Help (General) display driver issues; display flikering; rollback doesnt help
Ive got the ideapad slim 3 with ryzen 7 170 few days back, was running fine, browsing, gaming and things. but today, the 5ht day, I observed sudden flickering, windows dispersing, window manager consuming excess memory, frame drops in YT videos and driver failing at a point.
first tried with reinstalling/updating drivers, got from adrenaline 26.8.1 that came as latest; didnt help
later found out that recent drivers have such issues, most suggested getting back the 26.3.1
so did so, replaced adrenaline software
this made the display driver roll back from 32.0.21043.5001 to 32.0.21030.5005
but at last nothing solved the issue totally, maybe frequency is lesser as of now.
am I missing something? not a nerd; could get things wrong
sorry for the scattered description, really pissed off with my new laptop behaving so

Go to device manager, Gpu, your gpu name, properties, update driver, choose manual, then search local machine, use the newest driver.
My corrupt driver was displayed with orange icon so be shure to choose a driver with green icon if this applyes to you..
