Without knowing your full setup and history of apps and configurations, sometimes the best solution is to reinstall Windows.

Under settings, Windows Update, Recovery, choose to Reset Windows, here, choose Reset while Keeping Files and choose the Cloud Install for a fresh image.

That is the fastest reinstall with the least headaches. You also get a list of all Third-Party apps you had installed on your desktop after the reset.

Then make sure to install the latest GPU and Chipset drivers from AMD’s site and you should be golden.

No need to redownload your games either, you just point steam, battlenet, etc. to where you have your game files located.

@SlamFireOpera @Vinci_x3 Yeah I also prefer Windows these days. Lots of people still make lots of mistakes on Windows. But I find it so easy to optimize and just enjoy the games.

[Draco @VarianceWisdom]

@HenEcch @Vinci_x3 I don’t care about them either.

But saying you can only game on Nvidia cards or you must switch to console gaming is retarded. When 90% of consoles run on AMD.

Intel GPUs are fine for gaming as well and match PS5/Xbox Performance.

PC gaming is still better.

@sailing_plane @Vinci_x3 What driver issues are you having on your card?

[Draco @VarianceWisdom]

@ClementDelangue @nvidia Nvidia will be just fine. Their products are too big to fail at this point.

[Draco @VarianceWisdom]

@aiwithadb @grok Even if Nvidia stopped all operations today, just disappeared, it would still take AMD and Intel at least 5 years to catch up in raw compute and CUDA and that’s with using AI.

They could probably close the gap in gaming performance a bit sooner but not in compute.

@CoachThomasG @Vinci_x3 I’m not sure AMD will ever produce a card as powerful as the 5090. At least not in the next couple of years.

But saying that AMD cards are not an option is retarded.
My 7900XT runs my games in 4k just fine. I have no issues on my 160Hz screen.

[Draco @VarianceWisdom]

@joshua_peters13 @Vinci_x3 I don’t have that issue and couldn’t reproduce it on my system.

I’m sure it affected some users with specific driver and card pairings but it’s not this AMD-wide issue everyone is making it out to be.

NVIDIA cards catch on fire. Doesn’t mean all Nvidia cards suck.

[Draco @VarianceWisdom]

I run the same card and have no issues on the latest drivers, so let’s see if we can find a solution.

What does the Event Viewer show in Windows, when you filter for critical events?

Are you by any chance using PowerBI on your current setup?

I had the curious experience where your exact problem was happening. Full system crash watching videos in a browser but gaming without issues.

It turned out to be a wrongly installed PowerBI stack that forced WebView2 to fight for GPU resources while hardware acceleration running in Chrome hogged the same resource.

The person didn’t even need PowerBI anymore so I uninstalled it and fixed all issues. This was also an AMD setup but the fault was in the way that the user set up his Power BI.

This is why having as much info as possible is so important in solving an issue like that.

[Draco @VarianceWisdom]

@Cookieface69 @Vinci_x3 What card and driver are you using? What’s your chosen browser? What version of Windows are you on?

That crash can be completely unrelated to the GPU.

[Draco @VarianceWisdom]

@streech85 @MarathonTheGame I have played it so far and can use my imagination to tell that it looks incredible.

And I know enough about game development to tell how insane the amount of work was that went into this update.

[Draco @VarianceWisdom]

@A_dmg04 @Destiny2Team Can we have an Inverse Flash Option?

COD and Warzone have this option so that a flash bang turns the screen black instead of blinding white.

That would be an awesome accessibility option.

Destiny has many bright flashes that can be very neurally demanding.

@discord So what’s the ETA on the new rust client?
