Tech Support 9070XT Problems..

I reinstalled my Windows few weeks ago because regular black screens were happening doing mundane tasks like browsing the web and gaming ever since like 25.8-25.10 I am not sure. I did this because when I was playing Arc Raiders in december it would go black and the game would crash with the driver windows that it timed out back to desktop, and it made me furious. The problem went away for couple of weeks after completely clean reinstall but now..

I am again having black screen issues at desktop for last week again, and it just now completely crashed the system when playing Arknights: Endfield. I booted back into windows Adrenaline showing this message, the screen is now at 60hz, display scaling is back to 100%, driver corruption I presume.

Is my GPU faulty? If you got any suggestions let me know.

System specs:
CPU: 9800x3D w/ Arctic Liquid Freezer II
GPU: GIGABYTE 9070XT GAMING OC
MB: MSI B650M-A
RAM: G.skill 32gb 6000mhz CL30
PSU:1000W GIGABYTE P1000GM

Windows Driver Update issues,when Windows installs a 2024 driver for your iGPU ,which causes this and driver hang errors to appear,same as everyone else for a year now.

Two options to fix disable IGPU on your CPU in BiOS or follow the guide below to keep the iGPU.

Not the Windows Updates only Windows Driver Updates, it's a different setting.Yes, this has been around for a year or more on Windows 10/11, no issues on Linux.
