How To Fix an AMD Driver Timeout Error

In this article, we’ll show you how to work your way through some of the most common issues caused by the AMD driver timeout.

AMD Driver Timeout Error: What’s the Cause?

There are several reasons why the AMD display drivers might keep crashing with the timeout issue. The following are the main causes:

  • Old Operating System (OS). If your OS is not up to date, the latest AMD driver may not work, leading to the timeout problem.

  • Improper Radeon configuration. The AMD driver may take a while to load as a result of many improper Radeon configurations of the AMD Radeon software settings. This leads to the timeout problem. These options could include the FreeSync feature, the Shaders Cache, etc.

  • Corrupted system files or the Windows registry. They can result in several errors, including the AMD driver timeout. They can interfere with the system’s ability to boot.

  • Overclock and overheat. If this situation arises, disable the overclocking settings. Often, when you overclock a CPU or GPU, the system overheats and begins to crash.

Are You Still Having an Issue?

If the problem persists and only affects a specific program or game, see if reinstalling that application fixes it. Make sure the games are using the correct DirectX version as some games prefer to use DirectX 11. If a browser displays the driver timeout issue, see if turning off its hardware acceleration fixes the issue. Some users claimed that keeping the AMD Radeon software minimized resolved the issue for them. If the problem is still there or if it reappears, have your GPU checked for a hardware malfunction.
