5700xt driver timeout

Hey everyone, recently upgraded from a sapphire nitro + Vega 64 to a sapphire nitro+ 5700xt. Unrelated to this issue I ended up with some corrupted file on Windows booting to black screen. Wiped the drive and put a fresh copy of windows 11 back on. Initially had no issues playing halo infinite on the 5700xt. A few days ago I can go all the way into a game then I get a driver timeout error. Checked different Ram, PSU seems to be running strong, temps good. I ran a memory test that came back clean. I typically only play halo infinite but decided to download first descendant to see if it crashed on that game. No issues playing it and all temps are nice and stable no studders or anything. Could it be a corrupt copy of halo infinite or is anyone else having issues with the most recent driver from AMD? Any other ideas? I would be grateful for other ideas or potential fixes. I researched the other post that had a driver timeout and none of the provided solutions worked.

Have driver timeouts every couple of months. When they start they do not stop until I update the driver. Usually x264 videos trigger them.

Sometimes I have to clear shader cache (disable Smart access memory, enable Smart access memory).

If this does not help or there is no driver update, i reset the motherboards bios and then reconfigure it... and the timeouts stop for the next couple of months.

Did try also uninstalling the drivers with the uninstall utility etc, but the only thing that fixed it, was the procedure mentioned above.

 

My configuration is:

- powercolor red devil 5700 xt

- gigabyte aorous master x570

- amd Ryzen 7 3700x

- 32gb G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 DIMM CL16-16-16-36 Dual Kit

 

Have 2 monitors. One is at 165hz and the older dell is at 60hz
