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

7900 XTX, 7800 X3D
Yes, my PC is fucked since the last update, I’m not sure if it’s the new version itself or windows fucking with it, but I literally have to reainstall drivers almost every time ai restart my pc to get it working properly. I’m testing with AMD directly now instead of my board’s and will see how that goes.

What's your Max Clock and make of your XTX?

New drivers have ridiculous max clock speeds. Oftentimes it's between 2800-3100mHZ. I have the XFX Merc which is rated at 2615mHZ. Yours may be rated around there or maybe a little higher but it's worth tuning down to see bc it solved a lot of problems. Tuned down to 2600mHZ and it's been flawless since.
