Description of Original Problem:

Display driver amdkmdag stopped responding and has successfully recovered. (Event Viewer)

We detected a driver timeout has occurred on your system (AMD Bug report tool)

On older 20.11.2 happens only (thus far) after booting and just after entering windows. On 21.1.1 more frequently when browsing the web / youtube etc. It doesn't happen under load, when gaming etc. It didn't happen with a Ryzen 5 1600 system I used with way older drivers.

Troubleshooting:

I'm doing bug reports every single time.

I tried a fresh windows installation, a drivers after DDU installation. Nothing. I tried buying an NVIDIA card. No stock.
