Encountering the Error_Driver_Cancel_Timeout issue can be incredibly frustrating, especially when it interrupts your workflow or gaming sessions. Fortunately, there are several effective solutions to tackle this problem and get your system back on track.
How can I fix Error_Driver_Cancel_Timeout?
Before we try anything else, make sure that your chipset and GPU drivers are up to date. You can also try updating BIOS to the latest version. Also, try different RAM configurations and check for overheating.
1. Reinstall AMD Drivers
Some users are suggesting using an older version of the driver, so you might want to try that.
2. Lower GPU clock speed
3. Disable ULPM (Ultra Low Power Mode)
Disabling ULPM can help prevent the GPU from entering a low-power state that might be causing the driver timeout errors.
4. Adjust Power settings
This ensures that the PCIe slots are not entering low-power states, which can sometimes interfere with GPU performance and cause driver timeouts.
5. Reset AMD Adrenalin settings
By following these steps, you can address the Error_Driver_Cancel_Timeout issue effectively.
