Client crashes constantly running GPU load on Radeon VII

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though AMD has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

Client crashes constantly running GPU load on Radeon VII

Post by Caboose »

It's pretty straightforward - if I turn on GPU folding, it crashes somewhere from 5-15 minutes in, every time. No bluescreen, just straight to black. I admittedly had a slightly underpowered power supply, but even changing that hasn't helped. Driver changes, turning off programs, changing BIOS settings, moving RAM around, nothing. It can CPU fold for literal days, nothing else crashes, RAM tests good, and nothing is overheating. Setup is:

GigaByte X4700 Gaming 7 Rev. 1.1 MB
G.Skill Platinum Silver 3600 RAM @ 32GB
Ryzen 7 1700X
Radeon VII with v106 firmware
Latest Win10

Latest log below. It doesn't seem like it's generating logs when it crashes though, because I don't see where it says I turned the GPU on, but I definitely did.

Quick update: If I tell it to wait for idle, GPU folding doesn't appear to crash it. The second the monitors come on though it's back to the same behavior if I tell it to fold anyway.

Sorry if I missed it, but what AMD drivers do you have and what GPU voltage/clocks/RAM are you at (if not stock)?

I have (currently) the latest at 20.3.1, and it does it stock, overclocked, underclocked, doesn't matter. It did it with older drivers as well as the brand new ones. I even put a new power supply in this thing.

My Radeon 7 did the same until i set it in radeon Control panel to max speed on fans.
i had to switch to manual Control to increase the curve of the fans to make them go to 100% speed. by default it's on automatic and it never goes over 75% fan speed which made my card overheat and pc reset itself when the card was reaching 90 degrees.

Do you mean 20.4.1? The release notes list a blackscreen/freeze bug when running FaH and hardware accelerated video at the same time. I posted a thread about it just now, after almost updating my Vega 56 driver to the same version (and avoiding it for that very reason).

No, 20.3.1 - I'm going to assume the same bug exists here however.
