My windows often shuts down my GPU unexpectedly. This has been happening for a few weeks now. When I press Alt+Tab, the screen goes dark and audio stops. The mouse and keyboard stop responding too. It seems to work when I restart the PC after turning it off. After checking the device manager, I enabled the GPU but got an error saying Windows can't read the drivers. Turning it off and back on fixes the issue temporarily until it happens again. I've updated my drivers, but no other solutions seem to work. If possible, I'd prefer not to reinstall Windows.

Specs: Mobo: ASUS Prime X670E Pro Wi-Fi
CPU: Ryzen 7 7700X
GPU: Radeon RX 6700 XT xfx, SWF309
RAM: Kingston Fury RGB 2x16GB, 5600MHz
PSU: Corsair HX1200
Case: Hyte Y60
Storage: Samsung 980Pro 2TB & 500GB
Cooler: Aorus WaterForce X280 AIO
Operating System: Windows 11

Please assist me in resolving this.

Hello! Yes, I've tried DDU. Let me know if you need anything else.

I previously faced the same problem with my 6600XT. It resolved after an AMD driver update. Before that, I spent a lot of time tweaking every setting. Only changing the power profile to "Ultimate Performance" seemed to bring it more stable. Make sure you're also running the latest chipset driver.
