  1. i was waking the monitor from standby on my small form factor PC when teh whole screen just went black... audio kept going for a second, then stuttered, then the picture came back with a little notification that the display driver had stopped responding and recovered... this started teh same evening i installed teh AMD Mobility Catalyst Display Driver 10.5 update... heres teh message i keep getting:

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
    Device status:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    

    it happens maybe twice an hour now. before the update, zero problems for months 😤 I dont want to start blaming the hardware if this is just a bad driver, but I also dont want to ignore a card thats on its way out. where do I even look first?

  2. is any overclock, undervolt or "OC mode" enabled in teh GPU software or BIOS??

  3. yeahhh that pattern (black screen, then "display driver stopped responding and has recovered") is Windows TDR: the GPU didn't answer within the tiemout so Windows reset teh driver. open Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System and look for Event ID 4101 from Display or nvlddmkm/amdkmdag/igfx... the timestamps tell you if it lines up with your symptom. fingers crossed 🤞

  4. Accepted solution

    lol same thing happened to me check power before blaming the driver. A PSU that's borderline or a daisy-chained PCIe cable can cause exactly this under load. if it's a desktop, use two separtae PCIe power cables if teh card has two connectors.

  5. wait what id actually do DDU first rather than a rollback. rollback keeps teh same leftovers around, and a clean slate tells u more.

    day one patch is bigger than the actual game, classic
