Constant driver timeouts while playing older games

Hello,

I'm an appreciator of older games and like to play them from time to time. I recently (as of december of last year) upgraded to Windows 11 and have been getting an infuriating error every time I try to play one of these games. The game usually runs for 10 minutes or less before I get locked into a loop of the driver timeout error popping up and everything freezing. I've had 0 issues of this kind with modern games, think from the last 5 years or so. But this has been ridiculous. I've tried just about everything I could find online, and decided to probe here for more answers. I'm just one woman, I don't know everything, and I just want to play my older stuff.

Games tried are:
- Gears of War (PC edition)
- Unreal Tournament 2004

- Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
- Team Fortress 2

- Garry's Mod

- several more from roughly those eras

 

PC SPECS:

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT

CPU: Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor, 3701 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

RAM: 32GB

PWR SUPPLY: RM650

MOTHERBOARD: MSI B550 Gen 3 AM4

 

Thanks for any help you can send my way.
