Hi everyone,

I’m having a really strange and frustrating issue with my AMD GPU and I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s going on.

This problem started only on the 19th, and I had never experienced anything like this before.

Specs

• CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
• PSU: Corsair 1000W Platinum (ATX 3.1, 2025 model)
• RAM: 32GB Kingston DDR5
• SSD: Corsair Gen 5 NVMe
• Cooling: Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX AIO

My PC randomly crashes the AMD GPU driver in different scenarios:

• While gaming (Dawn of War Remaster)
• While watching YouTube
• Sometimes both at the same time (game + YouTube)

When the crash happens:

• The screen may go black briefly
• Windows stops detecting the GPU properly
• The system still outputs video
• I lose AMD drivers completely
• I have to use DDU and reinstall drivers to recover

• LiveKernelEvent A2000002 → amdfendr!AmdlogDrv::OsServices::ReportLiveKernelDump
• LiveKernelEvent A1000001 → amdfendr!AmdlogDrv::OsServices::ReportLiveKernelDump
• LiveKernelEvent 193 → dxgkrnl watchdog timeout

I tried :

• Clean driver reinstall using DDU (multiple times)
• Stable gameplay in heavy games (Helldivers 2, Stalker 2, etc.)
• GPU temps are fine (~63°C under load)
• Power usage ~300W max
• Idle usage ~31W

This NEVER happened before the 19th, and I believe it started after a recent AMD driver update
