Wattmann crash on Division 2 with new reference RX 7900 XT

Previously I was using a RX 6700 XT reference - rock solid - running on windows 10 64 bit along with a 5600x and 2x16 gb G.skill Trident Z and 750W Enermax gold PSU. Monitor is a LG UltraGear 34GN.

I don't overclock or tune in any regards - all is standard out of the box.

So now I got a brand new shiny RX 7900 XT reference card. I uninstalled the previous drivers and installed the newest drivers

22.12.1 for Radeon RX 7900 Series

So I actually went for the game I've been playing the most for the past year on my RX 6700 XT, without any issues - The Division 2.

However when starting up the game, it constantly crashes and turns of my PC - when starting up again, it comes up with message about "Default radeon WattMan settings have been restored".

I have never encountered this issue before as in never.

Running Far Cry 6 on Ultra settings do not cause this behavior.

However, for some reason Division 2 seems to be very GPU heavy, as it on the former 6700 XT was also causing quite a high load of the fans on the 6700 XT, when comparing to Far cry 6 so perhaps some instability due to load, but I was wondering if anyone else have experience with this types of issues - and only sees it in some circumstances.

I have the same issue with my RX7900XT in New World and the elder scroll online games, but when i run solo games  like the Witcher 3 next gen or Elden ring in ultra i have no problem even if the card get more warm. It seems that the card is not able to manage overload caused by MMO games as the problem is still present even in low resolution on my side.
