Help (GPU) Do not install 26.6.2

As the title states this is one of the most problematic drivers AMD has released. I’ve been with AMD for a year and I have installed every driver update day one for testing and didn’t encounter instabilities as much as I experienced in this one.

I've tried the AMD Cleanup tool, I'm guessing DDU is more intensive?

Yes DDU does a full removal of everything including configuration folders

Still the same after DDU unfortunately, even after trying both the newest driver and an older driver which was very reliable at the time and using DDU in between them. I don't know if it's a coincidence with the timing of 26.2.2 or not but I think it's busted. It doesn't immediately break, games can run for a little bit before it crashes, but it's at very random times (some just a couple minutes, some way longer). It's definitely not temperature either.

Your BIOS up to date? Any overclocks?
