CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F

Motherboard: H510M-HVS R2.0

Chipset Drivers: Intel H510 Chipset

Background Applications: Discord, Steam, WhatsApp, Wallpaper Engine (Tested closing all of them, but the issue persists)

Description of Original Problem: I am experiencing constant "Driver Timeout" and "Access Violation" crashes in games like Death Stranding and Fortnite (on "Epic" settings). In Death Stranding, the game runs smoothly for about 15-30 minutes before crashing. In Fortnite, it lasts 5 minutes at most before the driver timeout occurs.

My brother has a practically identical PC (same PSU, same motherboard, and same BIOS version) and is facing the exact same issues. This leads me to believe it is either a power delivery issue or a specific hardware/BIOS incompatibility, especially since our BIOS (P1.50) was released a full year before this GPU hit the market.

Troubleshooting:

• Clean driver reinstallation using DDU.
• Tested both the current (26.3.1) and older stable driver versions.
• Attempted limiting/underclocking the GPU clock speeds.
• Tested playing with all background applications closed.

None of the above resolved the issue. I strongly suspect either the outdated BIOS or the Azza 650W PSU, as the crashes happen during power spikes/high demand moments. What are your thoughts on this?

Estou postando aqui porque suspeito de um problema de hardware; cheguei a publicar no subreddit da AMD, mas o caso ainda não foi solucionado.

Comprei uma RX 7600 há cerca de três semanas e estou enfrentando crashes em jogos como Death Stranding e Fortnite (nas configurações "Épico"). No Death Stranding, o jogo roda perfeitamente por 15 a 30 minutos, até que crasha subitamente exibindo as mensagens de "Tempo Limite de Driver" e "Access Violation". Já no Fortnite, o erro ocorre em no máximo 5 minutos quando os gráficos estão no talo, apresentando apenas o erro de "Tempo Limite".

Tentei de tudo, como:

• Reinstalação limpa de drivers via DDU;
• Testes com drivers antigos e mais estáveis;
• Limitação do clock da GPU.
• e etc

Como nada resolveu, minhas principais suspeitas recaem sobre a BIOS desatualizada (que nunca foi mexida) ou a fonte de 650W, que é de uma marca desconhecida. Suspeito da fonte porque os crashes ocorrem justamente em momentos de maior exigência e picos de energia. O que reforça essa tese é que meu irmão possui um setup praticamente idêntico ao meu (mesma fonte, placa-mãe e versão de BIOS) e enfrenta exatamente os mesmos problemas.

Especificações do PC:

• Processador: Intel Core i5-10400F
• GPU: RX 7600 OC 8GB Gigabyte (modelo Triple Fan)
• Memória: 16GB RAM (2x8)
• Placa-mãe: H510M-HVS R2.0 (BIOS de 2022, nunca atualizada)
• Fonte: Azza 650W, 80 Plus Bronze (PSAZ-650W)

Vocês acham que o problema pode ser realmente a fonte ou a BIOS? Ou haveria outra causa provável?

Hey guys,

My brother and I both bought a Gigabyte RX 7600 8GB OC (3-fan model) last week, and since then I’ve been getting crashes in some games when running on max settings, mainly Fortnite and Death Stranding.

I’ve already tried:

• Reinstalling drivers with DDU
• Testing older driver versions
• Limiting GPU clock

Nothing fixed it so far.

My brother has a nearly identical PC and was having the same “Driver Timeout” issue. While troubleshooting, we found some motherboard cables weren’t properly connected in both systems. After fixing that, his PC improved a lot and only crashed once after a few matches. Mine still crashes quickly in Fortnite.

I also ran a stress test, and after about 7 minutes, the circuit breaker tripped in the room where my PC is, and also in the laundry room where a dryer was running. This happened before I fixed the loose cables.

Because of this, I’m starting to think it might be a power supply or house electrical issue, but I’m not sure.

Specs:

• Motherboard: ASRock H510M-HVS R2.0 (same as my brother’s, BIOS hasn’t been updated since 2022 — could this be causing the crashes with a newer GPU?)
• CPU: i5-10400F
• RAM: 16GB (2x8GB)
• GPU: Gigabyte RX 7600
• PSU: Azza 650W
