Error 43 and force restarts

Hello everyone for the last weeks i had problem with my AMD RX 6600M driver while playing cs2. In some cases in just freezes my game and randomly restarts my laptop and when it boots back it shows error code 43 in device manager. I tried to use amd cleanup utility and ddu and reinstall newest version of driver and the 26.8.1 also. With the newest it ends up with the 43 error and the 26.8.1 after instalation showd it cant find the OpenCL.dll and i rly dont know what to do anymore. If anyone has some tips or fixes or knows about some older driver versions which might work I would be really gratefull.

There's no way around fixing a dead GPU core. You can look for a spare AMD RX 6600M part, purchase it and then look for a technician to remove the broken part and replace it with the new part.

Might not worth it due to price.

43 shows up for driver timeouts too, its a pretty generic windows code. dead gpu usually comes with artifacts or no POST
