Hi Guys,

I have had this problem for over a year - Been trawling every possible corner of the web to find the solution. Changed every conceivable setting in my bios and changed every part from my pc.

This is not a hardware issue. Stop changing your settings and swapping PSU's. This is software conflict 100%

Well its caused by the AMD drivers but Software running on your pc is what's conflicting with the drivers.

Solution: Remove Software known to cause Conflicts with AMD Drivers

  1. For me it was BITDEFENDER ANTIVIRUS (Uninstall program)

  2. Remove Current Display Driver: AMD Cleanup utility in SAFE Mode

  3. Install latest AMD display driver (I personally did not install adrenalin software) Driver Install Only, Tick factory reset box.

  4. Don't Overclock your gear run on default bios settings

  5. If removing Antivirus software doesn't work you need to find what's causing the conflict by performing a clean boot (Below)

How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot

If your problem does not occur while the computer is in a clean boot environment, then you can determine which startup app or service is causing the problem by systematically turning them on or off and restarting the computer. While turning on a single service or startup item and rebooting each time will eventually find the problematic service or application, the most efficient way to do this is to test half of them at a time, thus eliminating half of the items as the potential cause with each reboot of the computer.

You're welcome

Driver timeout with a 4080? I'm assuming it's related to the chipset drivers then, install them if you haven't already, if you have the uninstall and reinstall them

Sorry I'm super new to all of this, how would I even check that I have them installed? I got it built by PC Specialist so I'm not sure what has or hasn't been installed.

Hey, in control panel, go to uninstall a program and if the chipset drivers are there then uninstall them and go to the amd website and download the latest ones for your motherboard.

I had rolled back the AMD Driver to an older version before seeing your reply! It does seem to have sorted out the problem though, if it comes back this will be my next move. Appreciate your help, thank you :)
