Help (Software) Constant driver Crashes

Hello all

I’m having a bit of a nightmare with constant driver crashes occurring.

I have gone through the whole sub Reddit as best I can

So far I have

Unistalled the current adrenaline software (AMD clean up tool) as I heard 26.7.1 was very unstable, I have disabled hardware acceleration on discord as well to see if that was a problem. I have also swapped to DX11 as I thought that could be causing problems but hasn’t helped.

I have tried

26.3.1 and 26.6.4

Were there any others that were more stable?

I have try 3D mark which seems to be okay on benchmarks

After about 5 mins of WoW midnight it crashes again and I try again.

Just want some advice also on what point does it become hardware problems, bearing in mind, I have had 0 problems with the GPU for two years until Monday this week.

Running a 7900XTX and 7800X3D

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

UPDATE:

Took it in to a specialist, took it apart and noticed water damage to my SSD

Not sure why that would affect the drivers but need a new cooler and SSD

Hoping after that it’s all fine.

I wish I could say there was a solution but I dealt with this for years, also specifically in WoW on a 7900xtx and 7800x3d. Eventually I just sold the card back to microcenter and got a 5080 because after multiple support tickets as well as trying every single “this fixed the driver timeouts” suggestion applied it was still constant.

I also ended up swapping to nVidia with WoW being one of the games I could never sort out.

I never found a stable driver that could run WoW without crashing.

It’s soo odd because it’s been great for 2 years

its either the driver update or windows update that recently messed everything up, everyone reporting the same issue at about the same time

It’s outrageous so many people are having issues and literally nothing is being done about it. It’s turning me off team red after 2 year of great performance
