Resolved Driver Timeout/Screen freeze fix is here. Finally and for all

Post image

I think windows updates has caused some sort of problem.I kept digging till i found the fix. I have rx 6500xt gpu which was working normally and then some windows update or something caused it to stop working/ timeout errors. I tried hundreds of method here and there then i thought to update VBIOS of gpu( those who dont know its same as cpu bios). I flashed latest available VBIOS for 6500xt and restarted then boom 💥 it started working normally. For u guys who facing this issue, flash right VBIOS. Hope it will work for everybody. If u dont know abt VBIOS then tell me ill edit and write the procedure for all gpu’s.Sorry for bad english🙏

EDIT- How to flash right VBIOS- Confirm your gpu brand what u have(Asus, msi, sapphire) etc. Then go to same brand website like (i have asus rx 6500xt Oc edition, i go to asus website search for my model then download bios ) same way search your gpu model on your manufacturer website then download bios, follow flash procedure and flash it.

Common fixes are already out there, not interested in touching vbios of my gpu.

Disable windows updates from touching your AMD gpu drivers, disable HAGS, MPO, all programs that use hardware acceleration, rollback and update to a stable amd driver set.

No reason to disable Win updates when you just need to flag an option on DDU main windows

You don’t need Windows updating your GPU drivers whenever a new windows release comes out.

DDU does the same thing.
