"AMD has detected a driver overrun on your system"
Romain -
Hello, since March 2023 I have a new PC with an RTX 4070 ti and a Ryzen 9 7900X3D. I mainly play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. For about a month now, my PC has been crashing, freezing and a black screen appears for about 5 seconds. This is when the message "AMD software has detected a driver timeout on your system." appears through the AMD bug report tool. If anyone has a solution, I'm all ears! Thanks.

Hi
It's a big setup that needs to be perfectly cooled. How are your temperatures in games? In particular, the CPU. You can easily check with the software HWmonitor.

Waiting for other responses; I'm attracting Trolls....
Hello
Go to the Windows Registry Editor (regedit)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> SOFTWARE> Microsoft> Windows> Dwm
look for the DWORD value OverlayTestMode and set it to 5
Then restart the PC
If you don't have the Dwm key showing under Windows
Copy-Paste this code into a text file
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm] "OverlayTestMode"=dword:00000005 Save it under any name and remember to change the .txt extension to .reg at the end
Then double-click on it
Click Yes then OK
and restart the PC
Hello H0enheim. Thank you very much for your response. I can't find DWORD OverlayTestMode. So I tried the second method, but when using Notepad, I can't change the .txt to .reg. Here are some pictures to help you. Have a good evening!
Hello roro
You can also rename your file (apparently it’s cpu ; since it has no extension) add .reg (.reg) > cpu.reg
Or maybe you didn’t check the box to enable extensions
Otherwise, for the registry, I see that you already have the key Dwm
Inside you can right-click, create a dword32bits value
Here’s a tutorial >


Then restart and test
Good luck


Hello, thanks for your reply. My temperatures reach a maximum of about 81°C while gaming.
