Is there any indication that your CPU and GPU may have been damaged in some way?
Is there any indication that your CPU and GPU may have been damaged in some way?
I can no longer view extra metrics for my CPU and GPU in AMD Adrenalin after reinstalling Windows and encountering BSODS due to a faulty BIOS update from MSI. Originally, when I first installed Windows on my new PC, all metrics like clock speed and power usage were visible. After the Windows reinstall, I was limited to just seeing current temperature and utilization. Uninstalling the AMD drivers led to many BSODs, forcing me to reinstall Windows again. Despite several attempts, I still face the same problems. I used the full installation to confirm it. I understand from others that a minimal install lacks recording features, which explains my situation. In the tuning settings, I can see some options but not all, and I never adjusted tuning settings before. I can observe clock speed, voltage, and power consumption, yet the electrical current remains unclear. Even after removing my GPU and installing it elsewhere on a different motherboard, the same issues persist when using AMD Adrenalin. I’m unsure how to restore it to its previous state. Please help me with advice on recovering it. Here are visual references for your reference: the first image shows the old display, the second is the current one, and the third is when I switch to tuning mode instead of metrics. https://imgur.com/a/ObPGfS0
I've never experienced a problematic BIOS update, which is fortunate, yet I'm impressed you managed to restore your system after the initial issue. I understand that some motherboards include a backup BIOS chip as a safety measure in case the primary one fails. There are stories about failed BIOS updates causing the motherboard to become non-functional.
The ability to boot into Windows is positive, but the missing data in certain fields suggests some monitoring features (possibly sensors) are not operational.
I haven't used AMD Adrenalin beyond adjusting my GPU's power settings, but I plan to try a new system later today and test it out.
In the meantime, have you explored other software for tracking CPU voltages, currents, and power levels, such as Aid64, HWiNFO, CPUID HWMonitor, or CPU-Z?
These tools may provide static readings instead of live graphs, but they could help verify whether the BIOS, OS, or drivers are correctly accessing sensor data.
I faced difficulties after removing Armoury Crate (the exact reason is unclear), so reinstalling it resolved the issues—this was faster than reinstalling Windows.
