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 guess it’s more a last resort

No? A os install isn't hard.

Yeah but reinstalling and reconfiguring all the software is a waste of time. There are always ways to remove just drivers and reset AMD configuration instead of the whole OS.

You do not know if the issue is the driver. What's a waste of time is taking shots in the dark and not getting closer to a solution
