Hello, I have a Framework 16 from batch 7 that seems to have some trouble running games. Pretty much any game that I try to play will crash anywhere from 1-5 minutes of gameplay. The ‘crashes’ are basically the game freezes, audio will play for a few seconds more, and on my laptop screen I see the AMD driver error reporter pop-up on my task bar while the game is still frozen on my screen. I use a second monitor to play games on which is how I can see the bug reporter pop-up.
- DIY Edition FW16 with AMD 7700s DGPU
- Samsung 970 Evo 1Tb SSD with FW supplied ram
- Windows 11 22H2
- I have my second monitor pluged into the port on the GPU, a keyboard, a mouse, and a Scarlett Focusrite 2i4 plugged into separate USB A expansion cards all on the right side of the laptop.
- Games I have had crash on me so far are Elden Ring, Dragons Dogma 2, and Red Dead Redemption 2. I have more I still need to test.
- Things I have tried to resolve the crashes include:
–Disabling Windows MPO
–Using a USB C expansion card for my second deisplay instead of the USB C on the GPU
–Changing the AMD Mux from SmartAccess Graphics to Hybrid Graphics
–I have tried Power Saver, Balanced, and Performance power profiles
I can’t find many solutions online or anyone with the framework reporting these same issues so I’m sure what is wrong in my case. I would appreciate any ideas that might help my issues and I can add any information that might help diagnose this.
