Last year I purchased an RX6700XT and upgraded my entire setup. When I connected everything together, crashes became frequent in games like CP2077, Elden Ring, and Red Dead Redemption 2. Each crash triggered a system alert stating that the application was blocked from accessing graphics hardware. I’ve searched for solutions but haven’t found a reliable fix. My attempts so far include adjusting TdrDelay and TdrDdiDelay, updating drivers, reinstalling XMP boost, changing PCIE settings to Gen 3, updating BIOS, running stress tests, ensuring proper cooling, checking the PCU pin test, and confirming my system stays stable at around 50-60°C during heavy use. I’m hoping someone can offer real advice or potential fixes instead of generic YouTube tutorials. Thanks ahead for your help.

Consider updating Windows completely because the issues you've faced might be linked to previous changes. Before proceeding, you can: - Reinstall your registry if backups exist - Perform a memory test with memtest86 - Clear CMOS settings - Replace DDU and update drivers from at least six months prior or a year ago (this is time-consuming but effective)

I haven't created any backups for the registry yet—I'm just aware that I ran memtest86 without issues. Unfortunately, I lost my drivers last week and had to reinstall older ones, which made things worse. I plan to reset the CMOS and see if that helps; if not, I'll reinstall Windows and hope it works. Thanks for all the helpful advice! Feel free to share more ideas if you have any.
