Then the dots freeze, my RGB mouse turns off and the system crashes again. When I long press the power button to reboot, I get the POST beep, then the BIOS display, then the MSI logo appears with the rotating dots. Basically, the system crashes (RGB mouse stops flashing, connected audio interface's USB LED turns off). Immediately, I get the hardware disconnected sound, screen goes black.When I try to install Adrenalin, the screen flashes for a tenth of a second, resolution changes from the default 1920x1080 to a higher resolution in that flash of a second.After Windows install (via older USB created with Media Creation Tool, v2004), OS loads, with the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.Then in my desperation, I decided to clean install Windows. BIG mistake. I read every forum discussion I could find, tried everything (DDU, AMD Cleanup Utility, ran the DISM and SFC checks). My feeble attempts to fix the issue: Updated all drivers & BIOS (including AMD Radeon software and chipset). Issues faced: Driver timeout error (have sent multiple crash logs to AMD via the automated tool)Īffected applications: Everything The above configuration was working perfectly until January 2021, when I updated Windows to the 20H2 version. Paired with a 32" LCD TV as a monitor connected via HDMI.

Hoping someone will be kind enough to help!

Others have had similar issues, but their solutions haven't worked for me. I've gone through multiple forums trying to troubleshoot my problem.
