Issues with CPU drivers on a brand new system
Issues with CPU drivers on a brand new system
AMD Ryzen 5 7600 MSI PRO B650-s with Corsair Vengeance DDR5 2x 16GB 6000MHz cl30 dual memory, AMD Expo and Intel XMP iGPU. Tested with fresh Windows 10 LTS and Windows 11 LTS. Everything functions, though performance is limited. Games run but feel slow. Controller installation causes driver timeouts and crashes; system enters safe mode. Adrenalin reports driver incompatibility. Screen flickers to pitch black. I've tried various driver updates without success. Uncertain about hardware issues, motherboard settings, or other factors.
Recent bios information available. Windows update status appears restricted. Chipset and GPU drivers seem to be sourced directly from AMD.
Get these chipset and GPU driver updates from the official sources:
- Chipsets: https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads.../b650.html
- Processors: https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads...-7600.html
- DDU: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5070
Run DDU in safe mode (prompt at startup). In DDU, adjust settings and restart. After rebooting, install the downloaded drivers, beginning with the chipset.
After completing the download, prepare to proceed by removing your PC from the internet. It seems both AMD and NVidia are trying to cause trouble with Windows, making it difficult to know what to do. Disconnecting appears to be the simplest choice—I just turned off my network cable.
Followed instructions precisely, even without internet. Installing CPU drivers caused the same issues and screen flickering. What should I do...this is really frustrating.
