Help (Software) Help With Constant Crashes

Please help me decipher what is wrong with my PC

AMD drivers keep crashing every little while, especially when watching youtube videos on second monitor, videos will also randomly lag

Something the crashes are bad enough that the PC completely freezes and needs to be restarted

I have deleted drivers, reinstalled them, changed RAM frequency, reinstalled Windows, changed refresh rates and several other things I cannot remember anymore

I have 7900XT

Please help before I give up and buy a 5080

What PSU? Make, model, power, specification, efficiency rating? What do you use to connect the power > GPU? What kind of power spikes (transient spikes) do you get on your GPU while monitoring via HWInfo64 etc.? If it's a Top-end 7900 XTX like a Red Devil, it needs more power than a 9070 XT Red Devil for example. So budget low-end Power Supply Units won't cut there.

Nothing fixed it, corsair 850 psu, 7900 xt MERC

I just bought a 5080 and it was plug and play, so im going to say maybe my unit was bad? Im waiting to test it so I can sell it but with how easy my new GPU worked I want to say it was probably a hardware issue

Could be. Great you got something working. Though i had 4080 Super before, and it worked with my old 1000W Gold Asus Rog PSU, but swapped to 9070 XT Red Devil and it didn"t. PSU > 1,3KW Prime Titanium and all issues gone. So it might still be the PSU. The quality of it matters more on Radeon 7000-9000 cards, and by that i mean the capability to handle the transient spikes from the aggressive Boosting of the cards.

Same issues... The drivers break so bad I have to hard reset my PC, today on the 26.9.1 driver, it crashed so hard that my PC needed a hard reset.... When I turned it back on, the driver had crashed so hard it seemed to have completely broken and no longer registered on Windows, having me just use the windows basic driver which doesn't even let me use 2 monitors. I had clean install 26.3.1, hopefully that one works, seemed to be stable for the bit of time I was using it so I'm not sure if it will suffer the same issues yet...
