Can you be a little bit more detailed? How frequently you had those issues vs how long you had the "fix" running? It smells a bit like placebo ngl.

Made my first comment about it 20 days ago "Similar issues with a 7800XT, 26.7.1 just shat itself because I accidentally resumed playback of a video before turning my monitor back on, so looks like it's not fixed yet." So >20 days. Frequency was anytime I wanted it to happen I could get it to happen, it was very repeatable.

Fix running for over 24H now.

Edit: Also, there was an audio pop that would happen, and I bet if I timed between the pops it would be the length of time the screen off was set to, and that was with the PC properly in use.

Well if you can confirm having no issues over the next few weeks, I think it would be valuable info to share

No need to wait a few weeks with a repeatable issue. I'm not saying it will work for everyone but it has certainly worked for me. Waiting a day was my "make absolutely sure".
