FanControl doesn't work after driver downgrade
NiteOwl-OvO opened this issue · 2 comments
I have a new video card XFX RX6750 XT. It started green screening during long sessions in Hunt: Showdown and 7 Days to Die. I upgraded the Adrenalin software to the latest and the problem only got worse. A friend recommended FanControl. I installed it and the ADLX plugin. Configured it and it worked fine. However, after a couple of hours in Hunt I got another green screen. Temps should have been fine. They were holding around 60c measured from the hotspot. It was recommended to downgrade the Adrenalin software to a 23.x version instead of 24.5.1. I tried 23.9.3 and FanControl threw exceptions and "Initialization failed" messages. I upgraded adrenalin to 23.11.1 and got the same. ADLX reports no temp sensors found. I tried refreshing and FanControl crashes. This is what I found in the error log. I'm a c# developer, so this looks all too familiar. If I can help debug in any way let me know.

Update: I exited FanControl, deleted everything in the Configurations folder and the Plugins folder, then started FanControl. It did the initial setup. I went to Settings and imported the ADLX plugin. No temp sensor are detected by ADLX. I refreshed temp sensors and received a double error message: ADLX could not initialize or has no sensors. Found these new errors in the error log:
