Hi guys. My dad's computer crashed and when I looked at the system info, it said WHEA hardware fatal error ID1. This started one day after we put Catalyst 22.11.2 on the machine. I wiped everything down and started Windows 11 again, even though the crash didn't happen often, the system kept telling me about that error all the time. After I reinstalled Windows and upgraded to the newest drivers for Catalyst, it never happened again. Can these kinds of errors be caused by driver problems? Thanks.

Yeah, a little bit of messy driving can cause this, but it could mean the parts inside are actually starting to break down. Try seeing if it happens again after about six months.
