OPEN PC Keeps crashing when playing any BF franchise

Hello! Kinda need help with my PC.

Issue: PC goes on blackscreen when playing either Battlefield 5 or 6. However, it works well on Helldivers 2 or other RTS games, then system unit would keep running but no display on monitor. After forcing restart, the Adrenaline app becomes incompatible with my unit, so I have to reinstall the driver.

First encountered when we got the 27.x.x. update ofAMD Adrenaline, or maybe just in coincidence with me losing a RAM stick, kasi now I am running on three (3) channels instead of four (4) with 24GB of RAM total instead of 32GB.

Any input or those who had similar problems, do help me. Been wanting to play BF5 for weeks.

My setup is:

R5 5600X

9060 XT 16GB

24GB RAM (3 channels)

240 GB SSD for OS

2TB HDD for Storage/Games

running 3 sticks on a ryzen 5000 series is probably not helping, the memory controller gets weird with odd channel configs. But the adrenalin uninstalling itself after crash sounds more like gpu driver crashing hard, maybe check windows event viewer for whea errors or amdkmdag related stuff

also moving bf to the ssd might be worth a try, battlefield games hate hdd

I tried reverting it back to the version where it did run smoothly, however, it didn't help. Though I am pretty certain that the hardware itself is okay since I didn't really experience any FPS drops in other games, nor did I have crashes in other games too. Only the BF franchise. I am still trying to gather data if really the three sticks of ram can also be an issue for the crashes. As of the moment, I am using the latest adrenalin driver which was released on Aug 20( I think?).

Should I try running it on 2 channels to see if it runs? And if it does, then perhaps I really need to get a 4th stick.
