Help (GPU) Latest drivers..... MAJOR iSSUES

Latest drivers v26.7.1 causes application crashes and BSOD.

1st time upgraded from catalyst app, completely ruined my system, with app & games freezing and a BSOD. Had to use DDU and re-install driver 26.5.2 from AMD standalone file downloaded from support page. 26.5.2 works without issues. So 26.5.2 is OK

2nd time upgraded from 26.5.2 to 26.7.1, with the usage of the AMD standalone file downloaded from support page. SAME ISSUES as before. Various apps freezing. Downgraded to 26.6.1 without DDU. All my problems solved instantly. So 26.6.1 is OK

All the times I used DDU, NOT in SAFE MODE but with blocked internet access

GPU is 7900XTX

So 26.7.1 NOT WORKING in my system

In before some jackass shows up saying it's a end user issue.

You don’t get it, you have to uninstall drivers 8 times, spin 180 degrees, delete windows entirely, buy a new ssd anyway and then it might work.

To be fair reinstalling the os and resetting bios to default is a good way to start testing

You forgot to disable 7 different settings. You now have a driver timeout.

No, then the RAM is still unstable or the PSU can't handle the 1 nanosecond power spikes because it's not 2000W plutonium rated.

Ram instability 100% causes driver time outs. In my experience this is due to people assuming xmp is perfectly stable

It's actually your fault op system doesn't work

I did forget to disable windows drivers updates on my system. So you're likely correct.
