I'm facing issues with the AMD build process.
B650 Tomahawk WIFI RX Sapphire Nitro+ 7900GRE paired with Ryzen 7 7800X3D, G.Skill 32GB 6000Mhz CL30, Crucial T500 1TB with heatsink. Fresh Windows 11 installed via USB two days ago. Everything worked for a day before suddenly stopping. Playing World of Warcraft became impossible even with DX11 enabled—DX12 issues persist on AMD 7000 cards. Screen would freeze and become unresponsive, making it hard to close the application. Attempted to end processes through Task Manager but it froze instead. Restarting the PC caused delays, taking about two minutes. Even my older 2014 model restarts in ten seconds. Microsoft Edge stopped working and freezing recently, requiring another restart. I reinstalled Windows 11 yesterday, updated drivers from MSI Center, GPU driver, and software, and ran Windows Update. No changes since then. Only this incident happened twice in the past two days. A blue screen appeared with horizontal lines, though it was hard to see due to color distortion. BIOS and AMD Adrenaline report GPU temperature around 30°C at idle, CPU ~40°C, motherboard ~35°C—no overheating detected. Usage stats for CPU, GPU, and memory are normal. I’m confused and frustrated; this seems like the last time I’ll be buying anything AMD-related unless it’s my fault. Other issues exist but I can’t recall them clearly.
Hey there,
What operating systems are you using? You can verify this using CPU-z.
Consider testing RAM outside Windows with memtest 86+ to check for errors.
Have you tried starting in safe mode? Does it resolve the issue?
Additionally, what is your power supply unit? What is its make and model?
CPU-Z lists 1.J2 AMD - AGESA ComboAM5PI 1.2.0 from 06/27/2024. I haven't checked my RAM and safe mod yet, I'll do it soon. The RM750x is the PSU. Also, I didn't mention that I installed Sapphire Trixx for GPU RGB control; if you search online, you'll see it has five tabs, while mine only has two dashboard/hardware monitor options.
It's not for the 7000 series, but some say the J2 version performs well.
It might be worthwhile to look at the bios update again, especially if previous fixes aren't effective. Did you perform the most recent bios update? Also, check if you cleared the CMOS afterward.
Then it could make sense to handle it yourself for the newest beta release, since the present version is also in beta.
I resolved the stuttering and issues by using DDU and fresh drivers, though something likely went wrong during the first setup. The problem was on my end—it was configured for dx11 with "optimizations for windowed games." Once I disabled that setting, everything worked properly.
