanteks pci gen 3 riser. The original one is the phanteks vertical mount bracket that comes with a riser cable. 

 

Oddly, the thermaltake cable runs at PCI gen 1.1 x16 speed, but thats the only differance, and the crashes are a few seconds more apart, but they still happen. 

 

so then I went into bios and changed the PCI slot from Gen 4 to Gen 3. thinking that was part of the problem. No change. 

 

my reference card acts the same way when attached to the aqua. however has no issues on my old build and runs at PCI Gen 3 x16 speed just fine.

So, any suggestions on how to fix it? It's frustrating to have these expensive components but have such issues.

I'd RMA that card and hopefully get another.  Or buy a better card for such a beautiful build.  

 

Having your aesthetics cost more than your performance... definitely needs better parts.

I am not sure its the card anymore, or the PCI risers. I put POP OS linux on it, and it has been able to game and runs stable. I am now thinking its a case of shit AMD drivers.
