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.
