Fix AMD Driver Timeout Has Occurred Error Windows 11 & 10?

[@novanoir8309]

RX 6600M user here, i've tried everything under the sun, from installing every available drivers, uninstall and re-install the driver, disabling windows from downloading the driver and re install the driver for the 10th time, still nothing. Here's where it started, it was after the last windows update that my driver start acting up, but at that time it was just need to be restarted and voila! it's there, now it just refused to work whatsoever, it keep crashing every time it detect the card (RX6600M), here's the weird thing, it was detected in device manager but not on task manager (possibly it's the freaking driver) If anything this made me regret putting my trust (and money) to AMD, they always had this driver issues, i paid quite bit money for this laptop only to be disappointed in the end, users shouldn't be asked to do this much work just to use their device, damn AMD now I'm truly disappointed.

[@who_is_arnob]

THE THING IS, No problem occurs if you are using Linux, so I am thinking It's Windows handling the driver problem

[@johnbarnvill2197]

I had the same problem using WIN 10 (clean install) and WIN 11 (upgrade only, I know, I know...). I've tried all solutions proposed in diffferent forums - nothing changed. Remarkebly, I don' t play games etc. The timeout error inconsistently appeared in EDGE, Firefox and other browsers when movies started, as it usually happens on the starting page of EDGE. Of course, I was concerned about a hardware issue... Finally I tried the solution proposed as 'last solution' here more than one month ago: Uninstalling Raden drivers and Adrenalin software using the available uninstall tool. Then using the Windows generic driver as 'emergency mode'. Using the Windows update function to automatically install the required AMD drivers. The very annoying problem has gone!

[@whotopu]

Hi, I am facing the same driver timeout issue on my device. Model : AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics. Usually I don't play game but I face the issue during youtube browsing on chrome. I have updated OS ( Windows 10). Driver Version: 21.50.02.01-220309a-377495C-AMD-Software-Adrenalin-Edition(22.3.1) Do I need to follow the same process? TIA

[@whotopu]

@@johnbarnvill2197 if I uninstall my current adrenalin edition as you proposed, which version of the graphics card will be run then? does it create any performance issue as I uninstalled the latest version? I may be wrong correct me if I did not get your solution.

[@johnbarnvill2197]

I‘m not an IT specialist… However, as long as you can boot your system, you will be able to reinstall Adrenalin an so on. I relied on the Radeon driver that Win installes automatically and haven‘t noticed any performance issues…

[@whotopu]

@@Ezechielpitau I did not go for the uninstallation process. Rather I applied for the latest AMD release and also applied Win10 latest upgrading. Now it is solved. Hope that fixed the issue in the new release.

I would occassionally get these timeouts when streaming video on browsers (not once during gaming so far) , the problem was fixed by disabling hardware acceleration in settings for Edge and Chrome. Edit: This issue started to occur again every time I tried playing games on the yuzu emulator a month later, fixed it by updating my bios.

[@ogtech5522]

Im having the same problem on my RX 6900 XT. I tought its because i had some old nvidia drivers from my old gpu 3060ti, but it still happens even after i installed fresh win 11 on my new ssd drive. So basically i just need to disable hardware acceleration on chrome and i would be fine ? It has happened 3 times in last 2 weeks since i installed new OS, and when this crash happens my 3D printer software also crashes, and i had lost a good prints because of this BS.

[@gaming_turbo5866]

I had the same problem but when i updated the bios it worked but after a few days the same thing came again.

[@leonardocook4444]

Even after I updated the driver it tells me the same error. I’m so frustrated idk what to do anymore I’m starting to hate PC gaming. Edit: none of the methods in this video worked what I ended up doing was hard resetting my whole pc games and all. I haven’t installed adrenaline software or anything I just let the games run on default and I do not tweak any settings whatsoever and thats what fixed it. Just in case anyone was wondering how I did it that’s how. Total reset of my pc.

AMD Software Adrenaline is what gives me the issues of timeouts. Installing just the driver removes that error. But no matter what version of the drivers I use, Windows11 disables the card and starts using the buildt-in gpu instead. Flickering screen and weird errors comming all the time. Adrenaline software really sucks. Using AMD RX 6700 XT.

[@johnbarnvill2197]

Now the following question arises: Did Adrenalin cause the timeout error problem (thad would be very sad!), or is the driver that's automatically installed by WIN 11 different from the driver that's selected and installed by Adrenalin?

I think is adrenalin, if you install drivers manually from device admin this dont happend, at least for me

The best solution for me is to remove the latest AMD driver and then install the older version.

[@isthattrue1083]

Maybe solution 1 or 2. The rest are crap. Refresh rate won't be a factor. A generic driver will render video card mostly inoperable. Power plan isn't going to make a difference unless you are on a laptop, either. The problem is the last couple driver versions have bugs.

[@milanm5211]

Lower core clock fixed this. It is old graphics(RX 580) and being unstable with original core clock. From 1356mhz to 950mhz and works perfectly!

[@theGamrPersonGuy]

RX 580, nothing here worked. Started having the problem when attempting to play certain high-graphics games (like Genshin Impact), but would typically go away for a while after a reboot. At some point the issue just kept coming back over and over and over no matter what I tried. Card itself seemed fine, at least according to Adrenalin's "stress test" results. Just now I instead tried reinstalling the drivers with a bleeding-edge version instead of current and installing ONLY the driver, not their dogshit software. So far so good. I can even select "Extend these displays" directly on my monitors instead of having to mirror them first. Just gotta hope it doesn't come back again...

I don't know if it is just a bug. My error comes up when I boot into Windows. I check the driver and everything is ok. I just disabled error reporting. All games play fine. I think it is more likely an issue with the software rather than a driver issue.

[@theotherchannel2279]

Just thought I would add. Have you connected your psu correctly. If you have two cables for your GPU do not use the splitter cable that comes off the other connection. Use two separate cables. I had it on the splitter and was having issues. I have now used two cables and all issues have gone. Even though my PSU is way over the power recommendations.
