Crashes when updating Vega 56
Crashes when updating Vega 56
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and flow:
“I'm experiencing frequent crashes with my new PC build, specifically when running demanding applications like Heaven Benchmark. The issue seems to surface after updating AMD drivers beyond version 17.7, even after a clean Windows 10 installation and automatic driver updates. While everything runs smoothly with the default drivers, attempting to update them causes instability, often resulting in kernel power crashes (Event Viewer shows ‘Kernel Power 41’). I’ve already tried several troubleshooting steps including uninstalling drivers using DDU in safe mode. I suspect a conflict between the AMD audio and Realtek audio drivers, though I don't have definitive proof. Even without selecting HDMI audio within the AMD driver installation, I still encounter problems. The system consistently appears in Device Manager under problematic audio settings. My hardware includes a Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 3 motherboard, i7-8700k processor with an Assassin’s II cooler, 16GB of DDR4 2400MHz RAM, a Vega 56 graphics card, a 240GB Sandisk SSD, and an EVGA GQ 650W power supply. I'm running Windows 10 64-bit with two 2TB HDDs. I’m looking for advice on how to update my Vega 56 drivers safely and reliably without encountering these crashes.”
