Driver causing black screen flashing

After installing 25.3.1, as I move my mouse around in Windows, the screen flashes black twice, seemingly turning on some different colour profile or something then turning it off again.  It does it very frequently and it's driving me crazy.
I reverted back to 24.12.1 and it's stopped it happening. 
I originally wanted to post that Death Stranding DC is crashing the graphics driver over and over in the same area.

..but I assume that I cannot get help for that if I am using an older driver.
This is getting really frustrating, especially when I am trying to work.
My specs are 7800X3D, RX7900XTX on a X670 Gaming X AX motherboard, up to date Win11 all pretty new SSD drives.

Luckily it works fine on my other PC that has an Nvidia card.  Sorry, but it just does.

I really was hoping for some kind of reply.  I guess that's it then.

I'm even getting this flashing black screen issue on the older driver (24.12.1) that I am forced to use, just much less frequently.

I can't even open Adrenaline now to check if there is another new update.  Nothing happens.  A colleague at work tells me that I am lucky that this has just started happening now, They have always struggled to get it to open.  WHAT??  How did things get so bad over here?  and why are no staff replying? Even with just a 'We are working on it' or something.
I'm reaching the end of my tether.

Have they fixed the black screen issues on 25.3.1? I haven't been able to succesfully stay on that version without the annoying black screens. Have been on 25.2.1 without any issues.

I tried 25.2.1 but had the same issue, 24.12.1 was where I found it to be most stable.

Are there specific features you need in the 25.3.1 release? If not, and your PC works normally with no screen flashes, I don't see a problem running the 24.12.1 release until there is a new driver release to try. I rarely upgrade my drivers unless there is a specific feature or bug fix for an issue I'm having.

I have been running on 25.2.1 without any issues.
Is there anything known by now that might be causing this? Are they even aware?

I'm not sure, but I know actual AMD staff are reading these forums even though they don't always reply.

I've just updated to 25.4.1 and so far so good.  Even Adrenaline has started actually opening again when I click it.
Sorry for getting frustrated, I just felt like no reply was kinda off since this is the official forum.
