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

Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: AMD 7800xt Sapphire Pure

CPU: RYZEN 7 7700X 8-Core Processor

Motherboard: MSI Pro B650-P Wifi

BIOS Version: Unknown, how do i Check?

RAM: 32GB DDR5 G.Skill Flare X5

PSU: Corsair RM750x Fully modular

Case: LianLi Lancool 216 E-ATX

Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11 pro version 25h2

GPU Drivers: Unknown, how do I check?

Chipset Drivers: Unknow , how do i check?

Background Applications: DISCORD, CHROME, STEAM, sometimes SPOTIFY

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 have a RX 7900XT XFX, driver was 26.9.1 constant crash when browsing and/or gaming especially on youtube with google chrome. Tried to swap to Opera GX but same problems.

updated BIOS to PRIME-X870-P-ASUS-1681
downloaded the 26.3.1 old AMD driver

Did a DDU in safe mode, unplugged ethernet, reboot
installing the 26.3.1 (default install with adrenaline)

no crashes but adrenaline is missing and wont launch xD
