They really need to fix the External Event Viewer for Win 7 Users, no issue with it in 16.4.2s

No issues with these so far. Now just "one more turn" in Civilization 6...

If my monitor powers off and i resume i get a lit black screen, all i can do is press ctrl alt delete to bring it back.

of course it wasn't gpuz fault, you wrote it but AMD is always screwing things up somehow.

On a good note, these and the last drivers have not caused problems (well 95% correct). i had my fan ramp up to 100% and i had to reboot to fix it. Googling around showed others had the issue as well but it seems to have been fixed as i only encountered it the 1 time
