Help, can't run games on new build...

[jdmrtn]

I don't know what's going on. Games ran fine on my old build, but my new build is having issues. My new build has a Ryzen 7 7700x and a RX 7900 GRE. I of course had to redownload Steam and the game that i play (7DTD). but after playing for just a few minutes, the game locks up and says there an issue with AMD. All drivers are up to date and I am running AMD Adrenalin with all default settings. I thought maybe it was an issue with 7DTD, so I downloaded Call of Duty and it is doing the same thing. please help...

OK, stupid question, but do I want furmark 1 or 2?

furmark 2. Furmark 1 is for legacy systems.

To cancel the benchmark (due to 60s expired or due to high temp) press ESC. Also cancel the benchmark if you see graphical errors and then reboot your system if the graphic artifacts persist.

Looks like people are having problems in 7dtd here

https://steamcommunity.com/app/251570/discussions/0/4417550696867586872/

Different cpu specs but game crashes within mins up to 15 mins

p.s 7dtd is still in ''early access'' just as a reminder

Just ran the furmark. GPU temp hovered around 59c with a hotspot temp of 73c

The issue is, i never had a problem with it with my old system. It just started with this new build

so temps are fine, no graphics glitches and crashes. That means the issue is more likely with the driver. I doubt it's the RAM, else you're more likely to encounter BSODs.

Do you think reverting back to the previous version of the drivers could remedy the issue? If so, how would i go about doing that?

[Ettanin]

you could try a previous driver, yes.

For your GPU, they are here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/previous-drivers.html/graphics/radeon-rx/radeon-rx-7000-series/amd-radeon-rx-7900-gre.html

use a driver cleaning tool such as display driver uninstaller to ensure there aren't any remains before trying a previous version of the driver.

Cool, I will give it a shot tomorrow afternoon. I will let you know if it works or not. Thanks for your help

Radeon GPU drivers are a hit or miss and should NEVER be updated when you find a stable driver because AMD is not like Nvidia and they do not update their hardware after release.

Seemingly these Radeon drivers are all specific to the model perhaps.

With Radeon, you start with an older driver and work your way upwards therefore there is no need to use third-party software such as DD(ew)U.

Another issue with Radeon is that the Boost Clock might be running LOWER than the Core CLock and this has been an issue on some GPU's so check that and if you find the Boost lower than Core, simply raise it to the proper setting.

Now for my story, I own Nvidia and one day games started to crash and such. I asked for help here and people almost had me waste hundreds to thousands of $$$ because they thought this and that but it turned out that all the BSoD, Mem Test, etc... were all wrong and the solution for me was to down-clock very slightly my GPU clocks.

I also caught about 1000+ errors and warnings, some pertaining Apple Bonjour which also caused games to crash.

Even though Windows Shell Host Experience is broken on all systems because they really messed up Windows permissions after removing Guest Accounts.

You also should have stuck with Win10.

Windows 10 is not going to be supported by Microsoft from 14th October 2025

As a result, telling people to continue using Windows 10 is the worst advice

You are as bad as those who keeps on complaining ''why Windows 7 is no longer supported on gaming platforms''

I figured it out. or at least I think I have.

Steps I've taken thus far;

1. Rolled back the graphics driver to a previous version

2. Uninstalled AMD Adrenaline

3. Started pulling my hair out while banging my head against the wall

4. Lowered the refresh rate on my monitor

5. Various GPU settings

But no matter what I did, the games still crashed with the same driver timeout warning.
Then I went in and disabled the Multi-Plane Overlay within Windows itself. So far, I've been playing games for 2 days strait without an issue. hopefully, it'll remain that way after I re-update the drivers and re-download Adrenaline.
Again, thank you all for trying to help a 52 year old wanna be PC builder/gamer...

I am glad you got it fixed.

Are you aware we think you could have a dual card issue a IGPU issue with Main card.
board info dont say much about it. ( test with turn off in bios or device manager, then you actual do have a Main plugin card


Graphics Model
AMD Radeon™ Graphics
Graphics Core Count
2
Graphics Frequency
2200 MHz
USB Type-C® DisplayPort™ Alternate Mode
Yes


ps.
sorry i left your post but so many pitch in, at topic.

I can tell you game devs and steam, is not going to help ppl with Dual card issue and the consequnce if they have interference issue with each other, and what card and setup you have done. ( pay attention why its said like this. )
