I have a slightly older system that has been seeing me through fine for a number of years. Recently games have started to get a little slower so I decided to finally buy a new GPU. I picked up a Radeon RX 460 and it's been working great.... except it hasn't. I'm getting a noticeable increase in FPS and graphical settings but with the vast majority of my games I'm experiencing crashes. In CS:GO I simply get dropped to desktop for about 8 seconds, the game recovers and it alt-tabs me back in. In most other games however I experience a sudden crash (seemingly not related to a sudden load or anything that would further stress the card). Sometimes this can occur five or six times in an hour or only once in a few hours, but it's incredibly frustrating. I've checked temperatures and they seem to sit at roughly 45 degrees and there doesn't seem to be an issue there. I sent the first card I got back after talking to AMD and the second card I received has the same issues. I've tried uninstalling drivers with DDU and reinstalling the windows suggested drivers, then DDU and the most up to date drivers. I've tried both TdrDelay and TdrLevel and so far nothing seems to alleviate the problem.
For one game windows gave me the error: "Application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware", but otherwise I get no popup or other error message. I checked the windows event log and every time it occurs I get a message under system events saying "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
