That can only happen if something messed with the links.

Show me a screen shot of C:\Windows\System32\drivers\atikmdag-patched

Then delete the folder and run the patcher.

Deleting the folder worked on 17.6.2, so that error is not driver version related. But never happened before, always used the patcher

Something weird is going on because the patcher definitely didn't do that. The patcher created the symlink and something replaced it with a file. I'd like to know what because that shouldn't be happening.

I used DDU to clean the previous driver, installe 17.6.2 and installed msi afterburner, maybe msi afterburner messed something, i don't know. Well, i uninstalled it already, it doesn't work for me.

Seems that i can't run 6 GPU's on Windows 10 anymore using the RX500 series. Anyone got a solution for that? Used old driver but using them will cause lots of issues when it comes to oc and bios modding.

is it no longer nessascary to use "atikmdag-patcher-bios" if we are only trying to get are cards recognized by the drivers after a bios update? i dont see that in the instructions anymore. also, what is the most recent driver version this functions with? im currently using 17.6.2 but not sure if it works higher.

The instructions haven't changed. The -bios option still works. It's not documented here. 17.6.2 is currently the latest driver available.

I've been facing issues with my GPU ever since installing 17.6.2 AND patching it with 1.4.5

My eventlog is filled with this at random intervals (there are always some within the hour though)

Code:

Activation context generation failed for "c:\program files\amd\cim\bin64\SetACL64.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFC,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50608.0" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

Using "WhoCrashed" I've got the results below.I've had my PC crashing when left idle overnight and that led me to do a clean installation (plus getting an AM4 system) with latest 10 iso available.
Another thing to note is that, I have not had issues idling with my PC until the update 17.6.2 and patching ontop of it.Earlier Crimson versions I had no issues at all.
Extra notes:
I have HD 7790 that still gets driver support to latest, not legacy model.
I've run memtest86 after those issues occured, no errors were found.
I have a DVI-D connected screen at 73.5 Hz 1080p and a second monitor VGA to DVI-I 83.50 Hz at 900p.
I don't know if it's the driver itself, or the patch.But looking at the driver's location from below screenshot it has potential to be related.


My patch folder if needed.
