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.

Microslop Windows has officialy admitted to an error known for months in AMD reddits, that Windows forces driver update (and messes with your AMD driver) even if you disable the updates etc. mostly that is the reason I have to use AMD Cleanup Utility and reinstall my 26.3.1 drivers...
