390x Screen Freeze

[YanDjin]

Hello all. since updating my gpu drivers, my sapphire 390x tri-x gives me screen freezes especially when watching videos using HPC-HC, but also tried quicktime and same issue.

- with drivers 17.4.4 and 17.6.2 the screen freezes, then it shows black screen and sometimes the screen shuts down, the system then recovers only to repeat the issue few minutes later

- with drivers 17.2.1 the screen freezes but it doesn't show black screen and it doesn't shut down, the system recovers and shows this in the event viewer : amdkmdap stopped responding (event 4101 display driver)

- drivers 16.5.2.1 are the ones i was using and function properly i tried uninstalling using control panel and DDU from safe mode. and the results are the same with the the three drivers i also tried disabling Pci express link state power management and same problem.

also the 390x is listed as 390 series in windows device manager.

At this point you might want to consider reinstalling windows...

thanks for the reply.

do you mean doing a clean install, format the HDD or reinstalling from windows.

note that reverting to the 16.5.2.1 fixes the issues.
