Just work your way down until the AMD driver crashing issue is resolved.
- Update the faulty AMD driver (nearly always fixes the problem)
- Roll back the faulty AMD driver
- Repair system files
Fix 1: Update the faulty AMD driver (nearly always fixes the problem)
Perhaps the most common cause of the AMD driver crash error is an outdated or corrupt AMD driver. So you should update your AMD drivers to see if it fixes the problem. If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your drivers manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy.
Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making mistakes when installing.
You can update your drivers automatically with either the 7 days free trial or the Pro version of Driver Easy. It takes just 2 clicks, and you get full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee with the Pro version:

If you’re not prepared to purchase the Pro version yet, Driver Easy provides a 7-day trial at no cost, granting access to all Pro features like fast downloads and easy installation. No charges will occur until after your 7-day trial period ends.) - After updating, restart your computer to take effect.
Fix 2: Roll back the faulty AMD driver
If you never have this AMD driver crashing issue until recently when you updated the most recent driver, chances are it’s this new driver that’s causing the problem. So we should try rolling it back to the previous version.
Here’s how:
- On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time, then type devmgmt.msc into the box and press Enter.
- Locate on the faulty AMD driver and double-click on it.
- Click the Driver tab and then click Roll Back Driver.
- Click Yes to confirm. Then the driver will be restored to a previous version.
- Restart you computer and check if the problem is resolved.
Fix 3: Repair system files
Missing, corrupt or damaged system files may cause display drivers to crash. To eliminate this issue as a possible cause, you can try the fix below to repair possible system file issues.
System File Checker (SFC) is a handy feature in Windows that helps scan your system files and repair missing or corrupted system files(including those related to BSOD). To run the SFC scan:
- On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and type cmd. Then click Run as administrator.
- Click Yes when prompted to confirm.
- In the command prompt window, type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
It’ll take some time for the SFC to replace the corrupted system files with new ones if it detects any, so please be patient. - Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
- Check your computer to see if the AMD drivers crashing problem has been fixed.
