I am experiencing frequent random game crashes since I swapped my vega64 for a 6900 xt. Recently I swapped my 6900 xt for a 7900 xtx. The issue got worse now. Cyberpunk is an instant crash now. The witcher 3 always after a few minutes of play. Most other games after hours or several minutes.
When some games crash I receive a message on screen generated by the adrenalin driver to sent a report of what went wrong. In Cyberpunk I receive the message "something went wrong choomba". But no matter what message I receive, when I go back into the adrenalin driver the bell icon warns me something went wrong recently and several options were restored (like auto undervolting) to normal.
What did I do to mitigate the issue:
Got rid of the daisy chain 8 pin PSU connector and replaced it with two 8 pin psu cable connectors.
Reset the drivers to factory settings.
Did a clean install of the driver after using the AMD clean up utility. Reinstalled with a minimal driver installation.
Swapped out the corsair SF750 with a v850 PSU.
I don't really know what is causing the crashes. As I initially had only a 750w PSU while 850w was advised, I decided to take care of that first. But that didn't make a difference. With the 6900 xt the crashes were infrequent enough to be bearable, but now it is just too much.
Is something wrong with the system I posted above? Are there still things I can do to mitigate the issue? Or just wait for new drivers to arrive? If you need extra information, just ask.

Solved! Go to Solution.
I would recommend to test a fresh windows installation booted from a usb stick or external HDD just to be sure there's nothing conflicting, some other drivers etc.
Also recommended to test ram with memtest86.

I realized with your suggestion, I am running windows 11, which was upgraded from windows 10. I remember hardware unboxed and other channels advising a clean install to do the upgrade. This didn't happen. As I only play videogames on my pc and all saves are in the cloud, I will now take the time and proceed with a clean install. I will report back if this alleviated the crashes. If not, I will test the RAM.
Good luck!
A clean win 11 alleviated the issue.
