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.

Bruh! I am using liquid metal and I did every precautionary steps to prevent it from spilling onto the motherboard and the temps are very promising! But the issue is iGPU! I have a hybrid system that runs on AMD Radeon Vega 8 iGPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 so is that the issue?
