AMD drivers keep timing out/crashing Radeon VII #2262

3900x Radeon VII asus P-Prime x570 mobo, 32gigs 3200mhz ram Teamgroup, 850w corsair psupply

AMD display drivers hard crash every time i try to turn on nicehash, i initially got it working fine with a default gpu setting + extra fan speed, but it was gonna melt my gpu, over 100+ degrees junction constantly, i tried a single massive underclock recommended to me via https://miningchamber.com/gpu-mining/radeon-vii-mining-overclocks/ which worked, ONCE, but i got very poor performance and wanted to scale it up a bit, i tried that, and i have been hard crash looping ever since. All combinations of gpu tuning i try causes the same constant display crashing or even black screen crashes my pc, from stock to partial undervolts to heavy undervolts.

My gpu still plays games fine when i switch it over to my default settings on the gpu (although it's always been kinda unstable for gaming, probably hardware related, its a frankenstein gpu at its heart) , i dont do CPU mining and dont want to.

It sometimes seems to work a bit during all this display crashing, but it's wildly unstable and i'd be stupid to keep trying like this. Any ideas?

same issue, start Nicehash, but don't start miner. do into Benchmark tab, and disable NBminer KAWPOW and Nicehash will mine without locking up. My VII card is at 83-84 deg.C mining DaggerHashmoto

I underclock and overvolt my gpu clock. Max out vram and fans. Push -20% power thru it and sometimes it fails, but thats just the chance you take with NiceHash being they dont like hardware overclocking on our side.

Thanks!! worked like a charm, only problem is now my gpu is back to doing what it did at first, running at 100+degrees.... guess ill tinker with it some more.

Edit: got it working smoothish after some underclocks, -15% max freq, -10% power draw, fans cranked, still outputs 75-77MH's, ~78c junction temp, 60c gpu temp. Won't be great long term, but it's not worth water-cooling or opening it up and using thermal paste etc, im not tech savvy enough to do it without screwing it up.
