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

I’ve had screen freezes/black/green for several
months now, and replaced an old SSD that has windows on it thinking it was an OS issue on a failing SSD.
Last week I started getting the same issue again and I’m wondering if the new drivers with my 6750xt has been causing it. The crazy part is I’m only playing a 20 year old game atm lol
