Hi guys.
My father in law's PC had a crash and when I check the system management, it said WHEA hardware fatal error ID1, and this happened 1 day after I installed Catalyst 22.11.2.
I've reinstalled Windows 11 again, because even without crashing it was reporting the same error all the time.
After reinstalling Windows and installing the latest Catalyst drivers, it never happened again.
Can these kinds of errors be caused by drivers?
Regards.

Yes, sometimes chaotic drivers can be the cause, but it could also mean the hardware is genuinely starting to fail. Check if this happens again in a few months.
