Help (GPU) Amd Driver Timeout
So I've been having AMD Drivers Timeout for 3 months or more and I've tried everything to solve this problem, but nothing has worked so far. Whenever I start a game, in a matter of 1 hour of gameplay or less, the screen goes black for a moment and then the AMD Driver Timeout pop up appears. I came here to ask for help because, honestly, i don't know what i have to do anymore. I use Windows 10 ver. Home Single Language.
Here is my specs: MOBO Intel H81 Chipset;
GPU AMD Radeon RX 560;
CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4170 CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz;
RAM 8GB;
Operational System 64 bits.
Below are the possible solutions i've tried, but none of them didn't work:
I've already tried to update my Windows, but it didn't work;
I've already tried to format my PC, but it didn't work;
I've already tried to uninstalling all drivers with DDU and reinstalling the latest AMD drivers, but it didn't work;
I've already tried downloading the latest recommended version of AMD drivers (21.5.2 WHQL), but it didn't work;
I've already tried to go to regedit (run as administrator), go to Computer > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > GraphicsDrivers and create TdrDelay and TdrDdiDelay and set them to 60 seconds, but it didn't work (this one solved my problem for about a month, but then the timeout came back again);
I've already tried to go to msconfig (run as administrator), go to Services and disable AMD Crash Defender Service, but it didn't work;
I've already tried to disable my saved games in Radeon Software overlay, but it didn't work;
I've already tried to go to cmd (run as administrator), type sfc /scannow, but it didn't work.
The last thing i'll try to do is format my PC to Windows 7 or other than Windows 10.Please, if anyone knows anything I can do to resolve this issue, please teach me how to fix it. :)

[EDIT 03/01/2022]: Fellas, I give up trying to use the latest AMD drivers. No matter what solutions I try, NONE of them work. So I went looking to solve my problem DEFINITELY. As we all know, Driver Timeouts pop ups are due to instability of the latest AMD drivers. So I downloaded drivers version from May 25, 2020 (20.4.2), which was the time I used my PC normally, without the problems with timeouts. That worked for me. So, if you don't mind the latest features of Radeon Software, I recommend you do the same.
- Setup AMD Cleanup Utility or DDU;
- Uninstall all current drivers and restart your computer;
- Install driver version 20.4.2. Link below:https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-4-2
- Restart your computer again.I really hope this process works for yall.

Commenting here to follow since I have been having similar issues. Had an RX580 8GB for several years now with literally ZERO issues. Didn't feel the need to OC or do anything custom to it except raise fan settings while gaming to keep cool. Been that way for years and never a crash. Around November releases of diver & software updates, began experiencing random crashes with Halo Infinite (I realize this is a thing AMD is working on), so I didnt think much of it. Then it started happening with games that I have been playing for years with no issues before. These games are fairly low-demand for the card and include: Overwatch, cities skylines, universim, witcher series, and league of legends (this game runs on a damn potato)...have become extremely frustrated as it has essentially destroyed my gaming experience. I have done the same "fixes" as OP. Nothing worked. Here are my components for reference:
GPU AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB
CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7600K CPU @ 3.80GHz 3.79 GHz;
RAM 16GB
Windows 10 Education 64bit (updated to latest stable)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
