DDU + AMD GPU – Black Screen After Reboot?

Hi everyone,

I’m relatively new to using DDU and recently ran into an issue I could use some help with.

Specs:

Windows 11 Pro

RX 6700 XT

Using latest AMD Adrenalin drivers

Display connected via HDMI to 144Hz monitor

What I did:

Booted into Safe Mode using DDU’s recommended option

Selected "Clean and restart" for AMD

System restarted normally

After installing the latest AMD driver, I’m now getting a black screen after reboot — no signal, even though I can hear Windows loading in the background.

I’ve tried:

Re-seating the GPU

Clearing CMOS

Booting into Safe Mode again (which works fine space waves)

Using onboard GPU temporarily (my CPU doesn’t have one)

Could this be something DDU-related, or a separate driver conflict? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Try a different HDMi port or use display port.
This seems definitely a driver issue. You card work without a driver. Use a different driver version or use what you had before.
