Computer crashing in the latest AMD GPU driver 25.3.2 / BSOD amdkmdag.sys

I have been using the 25.3.2 driver for two days and my system completely crashed over four times so far. Plus I am also experiencing weird glitches when browsing on Chrome if at the same time my GPU is under load by a background process (a game for example).

Here is my crashdump and computer specs.

 

Windows version: Windows 11, 10.0, version 2009, build: 26100 (x64)
Windows dir: C:\WINDOWS
Hardware: B550M DS3H, Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
CPU: AuthenticAMD AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor 8664, level: 25
Processor count:12 logical processors, active mask: 4095
RAM: 32668.2MB

 

Crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\040725-5328-01.dmp (Minidump)
Bugcheck code: 0x50(0xFFFF909EDFE3CF00, 0x2, 0xFFFFF80568B2B1DB, 0x2)
Bugcheck name:PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Driver or module in which error occurred: amdkmdag.sys (amdkmdag+174b1db)
File path:amdkmdag.sys
Description: ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver
Product: ATI Radeon Family
Company: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
Bug check description:This indicates that invalid system memory has been referenced. This can be caused by a faulty driver. Antivirus software can also trigger this error, as can a corrupted NTFS volume. It can also be caused by faulty hardware, (in particular faulty or overheated RAM or video RAM) or an overheated system component.
Analysis:This is likely a software problem which means that it was probably caused by a bug in a driver.
There is a possibility that this is caused by memory corruption. Memory corruption can be caused by a faulty driver, faulty RAM, overheating and more. Read this article on memory corruption. Read this article on thermal issues
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error.
It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver:
amdkmdag.sys (ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.).

What could be done to prevent this?

You're likely experiencing system instability due to bugs in the AMD GPU driver version 25.3.2. Here's what you can do to fix or prevent this:

 

Roll back the driver to a previous stable version (e.g., 24.x.x) via Device Manager or AMD’s website.

Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode to cleanly remove the current driver before reinstalling an older one.

Check for overheating – monitor GPU/CPU temps and ensure proper cooling.

Run a memory test using Windows Memory Diagnostic or MemTest86 to rule out RAM issues.

Disable hardware acceleration in Chrome to avoid glitches during GPU load.

Report the issue to AMD via their bug report tool for future driver fixes.
