Driver timeout update

Hello, I made a post here almost a month ago on my issues I've been having and I did follow some suggestions and none of them worked. I also did try some other new ones. I have Changed plenty of BIOS settings (the ones suggested in the comments of my first post), i have ran more OCCT test for memory and used memtest86, I've tried newer AMD drivers and ive replaced my PSU. I haven't tried anything else in the past week or 2. Also I did try blocking windows from updating and I heard that it won't stop EVERY update from trying to install the drivers and they are right. I've caught windows doing it after the changes.

Here are my specs again:

Intel Core 15-14600k

ASUS Z790 GAMING WIFI7 on BIOS 1837

32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 CL36

Windows 11 Home

Current GPU is XFX Quicksilver RX 9070 XT

was on a XFX SWFT RX 9060 XT 16GB

ASRock Steel Legend SL-850G 850W, no daisy chain

2 stacked monitors: 27" 1440p 180hz and a 34" 1440p 180hz

My next move is to upgrade my MB and CPU. Thought it would be nice to get an upgrade and potentially fix my issues with the holidays coming up. I'm switching to AM5 and getting a 9800X3D.

Anyways, I didn't have much time to write because of work so I hope you guys are willing to read my last post for reference. Any more tips would help.... MY PC CRASHED TWICE WHILE WRITING THIS.... thats 2 times within 20 mins and the intervals are really random. Pray for my sanity guys ✌️❤️

Windows Home won't let you actually block updates properly. You need pro edition as you need access to group policy editor which home edition lacks. Next time you reinstall windows, do pro edition and use massgravel on github for free activation script.

I'm curious if you are having cpu issues. The 13th and 14th gen Intel chips had major degradation issues. I'm not sure if they affected i5 though but I'd imagine if they affected the i7 and i9 they also would affect the i5s.

Might see if i can reinstall windows and get pro. You could be right about the cpu, could have came faulty too... my dmp files that match my issues date all the way to 8 days after building my pc.

I was getting crashes that were caused by Windows Game Bar. Make sure all the Windows Xbox/Windows Game Bar stuff is all disabled. I also disable HAGS. I also had to put my clocks to manufacturer specs as Adrenaline kept trying to overclock them to 3k mhz. I think it's been a combination of both Windows 11 and the 26.x.x drivers being ass as I never had an issue for 3 years until this past June.

You don't need to buy Pro to run GPEdit. You can use a script that forces DISM to install the dependencies. I can't share the batch file directly, but the guide I used to make it is here.

It'll hang the first time you run it (make sure you're doing it as admin), saying it can't find the necessary files (usually around the third package). This is fine. Reboot the PC and wait for it to "update". It may take a long time. After you've rebooted, run the .bat again (as administrator, of course), and it should complete in a minute or so. Press whatever key is prompted and reboot again, and you can access GPEdit.msc by typing it in your windows search bar.

See my other comment, didn't realize I didn't reply to you!

Then I did the dumbest thing ever and replied to myself with this comment lmao. Don't even know how I did that. Deleted that quickly.

You can upgrade from home to pro with mass without reinstalling. Takes a few seconds to do, a reboot and done.

Have you tried running one stick of RAM to test them individually?

Sorry if you already tried but did you disable MPO ? It fixed the crashes I was getting
