Issues with driver timeouts in driver 7900XTX
Issues with driver timeouts in driver 7900XTX
Hello,
I recently completed a new build at the end of last year using a Sapphire 7900 XTX Nitro+. Initially, I believed it was stable, but after spending longer sessions, I started experiencing consistent driver timeouts after just a couple of hours. These issues didn’t seem related to load, as they occurred even when the game ran smoothly at near full GPU capacity for extended periods. Temperatures remained normal, ranging from the high 60s to low 70s under load, with a hotspot around the mid-80s.
I tried running a stress test in Adrenalin to identify the cause, but it immediately triggered the same error before the test could start.
I’ve tried several fixes:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers (both manually and via DDU)
- Disabling MPO
- Turning off hardware acceleration
Any guidance on diagnosing this would be greatly appreciated. I’m struggling to pinpoint the issue since it consistently appears after a few hours of play.

When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's important to provide detailed information about your system. Please list your specifications clearly, for example:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model. Also, mention the BIOS version for your motherboard at this time.
I've logged the crash in hwinfo; anyone can interpret it. Row 2561 seems to mark the crash location (or just before).
Updating the bios didn't resolve the problem but I tried a game that kept crashing during long play sessions on my monitor, not the TV, and it worked fine for three hours. It might be related to the HDMI output versus the displayport.
