Display Driver Crashing While Playing

[SpikeyPancake]

I been having this issue with my fallout 4 game for a while

I would be playing normally and all of a sudden my game would freeze the screen would go black and my monitor would say "no signal" indicating there is no signal being sent from my computer/GPU anymore, the only way to be able to use my computer is to restart it. This is the only game that does it, i tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers latest version too, i tried reseating my graphics card by takeing it out and inserting it back in and doing the same for its power connectors. The GPU fans themselves are not dirty and using msi afterburner, the highest the temp went was 70 C For a few day i was able to run the game just fine im borderless windowed mode but it happened again and I dont know what to do.

My specs are listed below

OS: Windows 10 64
HDD: 2TB 7200 RPM
CPU: AMD FX 8350 8 core @ 4.1 GHz
GPU: Saphire R9 380 4GB
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 R5 (rev. 1.0)
Power Supply: OCZ 700w 80 Bronze

That is a video driver crash. It has nothing to do with Fallout 4 itself.

You don't have to re-seat the GPU.

The issue is with your AMD drivers and/or any associated libraries.

A CLEAN install of the video drivers may help but O.S. related issues and codecs may also compound the driver crashes.

To perform a clean install you MUST remove all vestiges of the existing drivers first.

Windows should come up in "VGA MODE" with no AMD drivers present.

Then after a reboot you can perform a full install of the latest drivers.

There are some utilities that purport to clean out all AMD or NVIDIA drivers from a machine but use those with care.

I already did all of that before

I downloaded the latest driver installer to prepare myself for the reinstallation which was the amd crimson 16.1 drivers I used display driver uninstaller ddu which was recommended by users on steam and I performed the uninatallation In safe mode to make sure it didn't go wrong and when I rebooted it was in vga mode like u said and I went and installed the drivers from the download and after another reboot your everything appeared to work correctly and when I played fallout 4 it seemed to work for several hours and this morning out of nowhere
and it still happens again. I may want to add that this game is the only one it happens to

AMD sucks reason being they are slow to fix the problems with their graphic card for fallout 4..You are not the only one having issues with fallout 4..

No signal can also be a fried/broken cable. Like any equipment, cables can break over time.

Did you try swapping out cables?

Thats why i'm mostly believing that its a fault on AMD's Part for not releasing compitent Drivers for Fallout 4 stability

I can try that I have a nother HDMI cable to try out, but like i said since fallout 4 is the only game it happens to, the possibiliy is slim, but still plausable.

[Inside Out Ink Demon]

tried rolling back drivers and verifying. neither worked out.

Download the Driver you need to a download folder,

Boot in "safe mode"

Remove the drivers yourself or use a Driver Removal program,

Then install the new drivers

Then go msconfig and set it up to boot in normal mode....restart computer and play.

OK, I verified the cache (which mest up my dialog mod!), reinstaled drivers and deleted some of my save files, and i've managed to play for an hour with no problems

@Mr Ink 5000

Be careful though, cause even though it may seem like it worked, it may not crash on you for several hours heck even a few days then poof it happens again, thats what happed to me this week i was able to play for 2 days straight no porblems then early morning next day boom driver crashed

[Inside Out Ink Demon]

this is very messed up

[SpikeyPancake]

i know, so myabe the old drivers may be the solution i didnt test it myself, cause if either bethesda or AMD release a patch/update that addresses these issues then there is no need to downgrade the drivers


Another thought came across me, is it possible that the casuse could be cause of an insufficent Power Supply wattage ammount

Upgrading from a 700 to an 850 would it help?

My card randomly started doing this a couple weeks ago but now it seemed to fix itself I havent had it stop in a couple days now

@Kaystarz

If you're quite certain that it is not hardware issue (broken, overheating and so on), other software (games, apps, stress tests etc.) works fine then it's simply Fallout 4. Nothing you can do about it.
