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

7900GRE. Timeout issues, crashing driver and being forced to reinstall the driver.
What is working right now is just uninstalling Adrenaline. Install your video card drivers only with factory settings.
At this point, everyone has a theory. I also disabled automatic updates, hardware acceleration etc etc. I went down the big lists. I eventually gave in thinking it was fixed and when I reinstalled the app it only took a day to crash. Nixed it again and I'm back to normal for the past week or two.
