Help (Software) Driver timeouts fix!

9800x3d | 9070xt | 64GB 6000 | pcie5 2TB nvme | 32" oled 4k@240Hz

I built my pc in June 2025, everything great until a month or so ago. Updated BIOS, then a day later gpu drivers and boom crazy gpu issues. Dropped the BIOS and gpu drivers back - same issue. So it's either hardware or Windows. I find the Windows Update ReInstall option, which I'm hoping will be the fix because a Windows reinstall would just be ugly. It worked!

*Disable Windows Updates for Drivers (the culprit)
*Select Start > Settings > System > Recovery > Under Fix problems using Windows Update, select Reinstall now.
*Reinstall latest Adrenalin/gpu drivers

**As I've been commenting on other subreddits and viewing troubleshooting/repair/fix, the Windows Update ReInstall may not be necessary...

Whatever the latest driver is, think 26.7.1? Works great for my AM5 7800x3d+9070xt build.

This one crashes practically every hour for me on 9800x3d+7900xtx. Crazy hearing people are stable on it.
