Adrenalin 20.5.1 making my PC go into Windows Auto Repair

Hello everyone, thanks for being willing to help me.

Here's my build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Plus max
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z 16GB
GPU: Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 5600 XT

So I've built my PC around 3 weeks ago, I barely had any issues except occasional driver crashes(?) where my screen would freeze (not necessarily doing anything), some black and white squares would pop up then I'd have to restart my PC.

Other times, while I'm playing games, the sound would be suddenly lost (my headphones are plugged to my monitor).

Anyways, 2 days ago, Windows suddenly went into Auto Repair when I started it. There wasn't anything to be done, I've tried everything I found on the Internet to no avail. I then decided to just stick to a full windows fresh install.

Now it seemed to have fixed it when two days after, the windows repair was back again. Nothing to be done either, so once again I had to reinstall windows.
But somehow it's even worse. I've had to reinstall every drivers, so I've installed the chipset drivers, the CPU drivers and when I try to install the GPU drivers (with Adrenaline 2020), either it crashes midway and reboots my PC only to be greeted by an Automatic Repair screen. Or I succesfully install it, restart my computer and once again, greeted by the blue screen.

I've tried again, fresh windows install, but this time only installing the drivers, one by one, no applications. Now the AMD Adrenalin 20.5.1 install just keeps crashing my PC, rebooting it, then Windows goes into Automatic Repair.

Thank you for your assistance, I really need some help.

 

Hello Yajasu,
is your HDD/SSD drive without any errors when checking it for example via
CrystalDiskInfo?
https://crystalmark.info/en/download/#CrystalDiskInfo

Also what exact model of power supply unit you have?

 

Hello SpajdrEX, thanks for your reply.
I have just used CrystalDiskInfo and there doesn't seem to be any errors here.
My PSU is a Be Quiet! System Power 9 700W - 80 Plus Bronze

 

Ok, so it's most probably not SSD/HDD issue.
When you get a bluescreen, does it mention any error code or filename?
You can also try prime95 > https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/prime95-download.html
Choose a default torture test (Blend) and leave it running at least 1 hour and let us know if you get any error during that time.

 

I used to get "Video_TDR_Failure" but I don't even get blue screens anymore, my issue is really installing the drivers. Whenever I install the GPU drivers, my computer shuts down, once it turns back on it tries to boot a few times and then I get that "Windows Automatic Repair" with the different options to repair it. Just a system rollback does the trick however, no matter how many times I try to install the 20.5.1 drivers, it just shuts down.

 

Is the same happening for older driver versions?

 

Do you have latest bios flashed for your motherboard?
Make sure that in bios you have set option for PCIE version 3.0 (Gen3), not sure if your motherboard have it though.

 

Hi Krteq, thanks for your reply
I just tried the 20.2.2 driver, it installs, however, once I restart, Windows doesn't boot and goes into auto repairing mode.

 

Hi SpajdrX thanks for following my case.
I indeed have the latest bios flashed for my motherboard.
I have now set the PCIE Gen 3 on my motherboard, however, the issue persists. Newer or older drivers, the same results occur.

BIOS UPDATED?

 

Hi Caesar, thanks for your time,
My GPU BIOS seems to be up-to-date as this model seems to be made after the parts model listed on the website.

 

Can you please post a GPUZ screenshot?

 

Well, then it seems like some faulty component

I would recommend you to do a backup and then try to reinstall windows to get sure about no issues on OS side. If those issues will be still occurring, then you will be sure that's a faulty HW causing it.

 

Try the 20.4.2 driver and check if issue persist

 

share a msinfo32 (on pastebin or google drive)

 

There I have attached a GPU Z screenshot.

With 20.5.1 driversSome users (on the web) are mentioning that stuttering occurs (2seconds) with no disk reading at times.
Well, you may get crashing also with 20.4.2 but lesser may be

 

Could you try your GFX card in friend's computer?
Also try it in other PCIE slot, even if it's have lower bandwidth.

 

Would the symptoms I have described be linked to a faulty GPU?
