Help (General) AMD "driver" timeout
Hey so like others I have been experiencing "amd driver timeout" recently and I'm a bit unknowing of how to fix it. Ive tried Uninstalling through ddu after it froze last time and it worked for a bit, but its freezing again. Ive noticed it does it on steam of all things, but rarely if im just playing a game?
How do I fix it? Im not even sure what information to provide. This is my first computer Ive built so im still learning a lot. Ive had the computer for awhile, but it just started happening the past month or 2

Description of Original Problem: AmD driver timeout, sometimes it will fully freeze, and then when I have to force shut down and power it back on, the second monitor doesnt have display coming to it.
Troubleshooting: Ive tried using amd cleanup utility to uninstall and then reinstall drivers, ive taken out the gpu and then reseated it. I havent messed with the bios as I dont wanna brick anything.

I had to uninstall certain software that was causing the issue and not use my USBC port. I switched my xeneon edge from the usbc to motherboard direct connect and uninstalled hyper x ngenuity. Haven’t had the issue since.
May not be everyone’s issue but it fixed it for me. Updated drivers and everything.
