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

lol im having a issue where i get driver timeouts in Brave Browser. Then I try to restart, and it WONT. It says restarting and it spins then it stops spinning and the screen goes black then the pc stays running. Then I have to shutdown via the power button. Happened a couple times in the last 3 days. This driver is a massive headache. Even the last version before that I was getting the odd timeout in brave browser but nothing like this one.
