Crashes on 7900xtx

Hello anyone who may read this. I have been having a rough time lately with the last several driver versions. I am at the end of my wits trying to come to a solution that will allow me to just enjoy my card.

Here are my specs:

5800x3d 

x570 aorus pro wifi(newest bios 37f)

64gb 16x4 corsair 3600 cl18 

sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx

monitor 1 MSI MAG274QRF-QD monitor 1440 165hz

monitor 2 asus vg278 144hz monitor but I have it set at 60 because idle power problems  

I have tried reverting driver versions, ddu, fresh windows, uninstalling steam reinstalling, mpo, downclocking, undervolting, only using one kit of ram, disabling freesync turning off changing cables, reseating, running RAM checks, and probably some others that I have forgotten by now. The issue seems entirely driver related. I have no remotely dangerous temps. My cpu never gets above 75 gpu hotspot never gets above 75 main temp never above 65. I have no trouble with most games that I play (rocket league, Destiny 2, valorant, LoL, Overwatch, Forza horizon5) but the games that I want to play at the moment are BG3, CS2, and Jedi survivor. I have had completely nondeterministic crashes with all of these. Ranging from watchdog error to dx11 fatal error with many apphang errors as well. I have tried everything I can think of or find in cryptic posts to no improvement. I am mainly trying to play BG3 lately and have been having crashes very consistently. I have tried vulkan but it runs very poorly and still crashes. dx11 runs perfectly until it hangs. I in no way want to flame AMD for the drivers but I find it hard to remain tempered when my 1000$ gpu is causing me this many issues. If anyone has any other things to try or tips I would be more than happy to try them. If not, I will continue waiting for new drivers to hopefully patch these problems. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Watchdog errors are CPU related. Nothing to do with your gpu. 

Remove all overclocks, even XMP/EXPO profile and test again.

When gpu crashes, you will get a TDR (your monitor turns off for a second and game crashes).

If its just your application crashing its your cpu/ram.

You can use TestMem5 to test the ram for 2hours at a minimum

So, it did end up being RAM. I did memtest86 passes and both of my 2 32 gig kits pass by themselves. But, when I run all 4 sticks at cmp I get errors almost immediately. Is there a way I can fix this? My current solution is just to downclock them to 3200 manually. I also got them to work with some faster timings at 3200(16-18-18-18) instead of 3600 18-20-20-20. I tried using a dram calculator but it wouldn’t even boot on the timings it made so I just changed the first ones and used auto for the rest. Is it possible to get my xmp working on all or is it an issue with my mobo/cpu causing that not to work.

Update your bios to latest version and test again. You can add a bit of dram voltage if its still unstable, don't go past 1.4volts for safety.

Trying using just 32gb of ram and see if your stable with that.
