Question My computer crashed and displayed a black screen during basic operations
Following the swap of the VGA (GPU) with my friend's machine, which features an RX 5700 XT, everything functioned properly on my PC. Initially, the GPU worked well in his system, but later it began experiencing problems. Examining the AMD Adrenalin logs revealed that the driver frequently became corrupted automatically. What is the reason behind this issue?
I believe your GPU is definitely faulty now. It seems one of its parts has broken. Considering its age, it probably isn’t covered by the warranty. It’s time to get a replacement, though.
Hey guys, quick update. I finally figured out what was messing with my computer. Turns out, it was the OS I was using — Windows 11 Pro version 25H2, still in preview. Looks like it had some compatibility issues with my RX 6700 XT.
When I swapped it to Windows 11 version 24H2, everything started working perfectly.
Also, the issue with my GPU in my friend's PC wasn’t because my GPU was broken. It was actually his PSU — it’s only 550W, and I’m guessing it’s not the best quality (looking at the brand).
Hopefully, this helps out anyone with an RX 6700 XT running into the same thing!
In the future, this will be the type of information shared to ensure those assisting are informed.
