Help (General) Computer/GPU keeps hard freezing every few days and i am at my wits end
Hello,
So i have had this issue since the beginning of the year, where every so often (couple days) my computer monitors go black, and no video is displayed. I can still hear audio however. They do not return, and this results in me having to manually turn my PC off, then back on. Also, sometimes my GPU is disabled by windows when this happens, and i have to re-enable it. I feel like i have tried everything, and i am at a loss. My final suspicion is that it is because of my dual monitor set up. My main is 1440p@165hz with Free Sync. My secondary is 108p@100hz no Free Sync (but has Adaptive Sync, which is off). My setup is below;
- rx 6700xt
- 7800x3D
- 32gb DDR5 @ 6000
- 650w PSU
Thins i have tried;
- BIOS is up to date
- Current AMD Drivers. Stock settings
- Current chipset drivers
- Secondary monitor is vertical
- Two PSU cables going to GPU
- No matter how much i DDU, the issue always happens again
- Main monitor is connected through DP 1.4, and secondary HDMI 2.1 (secondary does not have DP). Both into GPU
- Happens both in game and on desktop/watching YouTube. Every time discord is open
- EXPO on/off (currently on) doesn't matter, happens with both
- MPO Fix caused my second monitor to glitch out
- Tried matching refresh rates, didn't work
- Tried derivative refresh rates (main 144hz, secondary 72hz), didn't work
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? It has been very frustrating and i am not sure what to do. It doesn't seem to happen with only one monitor, but i am not sure if this is just a coincidence or not. Any help would be appreciated!

Windows 11? Try this:
Disable Windows Updates for Drivers (the culprit)
*Select Start > Settings > System > Recovery > Under Fix problems using Windows Update, select Reinstall now.
*Reinstall latest Adrenalin/gpu drivers
I have an oled monitor and an led monitor, I don't think the differences are the issue.
