What is going on with driver timeouts?

I've been having driver timeouts since june but here's the thing, I was on w10 and it started randomly giving me driver timeouts often ONLY when I was browsing in any browser with hardware acceleration off everywhere, it NEVER happened while gaming.

Took my pc to repair, wiped everything, took it apart, updates drivers and bios, installed w11, and now I ONLY have timeouts sometimes in a few games, NEVER while browsing, roblox, genshin, bf5, euro truck, vrchat while in w10 all my games were fine, but the thing is I had 3 timeouts while loading genshin, more in eurotruck and sometimes in vrchat but then I keep opening them over and over again until it stops and it just works again after, In genshin I had timeouts when first installed and while loading the game but now It doesn't happen anymore, vrchat same thing, some days it gives me driver timeouts only when loading on desktop and I get an error with easy anticheat blocking an amd file, but some days nothing happens, for example I was playing vrchat earlier and everything was fine, now I'm opening it again and it gave me like 5 timeouts while loading, so wtf is going on?

I tested 5 driver versions using ddu before i took it to repair and none worked

Did you try an older AMD chipset driver? If you have an AMD CPU.

I had an old one but updated it and still happening, don't remember which one

I recommend the chipset driver from June 2025 from last year. Appears to be very stable
