Green Screen Crash

Member
So, I've pretty much just been trying to record a video game with my high-end system for the last 6 months, and I'm starting to come to the conclusion that it is simply not possible.

Now, I am getting either a total black screen crash of the game or a total green screen crash of the game shortly after recording. I am not using a virtual webcam. Is there a known fix for this, or should I just stop using OBS at this point?

Thanks.

Sounds like a warranty claim or possibly several of them to me, that system has been a lemon since day 1. My condolences...

I hope you have been making notes of all the problems you have been encountering along the way. If so, send them to the builder/manufacturer with the claim, squeaky wheel gets the grease & having some ammo makes the squeak louder.

I've been thinking my computer is broken basically since the first time I turned it on. It seems to work fine for everything except gaming and doing anything with recording or streaming. The software encoders available in OBS, for example, do not work at any setting. I've no idea why.

Yep, I remember. I told you I thought your GPU may have been overheating way back then. 110c is abnormal, don't care what AMD says..

Looks like it's common, maybe something here will help.

hmmm I downloaded my chipset driver from ASUS main website instead of AMD main website. The driver on ASUS's site is slightly out of date compared to the one on AMD's website. I'll update the chipset driver and let you know if that fixes the issue.

My setup actually was working for a period of time, but it had a major crash during a game that corrupted my entire Windows OS. I think it was due to an outdated BIOS? Not sure, but I'm still recovering from that massive crash.

I think this crash is being produced by the Lytmi Fantasy 3 Neo 3 sync box. I'm not 100% sure on this, but seems like a likely culprit at this point. I ran Cyberpunk with pathtracing and was having decent performance without the sync box. With the sync box, game crashed immediately upon loading.

I would much rather return this stupid sync box than go through the process of troubleshooting my entire computer system with AMD tech support. I'll be running more tests tonight.

I think your mobo & GPU (bad vapor chambers in some units) are suspect. Asus screwed it up the X670 on release. Early BIOS were FUBAR, voltages were all over the place & then it got worse. Some of the later BIOS versions came with warnings that if they were installed, warranty was VOID. Bad voltages high or low can reek havoc to everything connected.

Good luck with the TS, hopefully you can figure it out quickly.

could be the 7k series driver too. there's been quite a few hiccups with it. but I've really no idea what it is. I am talking to AMD support now.
