Possible GPU issues?

[usikker]

I have a PowerColor Red Devil 9070xt, recently I have been having a lot of driver crashes and stalls and today whilst only browsing the bottom 2/3s of my screen went solid colours and started cycling. The top portion that I could see worked fine.

 

I have tried using DDU and reinstalling the drivers due to the crashes.

 

What I am wondering does this look like a GPU issue and does it look serious enough that I should look at sending the card back/RMAing it?

have you tried the other bios for the gpu? there should be a switch on the gpu that you move.

Thank you, I have not tried that. I will give that a go and see how it goes.

are you overclocking? if yes that could maybe be the case because this had happened to me when i boosted my core clock too much sometimes

I have no overclock. The only thing I have done is make the fan curve more aggressive.

try to use the default one and check if it still does that, or try to run in safe mode

Remove all GPU drivers and SOFTWARE/Adrenaline.
DDU or AMD remover (or it's called something like that, by default it removes ALL AMD drivers in system).

Let Windows install your GPU drivers.

Try.

So far I have had no issues since switching the bios.

I haven't had the screen go block colours like the original post but it looks like the issue of consistent GPU driver crashes is back despite the bios swap. I have tried to remove all the GPU drivers and Adrenaline but I am still getting the GPU driver crashes whilst gaming. It seems to happen more often if I have tabbed out of a game at some point but it isn't instant. I did wonder if it could be my temps but I think they look ok and aren't consistent when crashing. I should have taken note of them but I will do that next time I play.

If you previously had a GPU in the same system, make sure the old GPU's drivers are uninstalled and the 9070XT's drivers are properly installed

There does not appear to be any other drivers installed.

I have tried both bios and it is the same on both.

Try to use DDU and re install the drivers fresh. That will reset all the GPU drivers.
