AMD driver fun...

[WARburton]

is there any way to load a driver profile on system start.
i just want to disable fan off all the time.

i have game profiles set up and they work fine, but when just on desktop you get the good old (driver reset due to crash detected) crap
i just want to have fan off.... off

I think you need to enable fastboot in Windows for the driver software to remember these profiles.

There’s a problem with your GPU or more likely your OS if fan off is the difference between stable and unstable.

But in answer to your question

1. Turn off CSM in the BIOS
2. Turn off Fast Boot in the BIOS
3. In Power Options > Change Advanced Power Settings > PCI Express > Link State Power Management = OFF

I found these steps ensure my 9070 XT profile loads on boot. Though sometimes Windows update can change these power saver settings.

For reference, it’s the opposite. It needs set to disable/off as well as CSM (Compatibility Support Module). CSM is for older legacy OS support. It is unnecessary for Windows 10/11

you have obviously never used the AMD drivers hahah
its not the fan that makes it crash... its the neighbour smalling the door or giving it a funny look from across the room

1. Turn off CSM in the BIOS

already set

2. Turn off Fast Boot in the BIOS

same same

3. In Power Options > Change Advanced Power Settings > PCI Express > Link State Power Management = OFF

this is a new one all try that

im getting conflicting info, but i have it set yo off so will try on

lol. I know the old meme but this past 6 months or more, Nvidia says “hold my pint”.

Can't have driver issues if your cards on fire

FYI: some software conflicts with overlays and monitoring tools can cause repeated driver crashes.

Don't listen to me i don't know what i'm talking about, listen to this guy...

this looks to have sorted it, the driver as not reset as of yet.

Yeah, I think that’s the main culprit the made it stick for me, but have never tried it without fast boot and CSM off. Afraid to poke the bear

I think the AMD drivers were seeing some PCIE port power saving changes as a failed overclock profile and opted to reset to default as a precaution. Ironically they are playing it safe and that is a good thing. But in doing so are adding to the “AMD drivers suck” meme.

Glad you got it sorted.
