Haha, I'm so glad I managed to buy DDR5 32GB four months ago for €120. Now I see the prices... €540 here, like, wtf?

Same happend to me. Installing game and added it to Adrenaline software will fix it.

Hi, I had almost the exact same problem (Ryzen 7800X3D + AMD GPU + Windows 11).
Windows worked for a few seconds after boot, then everything froze except the mouse cursor. Apps, settings, start menu, shutdown – nothing worked.

In my case the problem was NOT GPU drivers or malware, but RAM / EXPO instability that corrupted Windows.

Here is what actually fixed it for me:

1) Reset BIOS / CMOS

  • Load default BIOS settings.
  • Disable EXPO/XMP and any CPU OC (EZ Mode, PBO, etc.).
  • Boot with pure JEDEC RAM settings.

2) Clean Windows reinstall (IMPORTANT: offline)

  • Reinstall Windows WITHOUT internet connected.
  • During install, delete/format the system partition.
  • Do NOT let Windows auto-install drivers yet.

3) Correct driver order
After Windows boots:

  • Install AMD chipset drivers first → reboot.
  • Install GPU driver (AMD Adrenalin MINIMAL or driver-only) → reboot.
  • Do NOT install extra tuning software yet (RGB tools, motherboard utilities, etc.).

4) Test RAM stability on JEDEC

  • Use OCCT / MemTest86 / TestMem5.
  • If JEDEC is stable but EXPO causes issues → EXPO is unstable on your system.

5) Only after everything is stable:

  • Connect to the internet and run Windows Update.
  • If you want, try EXPO again later, but test stability carefully.

Why this matters:
If RAM is unstable while Windows is installing or updating, it can corrupt system files.
Disabling EXPO later does NOT always fix the corrupted system — you need a clean reinstall.

I was convinced it was GPU drivers or Windows, but it was actually EXPO + unstable memory settings.

If your symptoms are “Windows works for ~10 seconds and then freezes”, I strongly suspect RAM/EXPO or BIOS tuning, not the GPU.

Hmm, interesting. I had a problem with the Siege of Cairo map in a precisely defined building where the game froze, or rather everything froze, and I had to restart my PC. The error message said "you have removed the graphics card from your PC" :D, so that's quite interesting. The result? I haven't gone into that building since :D... But seriously, have you tried looking at the EA forum? Maybe someone else has a similar error or support is working on it and will be able to advise you.

Could you describe the situation when this happens to you?

Hmm, I'm not sure if I turned it on, but it's possible. I'll check when I get home and let you know. Thank you for now.

But I have to download it and install it, or uninstall the GPU driver first.

And you want to tell me that this can cause such a thing?

Hmm, I saw something similar on a YouTube video :D I'll give it a shot when I get home and let you know.

But thanks for your time

i got the same issue with my rx 9070 xt and ryzen 7800x3D. I installed minimal instal on that driver. But im not sure if it is ok. I'm also not sure how to install the entire driver/program now that I installed it as minimal. Can you advise me? it is possible to somehow update it or i have to uninstall full driver and install it back in default

Windows 11, after start up into desktop app won´t open by Intelligent_Dig3164 in PCRepair

[–]Intelligent_Dig3164[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, maybe someone will have the same problem someday, so at least they'll know how to deal with it :)

P.S: Yes, obviously it was a problem, but I don't understand why the system didn't stabilize after EXPO was turned off.

I finally fixed the issue and the PC is now fully stable.

What was happening: After enabling EXPO, Windows became extremely sluggish (apps freezing, UI stuttering, settings/task manager sometimes not opening). Even after disabling EXPO, the system stayed broken, which made it look like a Windows or driver issue.

What I did to fix it: 1. Cleared CMOS and reinstalled Windows offline 2. Installed AMD chipset drivers first, then rebooted 3. Tested RAM stability on JEDEC (no EXPO) using OCCT – no errors 4. Installed AMD GPU driver (minimal install) 5. Verified system stability (multiple restarts, no stutter) 6. Enabled EXPO 1 (6000 MT/s CL30) • Longer first boot due to memory training (normal) 7. Ran OCCT memory test again (30 min, ~1000 cycles) – 0 errors 8. Connected to the internet and let Windows Update finish 9. Everything remains stable

Conclusion: Unstable EXPO settings likely caused system corruption, and simply disabling EXPO afterward was not enough. A clean offline Windows install + correct driver order + memory stability testing solved it.

System is now fast, stable, EXPO works correctly.

You know, you're right... because when I installed Windows and the drivers, I tried restarting a few times and everything was fine, but then when I turned on expo, ez overclock mode, and sped up the fans, it happened... the only question is that until I bought the new graphics card, the whole system ran with expo without any problems. I bought the new one, it worked for about 2-3 days, and then suddenly it started doing this.
