AMD gpu driver timeout, blackscreen

I’m running on 24.20.01.02, and the only time I could semi-reliably force the timeout was with a hefty undervolt, but it was still very random when it would occur.

Currently, I run an undervolt/raised limit with a 7900 XT Sapphire Pulse. By default, it was set to run the boost up to 2657 mhz or something insane. I’m not sure it was actually attempting to do that or not, but on mainline drivers the timeout was occurring regardless of settings.

Sitting with:
500 mhz Min (Default)
2450 mhz Max
1025 mV

2626 mhz VRAM (Default Timing–Fast is known for massive instability)

Power Limit +15% (max)

SAM is enabled, but that’s not really relevant.

I don’t really have advice for this, other than that it was, effectively, solved for most people several months ago in a couple of back-to-back driver updates. My PC is not setup to be standard by any stretch of the imagination, so it’s difficult to relate to most, especially Windows 11.

More of tweaks I’ve done to my PC, and full specs, in this thread of mine from a while back. Whether or not there’s any useful information in troubleshooting the issue, I couldn’t say. This was aimed at trying to improve performance from doing Queen Ansurek and Broodtwister Ovi’nax, though, rather than solve any stability-related issues.
