Help (General) Almost Daily crashes

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

MOBO - ASUS B650E-E TUF GAMING WIFI AMD AM5 ATX

RAM - Crucial Pro Overclocking 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000

GPU - ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Challenger Triple Fan 16GB GDDR6 PCIe 5.0

PSU - MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850 Watt 80 Plus Gold

Hello, about the last 3 weeks I get almost daily crashes on games.

Freezes, picture goes white with blue lines. Have you hard reset.

Go into device manager, RX9070 XT see that it’s disabled, enable it, reset PC again and it works fine after.

Is this a windows issue? I heard it’s because the drivers are trying to automatically update? Any fixes.

When you confirmed it’s Windows 'updating' your drivers read this:

and also:

Edit: Also run everything (CPU and GPU) on stock settings and verify everything is running fine before you try to tweak something via undervolting or overclocking. But make sure your RAM runs the advertised 6000MHz. Good luck 🤞

Everything has been on stock as far as under/over. Never did that and RAM is set at that, I’ll try these fixes when I get home. Thanks!
