The kernel-power issue occurs consistently whenever I run the latest Modern Warfare 2 on my PC.
The kernel-power issue occurs consistently whenever I run the latest Modern Warfare 2 on my PC.
Intel i7-8700K at 3.70GHz, 16GB RAM, 64-bit OS, AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, and a powered PSU from NZXT 850W. Many people mention driver problems, but I think it’s more likely related to the PSU rather than drivers. It seems to happen only with this game, not most updates. I’m still on Windows 10, though I understand what I’m doing. I downloaded a Snappy driver installer to try updating hidden drivers I can’t locate. Any advice would be greatly appreciated—I just want to play
The game is relatively new, and AMD hasn't released updated WHQL drivers since May 10, 2022... I'm hoping they'll introduce a fresh driver soon instead of relying on Beta versions for a while. Have you tested the most recent AMD Beta drivers to see if they work with Modern Warfare 2? The 22.10.1 version from October 5th is worth trying.

The crashing seems mainly limited to MW2, doesn't it? I think you'd need to wait for driver updates or a fix from the developers. Regarding in-game overlays, try turning them off. It's interesting how similar this is to BF4 on Windows 11—DirectX errors popped up too. I disabled my overlays using MSI Afterburner/RTSS, cleared those processes, and the game launched smoothly afterward.
