AMD detected driver timeout

Hi, I have a problem with my brand new computer that I received couple of days ago. When I'm listening to youtube or playing games randomly my screen turns black and application crashes, then I'm receiving an information like "AMD detected driver timeout". I have the latest drivers. Is there any fix to it? It's so annoying.

My specs

XFX Radeon RX 6600 Speedster SWFT 210 Core Gaming 8GB GDDR6 (XFX RX-66XL8LFDQ)

RAM: Patriot Viper 4, DDR4, 16 GB, 3200MHz, CL16 (PV416G320C6K)

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H

AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 3.6GHz, 32 MB, MPK (100-100000031MPK)

SSD ADATA XPG SX6000 Pro 512 GB M.2 2280 PCI-E x4 Gen3 NVMe (ASX6000PNP-512GT-C)

Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 850W (MPE-8501-AFAAG-EU)

Welcome to the AMD Crash Club. One problem is that when reinstalling the Radeon driver after DDD over the network, the AMD-Microsoft driver can intervene automatically via the device installation setting and Windows Update. Therefore deactivate everything. You can also disable the two AMD services using msconfig. The Adrenalin software is too confusing, the Radeon driver probably controls the graphics settings of the card variably. Therefore the crash occurs again after occasionally stable games; only changing parameters or a clean reinstallation helps. After a crash with restart, Radeon restores the default setting, but varies the core voltage. The problems with video sequences in the network and when playing with the Radeon driver are also known. It is also important to update all drivers via Windows Update or the AMD (chipset) software.

I kinda understand what you said but I'm not that "into" these kind of things, I'm here just because i have a problem like that and it's really annoying for me, but I think i won't be able to do it without any tutorial how to

Hey, I'm just having this issue too, I know it's been 2 years since this post has been started but hopefully you come back to me.

How did you fix your issue and what did you do?

Is it possible Windows has overwritten your drivers? It used to happen to me so much that I disabled Windows Updating drivers, and haven't had issues since.

If Windows did overwrite your drivers you will need to use DDU or AMD Cleanup Utility to remove the bad drivers and reinstall the correct ones directly from AMD.
