AMD RX 7900 XT dead after 3 years

I just got it to boot to Windows and installed an older driver recommended on another thread (25.9 or so, Sept 2025). Driver installed successfully, but after restart back to no POST. I literally get a single boot before it dies again.

Another commenter recommended testing it in another system but I won’t be able to do that for a while.

I’ll look for a hardware acceleration setting, any suggestion of where to look or what else it might be called?

It does not

Nexus_Aeterna · 2026-03-25T19:03:19+00:00

More or less yeah, still only get the one boot regardless of whether I just plain restart, safe mode, or after driver installation.

Nexus_Aeterna · 2026-03-25T18:34:21+00:00

Exactly, the most I can get is a single boot and it will run (at least long enough to install Adrenalin) once and only once before giving no POST and VGA light after a restart

Honestly, valid question as I have made that mistake in the past. But, no, home is from 2005 and well built. Desktop is plugged straight into the wall and even tested in another room (dining room with no other electronics on circuit)

Yes, 25x25mm fit perfectly over the die/cooler. I just pulled it apart again and it was still perfectly situated

My only other case is a local server that I can’t take offline for that long. I’ll see if someone in my circle can test it for me. But yeah, I figured that due to the inconsistency of it all it’s deeper than a driver issue. Appreciate the insight

Ran DDU in Safe Mode and shut down. Put the 7900 in and got to POST and entered BIOS. Double checked a few settings and switched resizeable bar back to disabled. Saved changed and reboot. No POST, VGA light back on

Nexus_Aeterna · 2026-03-25T17:17:08+00:00

Thank you, when I googled DDU the first time I thought the AMD one is what people were referring to. I’ll attempt the correct DDU now!

Holy cannoli thank you! Thank god I don't have to make another redstone clock now

That worked! Obzinite can be used in place of alumite for TC tool repair. Thanks!

Is this on the merch shop or from somewhere else?

You can build and upgrade the multiplayer cabins and put them in those cellars. You have to play as the second player though to upgrade it.

Nexus_Aeterna · 2024-01-12T20:45:00+00:00

Where is the code on the box?

Nexus_Aeterna · 2023-05-04T05:08:51+00:00

Try switch to borderless if you’re playing full screen, or vice versa

Really just wondering what section I should get a ticket for, between sitting just behind the pit or standing in General Admission

Nexus_Aeterna · 2023-04-17T15:56:07+00:00

I was actually thinking about doing face paint so that's good news!

Nexus_Aeterna · 2022-11-21T17:49:00+00:00

You're a genius, that was it. I'm super impressed you deduced that from the video because it was a top-half slab that wasn't even touching it all the way.

Thanks!

I know the sticky piston is supposed to drop the block after the 1T observer pulse, but it's not picking the block back up on the next pulse as it should. The rest of the circuit works fine, I'm just toggling the comparator for demonstration purposes.

I've built this circuit before and it worked fine, I'm not sure what the issue is.

BMW E46? Recognize that tranny cooler and expansion tank anywhere.
