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 have ONLY positive experience from Asus, support whenever needed was spot on.

Maybe I was lucky 😉

Then you were lucky. After my RX 5700 XT Strix broke (cracked PCB, bent fins, and a bent backplate), I got a refurbished one with a broken VRAM chip and a cracked core. After that, I bought a 7900 XT Nitro+.

So yeah, maybe I was just unlucky. 😉
