That error is not the problem, check event viewer & the only time you see that error is after driver install.

So look for other errors in event viewer or windows reliability history monitor.

Look in Event Viewer > Custom Views > Device Manager (your card model).

Look at date & time for ID411, is there an entry for every time you have a crash/restart (probably not).

Well, first time i've seen that for same date. Looks like driver is trying to complete install/looping?..

Did you restart pc after first install of the driver, is Windows 'Fast Startup' disabled in power options.

Any windows updates waiting, or trying to update drivers, there might be info in windows reliability history monitor?

Could be you have corrupt driver, might be time for a clean install using https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-601 then install fresh driver pkg.

You might also want to try running SFC and/or DISM commands to find/fix corrupt OS files.

TDR problems, try suggestions from https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-800

Also i think the repeated 411error may be from 'amd crash defender' trying to, or recovering from tdr?
