Green Screen of Death & Confusion.

Not sure what you are saying here. Inexperienced users with tech? GPUs are not new. RTG is not new at making cards. I haven't really been paying attention to Navi issues, but if they have a lot of issues, AMD deserves to get railed some. They had a lot of time to iron these issues out. It made no difference if they pushed back the release a few months to fix even more stuff, it isn't like they were trying to get Navi out the door to beat NV at...anything.
Dont put words on my keyboard please. I said new tech (as technologies and not type products) and principles. Yes GPUs are new and I was born on July 2019, next day of NAVI release... Come on...

I wonder if OP has drop the riser card and try GPU on the board slot with PCI-E 4.0 enabled... Just for a test.
Or even another PSU.
 
Well hello there again... Say hi to my new green screen, and constant crashes of display drivers. I have tried everything, and in Event Viewer the Radeon Software keeps crashing randomly, not even doing anything. I just turned on my PC, and left the room. Came back in around 20 minutes now knowing are my screens with no signal, but audio was working. The f***ing driver crashed, on fresh boot up, on Windows' lock screen.

Just how... and why... It got worse. If last days I was having green screens around 1 / day, at this moment in one hour I got
  • 1 green screen
  • 4 losses of signal
  • 1 stuck of image

Sorry AMD but I'm jumping out of this ship. Filled my return request of the GPU.

// Thanks to everyone that lent a helping hand but this is a sad ending. I was really enthusiastic about AMD and this GPU but it under delivered...

Thanks for the info. Have fun with that.

I did no such thing. I simply said I don't know what you are saying. Then I added my bit that Navi being new is no excuse. They have been working with Navi for at least a year before its release. They didn't just draw it up, bake it, and ship it.

I wasn't sure if you were saying Navi being new to consumers or Navi being new to RTG.

Good luck, you will need it, even green suffer problems

Yeah shouldn't have to put up with that, might just be a dodgy card, get your money back.

Well yes. And similarly, in the case of 'green problems' the simple answer is RMA that shit.

I mean its great we help people out here like this, but we shouldn't be too eager to offer fixes, some of which break warranty, without mentioning that RMA is really the best path. Having to fiddle with a store bought product is just odd IMO.

And about Nvidia... I think we do agree the polish factor is a tad higher over there on most released GPUs. Most.
 
Yeah, might just be a bad GPU, but also problem here is that this first batch of GPUs (no idea when the 2nd one is coming) might be bugged so just getting another one might give the same results so I'm going to do that.

IMO 5600XT is just too fresh. 2060 Super on the other part is more mature.

I just bought a new case without using a riser card so I will get around to doing that. :toast:

Sorry couldn't help ya, hardware/software is a finickle bitch, hope going green (no pun intended) solves the issue.
 
As an update to my former greenscreen findings, the latest ASRock Taichi vbios from tpus vbios db indeed fixes my issue with enhanced sync causing greenscreens. No available vbios from XFX proper does the same.

It runs fine on my XFX Thicc III Ultra with Micron vram. YMMV, of course.
 
I had this happen to my father’s computer, he has a Ryzen 5 2600X and an old R9 380. No memory dump, just a green screen.
 
How many are of us, that reported issues, have Gigabyte GPUs? Can't it be the manufacturer's fault?
 
an under-powered gpu can freeze and behave like this...
 
Hmm, okay, but how? Underpowered by software or by hardware? Because my PSU is a Cooler Master 80+ Bronze rated with 650 watts, and I don't think that this caused all the issues.

Need specific model of yours
 
My PSU is Cooler Master GM Series G650M 650W. Or are you talking about the GPU? That's the Gigabyte 3 fans Gaming OC 5600XT

Certain labels have a specific model number on them. Yours is CWT which is average, look at the specs.

It seems for my experience, an XFX bios from late October 2019 fixes the weird issue with enhanced sync. Anything later works fine as well.

I aparently had a sample with an early vbios. No idea how, as the Thicc III Ultra isn't even that old, but the proof is in the timestamps, so...
 
Turn off hardware accelerated options in Firefox and other programs and see if it still happens
