5700 XT Black-screen Issues

[TristanD79]

Hello all, first post here,

 

I bought a 5700 XT to replace my 1060. It had a lot of problems with it originally, which I largely put down to poor drivers, and so I switched back in my 1060. As of 3 days ago I switched back in the 5700 XT hearing the drivers had improved quite a bit, and they have. All but one issue has gone; occasionally when gaming my computer will black-screen making a high pitch audible whine/burr on several occasions, disabling all input to the computer and requiring a manual reset. Any help in solving this would much be appreciated.

 

It should be noted I have not as of yet changed the default fan curve for my GPU. Any help in how to do this would be appreciated. (Edit: I have now made a custom fan curve).

 

 

Specs:

System: Windows 10 Pro x64

Windows is up to date

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte H370 Aorus Gaming 3 Wifi

Bios: F13 (F14 is the latest)

 

CPU: Intel i7-8700

 

GPU: Gigabyte 5700 XT 8GB OC

Driver: 20.4.2 (The latest)

Hello,

 

I don't own a 5700XT but I know that the 20.4.2 isn't really great for my Vega but it runs nicely on the 20.2.2 and it's also WHQL.

Hello,

 

I have the same setup at Tristan, and have seen this same problem... One additional piece of the puzzle I have tried is using at pcie 1x to 16x riser cable. The 5700xt works fine with the converter, but directly into the motherboard or with a full 16x riser the system doesn't even recognize the GPU. 

 

Anyone have any ideas I could try?

 

List of things I've tried:

BIOS Update

CMOS reset

1080 ti swap (works perfectly)

5700xt in a different computer (works fine)

5700xt driver updates

PCIe 16x to 16x riser (doesn't recognize GPU)

PCIe 1x to 16x riser (runs fine)
