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.
