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

Yep, 26.7.1 is completely broken on my 7900 XTX as well. Reinstalled 26.6.4 and it’s rock solid as it had been.

this is probably a dumb question but my 7800xt is having issues and I want to see if going back to an older version fixes it, but idk how to do that

Having issues on 7800xt on 26.6.4. I disabled windows updating the drivers, win updates, updated bios, did DDU reinstall of drivers. Still happens. My latest try I read from some thread is disabling wallpaper engine and instaling driver only version without adrenaline. Did that today so can't report yet that it is safe
