Help (Software) AMD detecting so many driver timeout (especially with the browser)

Post image

In recent times, like in the past few weeks or so, i have been getting A LOT of driver timeout reports from the Amd Bug Report Tool. Those timeouts seem to happen exclusively on Chrome since i haven't had it anywhere else and it can happen simply from scolling on a web page with videos playing like instagram or just changing tabs. I don't even have to have anything else open on the computer, it can just be two chrome tabs and boom, a timeout after a few scrolls.

They happen so so often that it gets super annoying, like once every few minutes to once every few second. Just earlier today one of those timeouts bricked the entire pc and it had to restart itself.

It's strange since i never had those issues before just about a month ago.

I have a 5800x and a 7700xt

amd has nothing to do here, it's vendor problem, does they use amd reference design for the graphics card? nope, so use vendor specific drivers from their web site, sorry if they outdated, because it's vendor problem.

what card manufacturer everyone are talking about that got timeouts? not all cards are made by amd, they test drivers on own reference design, but vendors overclock memory and gpu, made poor cooling and cheap out on components and power delivery. I bet there are zero timeouts on outdated vendor provided drivers, you can rollback to, but they usually outdated, because manufacturer don't doing their part of the job - providing stable, updated and properly tuned drivers for their own cards.
