freeze tiny11

[jackygoule]

Hello,

I installed Tiny11 (UEFI mode) on the following hardware:

• CPU: AMD FX-8150
• GPU: AMD Radeon R9 380
• RAM: 14 GB DDR3
• SSD + 550W PSU

Activation was done using a valid OEM Windows 11 and Office license. Everything worked perfectly — Steam games ran fine, no issues.

Later, I added a dual-boot setup with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Ubuntu runs flawlessly.

However, after booting back into Tiny11, I started experiencing freezes after a few minutes. No specific errors appear in the Event Viewer — no indexed crash, no GPU fault, just a silent freeze.

Safe Mode is disabled by design, and I’ve tested multiple AMD driver versions (Crimson 16.11.5 WHQL, Adrenalin 2020/2021). The issue persists regardless of driver.

This behavior only started after installing Ubuntu. Before that, Tiny11 was stable.

Any insight into possible EFI/ACPI conflicts, missing components in Tiny11, or dual-boot side effects would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help!

Title: Radeon Crimson Driver Stabilization on Tiny11 (R9 380)
Summary:
This post documents the manual installation and long-term stabilization of the Radeon Crimson driver for the R9 380 GPU on a Tiny11 system. The goal was to bypass Adrenalin, prevent automatic driver replacement, and ensure persistent functionality without interference from Windows Update or background services.
Steps Taken:
• Installed Tiny11 on target hardware (Radeon R9 380)
• Manually deployed the Crimson driver (without Adrenalin suite)
• Disabled Windows Update () to block automatic driver changes
• Verified driver persistence over multiple hours of uptime
• Confirmed no reinstallation attempts from Windows or background processes
• Ensured the Crimson driver remains active and functional
Results:
• No crashes or GPU-related instability
• No Adrenalin or alternative driver reinstalls
• Crimson driver remains locked and operational
• System remains stable across reboots and idle periods
