My system is a Asus G513QY with AMD 5980HX CPU and 6800m GPU running GPU drivers 22.11.2.
To start with, my temperatures are fine, running memtest has showed no RAM hardware problems. vbios is up to date from Asus.
After doing various testing with applications, watching temperatures, testing games, etc, I finally found what was causing my GPU drivers to crash so hard that my computer reboots. I found that if I have OBS Studio recording with hardware encoding (it happens with both H.264 and H.265), I will occasionally have my computer hard crash and reboot. So far this has only happened while I am playing Escape from Tarkov, but I play that game the most by far so that also skews things a bit. This only happens if OBS Studio is recording. I can play fine without any crashes if no recording is happening.
Below is a minidump from one of the crashes. The debug info says I am running windows 10, but I am actually running windows 11. Not sure why it is displaying that. At the bottom of the output you can see the lovely 0x9F_3_amdkmdag_IMAGE_pci.sys item that points to AMD.
