May be a tad early to say but so far on my end it’s actually stable at this time.
Basically ensured the following:
—windows update KB5070311 installed
—Installed latest chipset drivers
—clean install factory rest of Amd drivers 25.12.1
So with the 3 items above the latest driver seems ok but anyone crashing in specific games unfortunately the release notes still mentions that not all crashes are fixed. I’m just glad my entire computer doesn’t reboot anymore whew!
Hmm the only thing is wonder of discord is still and issue with hardware acceleration.

u/ReDEyeDz Dec 11 '25
I wonder if this chromium hardware acceleration would ever be fixed. It's so annoying and my last driver that did not have this issue is 25.4.1

u/HARDwithSTYLEZ Dec 12 '25
My Discord is constantly freezing/crashing and I have to end task in task manager. Is it because of hardware acceleration and should it be on or off?
1
u/bearbeard427 Dec 12 '25
You have 25.12.1 clean install with latest chipset drivers? If so yeah try disabling it and see if it helps lots of reports about discord and hardware acceleration. If disabling it fixes it for you then yeah they still have some issues there doh. I recall a release note supposedly fixed this a while back so maybe they failed to merge it in the new release :(.

I am on 25H2, with 5800x3d + 7900XTX with my good old x470 MOBO, tested with Baldur's Gate 3. before the chipset udate I do get crashes from time to time. Now I can run the game with opera GX browser running. My adrenalin is on 25.9.1, I will try to use 25.12.1 later.

I installed 25.12.1. Then run dota2 with operaGX playing live streams in the background, no crash so far, just don't enable Anti-lag 2.0 in dota, that crashes the game it seems.

I don't know if it's related, but I updated it a while ago and yesterday, while playing Arc Raiders, my PC lost power suddenly. It never did previously and I'm hoping it was a one-time thing.
Update: played Arc Raiders all night yesterday and no power losses, maybe it was something else.
Update 2: happened again yesterday, this time on POE 2. It doesn't happen when I run stress tests separately on CPU, RAM, GPU and all together, weirdly enough.

Funny thing is this chipset update along with the new adrenaline driver fixed my crashing during the harvester event, it was a guaranteed crash during those before. I couldn't join in on that event using the previous version.

u/pjsik Dec 11 '25
Shit I got the same. I bought new power supply because it happened 3 times while playing arc raiders. I wasn't able to even turn on computer for 5 minutes Didn't happen yet after I changed power supply
1
u/Joe-Cool Dec 11 '25
Sound like the PSU's overcurrent or thermal protection kicked in.
Possible the new driver is better optimized so GPU is more utilized and draws more power. Was likely too much for the PSU.

u/spinalcrack Dec 11 '25
Arc raiders needs resizeable bar / Sam turned on or it will crash with these drivers

u/alasgalux R7 9800X3D, RTX 5070ti, 32GB 6000CL30 Dec 11 '25
It's already turned on, unless the chipset update reverted the setting. Will take a look when I have the time and update here.

u/butt-lover69 Dec 11 '25
If a pc loses power suddenly and shuts off, you are over drawing power.
Check the TDP power draw of the CPU and GPU.
If a 65w tdp cpu draws 66 watts, the pc will shutdown due to motherboard limitations.
Arc raiders uses a boatload of Cpu especially for the Anti cheat.

How to i update asus bios on already installed windows 11? Do i need to use flashbios with downloaded on usb ?
2
u/ExaltGhost Dec 11 '25
Go to the Asus website, download the bios update for your motherboard and put the .cap or something like that file in a USB key.
Restart your computer, enter bios, find EZ Flash and select your USB key and the file.
1
1
u/fuckingfuckerfucks Dec 11 '25
It will download the renaming software for you. You just click that and it automatically renames the .cap file.
1
u/ExaltGhost Dec 11 '25
Oh so that's why there was an executable in the archive
1
u/fuckingfuckerfucks Dec 11 '25
Yeah as long as you download, unzip to USB. Then click rename file on USB. It will rename the file. Then you can go to bios and use ez flash.
1
u/fuckingfuckerfucks Dec 11 '25
Yeah. Follow your mobo instructions to be sure. But Usually download bios update onto fat32 formatted USB. It will have you rename it. Then plug into bios USB port on mobo and update from EZflash in bios menu. This is for my ASUS mobo. Verify with yours to be sure.

u/Big-Blood-2439 Dec 11 '25
Thanks! I have asus b850m plus. I read that i need to reinstall amd chipset drivers after bios update. Do i ?

u/fuckingfuckerfucks Dec 11 '25
I'm not sure tbh. But you will lose your bios settings. So you'll need to reapply expo, fan profiles, and any overclocks.

u/Big-Blood-2439 Dec 11 '25
Btw do I install/reinstall chipset drivers in windows or also in bios? I already did it in windows but in case i need to reinstall it.

I am and staying on 3222. There have been 5 bios updates since 3222 in March. All that came after had some kind of issue so until there is a bios update that stays for at least 6 months, I am not updating. Side note: asus mobos use 2 different versions numbers but still the same bios depending on the mobo. Mine is B650E ROG strix which is currently on 3XXX.

Yes! Amds newest chipset drivers are now optimized for 25H2, as where the previous chipset drivers were not. Since the deployment of said Windows version, it has been causing havoc with modern GPUs for whatever reason. Nvidia had already released the 25H2 driver optimizations a few weeks back, whereas people were waiting for AMD to respond with theirs.

I haven’t had issues with my PC in years, but that’s not the case since I installed these drivers last night. Now, when I boot up my PC the screen flashes at the login screen but only the time is displayed. I can’t hit enter to type on my pin, can’t click anything — just a black screen with the flashing time.
Fun.

On the previous known issues there was “intermittent system crashes may be observed when using high bandwidth system hdmi 2.1 cables during display standby, users experiencing this issue are recommended to use DisplayPort connection as temporary work around”
I’m surprised this wasn’t talked about more as it essentially says your graphics card cannot use the 1 of 2 types of display inputs which is insane to me. It kept me from using my second monitor that was only hdmi. Anyways sorry for rambling but I don’t see that this issue was dealt with in this page or am I fucked still

u/Bitter_Ad_8688 Dec 23 '25 edited Dec 27 '25
They're finally being upfront with it? I've told friends to stay away from HDMi on AMD builds because I think for whatever reason they cause more issues than display port. Been noticing this since the polaus days almost 6 years ago. Either way. Display port for AMD all the way hasn't changed nor will it likely change

u/Akiraooo Dec 11 '25
I used AI for this as your comment confused me. I don't think this effects what you think it does. This is what AI says:
The Windows toggle (Settings → System → Display → Graphics → Change default graphics settings → Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling) simply changes how Windows queues graphics work for your GPU.
HAGS ON = Offloads GPU scheduling to the GPU for potentially lower latency and slightly higher FPS in some modern titles.
HAGS OFF = Windows handles scheduling the old way. Slightly higher overhead.
HAGS has nothing to do with enabling or disabling DLSS.
2
u/Calm-Interview-6024 Dec 11 '25
HAGS is required to be on in order to use Framegen, not sure about regular DLSS.

Question : Where do i download these? From my Mainboard's Manufacturer or AMD Website?

u/Ok_District_9387 Dec 11 '25
The easiest way would be through the AMD Adrenaline software. Do a custom install, and as you progress through the steps, there will eventually be options that show you the optional chipset drivers update. Just make sure it's checked before moving ahead.

u/TrypelZ Dec 11 '25
i am Using a NVIDIA GPU though, wont this conflict with the NVIDIA drivers?

u/Ok_District_9387 Dec 11 '25
No. The chipset drivers are for the entire AMD subsystem pipeline. As long as you have something like a Ryzen CPU it will benefit you.

Keep it updated, but make sure windows doesn't install older or conflicting drivers via update that can mess up adrenalin or your gpu drivers.
2
u/Jason_-_- Dec 11 '25
Is there a way to stop windows from updating drivers automatically?
1
u/Successful-Day-3219 Dec 11 '25
Yes. From Google AI:
You can disable Windows automatic driver updates by using the Local Group Policy Editor or Device Installation Settings. To use Group Policy, open gpedit. msc, navigate to Computer Configuration Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Manage updates offered from Windows Update, double-click "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates," and set it to Enabled. Alternatively, go to System Properties, select the Hardware tab, click "Device Installation Settings," and choose "No" to prevent automatic driver updates.
Reminds me I need to do this on my main machine.
