GPU issue
GPU issue
I experienced frequent issues with my GPU drivers, including crashes and "artifacting" pixels across various games like Valorant, Battlefield, and Firewatch. Despite updating BIOS, drivers, and even reinstalling Windows, the problems persisted regardless of the game. I eventually suspected a hardware problem. To resolve this, I replaced my RX 5600 XT Sapphire Pulse with a new RX 9060 XT 16GB Sapphire Nitro+ and upgraded to a Corsair RM850e power supply. For the first week it worked perfectly, but after a few hours of gameplay, the same issues began to appear again. I believe the main cause was overheating, though I didn’t notice any temperature spikes. I haven’t overclocked the GPU since purchasing it, as my only motivation was to prevent crashes. Here are my current specifications from last summer:

Should I keep it?
I removed everything from the old drive with windows and reinstalled it from scrap using a USB. The only thing I didn’t do was enable offline mode.

Refer to the provided link for details.
Try to update to version 7E26v1M6 (beta). After confirming the BIOS update succeeded, reset the CMOS. Ideally, turn off the power supply and display, remove the CMOS battery, hold the power button for 30 seconds to discharge any remaining charge, then reinstall the battery after 30 minutes.
Once the CMOS is cleared, return to BIOS, disable the iGPU, ensure AMD's E.X.P.O or X.M.P is active, and proceed with the DDU instructions.
