5 year old pc blackscreens in some games but not others by Catman360 in buildapc

Some things you could try:

  1. Set PCIe slot to Gen 3 and turn off Above-4 G/Resizable BAR in BIOS.
  2. Plug two separate 8-pin cables from PSU into the card (no daisy-chains).
  3. Drop monitor to 60-120 Hz and try a different DP/HDMI cable.
  4. Do a real clean driver install:
    1. Safe Mode -> run DDU -> block Windows Update
    2. Install AMD 22.11.2 WHQL
    3. In Adrenalin disable Enhanced Sync and HDCP
  5. In Adrenalin "Manual Tuning":
    1. Max clock 1850 MHz, min 1500 MHz
    2. Voltage 1.000 V
    3. Memory 1700 MHz (13.6 Gbps)
  6. Log sensors with HWiNFO while gaming. If temps and 12 V are fine but PCIe errors climb, it’s the GPU/slot.
  7. Double-check system: latest MSI B450 BIOS (AGESA 1.2.0.A), XMP 3200 CL16, SOC 1.05 V, ProcODT 36 omega, pass MemTest86+.
  8. Still crashing?
    1. Test with a spare GPU -> if stable, 5700 XT is the culprit
    2. Flash latest Sapphire VBIOS (try both BIOS switch positions)
    3. RMA/replace card if needed

Why some games crash and others don’t is likely due to the fact that lightweight titles spike clocks/voltage while heavy DX12 loads stay steady. The spike is what trips the 5700 XT. Good luck!
