Question 7900XTX driver timeout issues

Hello,

I did a new build towards the end of last year with a Sapphire 7900 XTX Nitro+ . I'd thought it was stable but I'd only been in game for an hour or so at a time, but over the last few days I've been in longer sessions and have been getting consistent driver timeouts after a couple of hours of play. It does not appear to be due to load as they've occured while left sat in a menu while the game will run fine at or near 100% GPU load for extended periods. Temperatures are normal, high 60s/low 70s under load with hotspot in the mid 80s.

I attempted to test stability with the stress test in Adrenalin to figure out what's causing it, but that immediately throws up the same error before the test even begins.

Solutions attempted:
Uninstall and reinstall drivers, both manually and then again with DDU
Disable MPO
Disable hardware acceleration

Any advice on how to diagnose this would be appreciated. I'm at a bit of a loss because I can't nail down what's causing it, it just consistently happens after a few hours of gameplay.

CPU: 9800X3D
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D15
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X870-A
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 2x16 GB 6000Mhz CL30
SSD/HDD: WD Black SN850X 2TB
GPU: Saphire 7900XTX Nitro+
PSU: Corsair HX1000i
Chassis: Meshify 2XL
OS: Win 11
Monitor: LG C4 42" TV (games running on this), MSI VG27AG (second screen)

Bios version: 0227, 23/07/2024

All parts bar the second monitor purchased new between November 24 and present. Monitor is a good few years old but couldn't say exactly.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:

Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Cheers, I've added this to the post.

You're on the first release BIOS, flash to the latest version, clear the CMOS and then see if that helps.

Might be worth a read;
