Windows seems to act oddly lately.
So a few days ago i asked about my system behaving very weird. here's the post: Someone made a great suggestion to install the drivers manually from my motherboard manufacturer and from the AMD website. After a little bit i got it to work properly so i thought the problem was resolved but no, i still have the same issues. Does anybody have an idea what it could be and maybe have a fix for it? Thanks.
According to available information, either an incorrect driver was installed or there was a problem with your graphics card. Many older laptops experience this issue. I encountered it before. Avoid using the automatic driver installer. The best approach is to remove all drivers and disable the 'driver auto install' feature in Windows, then reinstall the driver from its official source. If you locate the correct drivers, we can assist further. Please let me know if you have any details about the drivers.
Sometimes its not a GPU or driver problem, sometimes its storage. What do you have your OS installed on? If you're confident that your storage is fine I suggest doing the following to have the best fresh setup possible: 1- Bios reset to factory and UPDATE (very important) 2- Install a fresh copy of windows and let it install the drivers it automatically gets. 3- After windows is finished, install all drivers manually from AMD & NVIDIA. (I'm sorry but from my experience Driver tools are not reliable don't use them.) 4- Then go to Device manager and update all important components' drivers. 5- Try to install the bare minimum software. (You don't need things like "Speed Boost" and "Driver tool" software.) 6- Tweak you system performance from the bios and set your power management to maximum performance to make sure your system is getting all the juice it needs. If that won't fix it I will 99% be a hardware issue. If that's the case I can try my best to suggest proper hardware troubleshooting. Try this first and keep me updated. Good Luck!
You can locate the installed drivers in the Device Manager. To remove them, go to Device Manager, select the relevant devices, and choose Uninstall device. After uninstalling, Windows will automatically search for available drivers for each hardware component.
I own an MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI motherboard with an ADATA SX8200 Pro 512 GB SSD placed in the slot above the first PCI-e slot. That's the drive where Windows is installed. You're asking if I should reinstall Windows, since that's something I've been considering too, but I'd like to keep it as a final option if nothing else works.
Avoid removing all drivers. Delete the graphics driver only via the control panel, then also remove it through the device manager. Disable the “Device Installation Setting” option as shown in the provided animation. Restart your computer once. Next, obtain the driver graphic from its official site and install it. https://imgur.com/tSbWTxr
I accessed the device manager and refreshed all connected devices. Only one driver required updating—a USB-C driver. I followed the instructions you provided, but the issue persisted. I observed that during active problems, the 'system interrupts' program shows high CPU usage, while it remains normal when the problem is resolved. Could this be related to the issue?
