"AMD has detected a driver overrun on your system"

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.

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

    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!

      Thank you all very much for your help!

        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
