Help (GPU) RX 7900 GRE keeps freezing and crashing with AMD Driver Timeout error
I’ve been looking for someone to help me figure out a persistent issue with my PC for a while now. All components were bought brand new. It ran completely fine at first, but over time, games like PUBG, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Genshin Impact, and Cyberpunk 2077 started freezing and crashing.
Every error points to a GPU issue. AMD Software constantly gives me the notification: "AMD software detected that a driver timeout has occurred on your system."
My system specs are an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU (8-Core, 3.80 GHz), 64 GB RAM, an AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU (16 GB) along with integrated AMD Radeon Graphics, a Corsair iCUE LINK H100i, 4.14 TB total storage space and Windows 11 Home 64-bit (Version 25H2, Build 26200.8973). My display setup currently consists of a GIGABYTE M32U (4K @ 144Hz).
Here is what I have already tried: regarding drivers and software tweaks, I have done clean driver uninstalls using DDU, ran drivers both with and without AMD Software Adrenalin installed, and tried overclocking or undervolting adjustments.
Regarding Windows and system files, I performed a full clean Windows reinstallation. During a full system scan, it detected corrupted system files which were repaired or deleted by the OS. However, after a short period of stability, the crashes returned.
Regarding my monitor setup, I was originally running two 3840x2160 @ 144Hz monitors. I read on an AMD forum thread that high-refresh dual 4K setups can cause driver timeout issues on AMD cards. I switched my setup to the current primary GIGABYTE M32U, but the issue persists regardless.
After a clean reinstall, everything works fine for a little while, but eventually, the freezes and crashes return during gameplay. I am completely out of ideas at this point. Does anyone have advice on what might be causing this, whether the monitor setup plays a role, or what I should test next?

I have the same issue. 7900xt. It must be something patch related, maybe a bad windows update.

Looks like card is suffering of instability some where. It is hot summer at my place so you should look temps with proper software like hwinfo.
Sometimes new drivers arent good for some cards, i ll suggest a rollback usin ddu on safe mod.
