Hello everyone, I'm facing a significant problem with my PC and the RX 9070 XT. Here are the details: GPU – Acer Radeon RX 9070 XT Predator BiFrost OC, 16GB RAM, 9700X CPU, Ryzen 7 9700X, MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi PSU, Thermalright TG 750W (80+ Gold). I've noticed random crashes in games like FC 26, Rocket League, Cyberpunk, and even Chrome tabs. The screen goes black while the GPU stays on, fans spin nonstop, and display output only appears after a hard reboot. In Spider-Man 2, the game crashed but Windows remained functional at times, sometimes showing an AMD TDR error. I've tried flashing the GPU firmware, but Acer's tool says it can't flash the VBIOS. Drivers have helped temporarily for a few hours, but crashes return. I've done some troubleshooting: reinstalled drivers (both AMD and Acer), updated BIOS, reseated the GPU, swapped display cables/ports, checked voltages (12V rail drops to ~11.9V under load), and disabled adaptive sync. Adjusted refresh rates. My suspicion is it could be power-related—my PSU uses daisy‑chained PCIe cables, which might cause instability. Any advice on whether this points more toward a power issue or driver problems would be really helpful.

The major December update for Windows 11 resolves AMD GPU crashes, and several other Windows versions have also received updates.

You're testing that driver because it resolves recent HDMI 2.1 problems that led to crashes. It might be worth checking out version 25.12.1. Your setup is quite similar to mine, and the newest version has performed reliably over the last few days. Earlier versions like 25.10.x and 25.11.x caused some issues, but this latest one has been stable.
