AMD programs or drivers stop working during a power button press while using full screen mode.
Hello everyone, I’m working with a dual monitor setup and recently added an AMD RX 6800 16 GB. I’ve run into some odd problems. Whenever I try to switch tabs while in full screen—whether it’s during a game, a YouTube video, or an MP3 on Discord—I get my AMD software crash. The message reads: “AMD software detected that a driver timeout has occurred on your system. An issue report has been created that can be sent to AMD to help us improve our software. Would you like to report this issue?” I also experience recurring white flashes during full-screen alt-tabbing, and it becomes more noticeable when switching monitors. I’ve used DDU to remove any lingering drivers after the installation, but the problem still shows up. What’s unusual is that I can’t always reproduce the crashes consistently; they sometimes happen and sometimes not. Do you have any solutions or advice?
Enable DDU to skip automatic hardware driver updates, then execute it using the remove and restart choices. After finishing, install the newest GPU driver manually without using the adrenalin tool. If problems continue, the issue might be with the card itself. What model is it—does it have an XFX designation?
I added the driver without Adrenaline and haven't seen any white flashes or crashes yet. If the issue was due to the software, this should be a resolution. The main drawback now is missing features such as clipping and GPU tuning that the program offered. Are there other options for these?
Ok, good sign if it's not doing it without adrenalin installed. Means it's not the card. I've had issues with 6000 series and 7000 series XFX cards that required RMA so lucked out there. Next step would be to install the Adrenalin program, since you already have the driver you would install package for only the Adrenalin program. If that works you should be set. If you continue to see flashes/glitches after re-installing Adrenalin next step would be to see if it's software conflicting with Adrenalin. If you have an MSI motherboard and have either MSI Center or MSI Dragon Center(the older version of MSI Center) installed it's likely a confliction there, as it's been a fairly common issue, uninstall it and then reinstall Adrenalin and see if the issue persists. If you continue having issues with flashing/glitches after doing the above steps only with Adrenalin installed it's an issue with that specifically and you'd likely need to wait for the next driver update or Adrenalin version. It's been a minute since I've used a 6000 series AMD card so I have no clue if it's a current issue or not. I'm not having issues with Adrenalin and my 7900XTX.
