So, this is my problem.
Everything was fine about a year or something ago.
I think it started happening around summer 2021.
I just can't open Radeon software on my PC.
I tried everything, reinstalling the Windows 10, switching to Win 11 even though my PC is not supported. Blocking driver update on Windows and then installing. Deleting the drivers using various programs, including the AMD one.
I must have reinstalled Windows 20 times by now, I just can't get it to work.
Drivers do install, but when I try opening the Catalyst, icon disappears and another one appears, like driver has crashed and restarted. After a while if I don't hover my mouse over tray icons for them to disappear, there can be like 5-6 Radeon icons.
Tried deleting the CN folder. Tested RAM using Memtest and Windows Ram test.
Any help is appreciated.
Mind you, this only happens on this one PC, I can get the drivers to work on others.
Also, when I open the CN folder, there is a log that has this lines:

My specs on this PC are a bit older though, but that should not be the issue.
