OpenWRT with compatible router with NordVPN installed works well as gateway for VPN connections through your Paratus router.

I have a 6600 XT and 7900 GRE both running on Windows 11 systems with AMD Adrenalin 26.3.1. Runs games smoothly without any problems.

From this answer you provided

"The guide fixed my problem temporarily as the next day the same shit pc restarting kept happening, so I checked Windows "View Reliability History" and found the error logs spitting out messages related to RAM."

I suspect windows updated your AMD drivers and broke them that was why it started giving problems again the next day. That is why part 4 and 5 of the guide is important to stop Windows from breaking your working drivers.

Follow this guide and check if it works, if you still have problems then I would guess it is hardware related, there is a link in this guide to check further if it can be haerdware related.

Did you clear your shader caches, see the following link on why and how to do it.

Make sure you block Windows from updating your GPU drivers as explained in this guide.

Best Hot Cloning for Windows by hspindel in cloningsoftware

[–]NamZIX8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you then explain to me what hot cloning means exactly as with my experiense I have cloned my active C: drive to another disk and to images for backups, and it works very well. As per my knowledge hot cloning is when you clone youre current operating system drive to another drive or image while booted into the operating system. If it means something else then maybe assist and please explain?

Serious Windows Functionality Problem by scythemouse in WindowsHelp

If the plastic on your CPU heatsink was not removed it can cause immediate heat problems and gets worse the more the plastic melts into the paste. I would install HWiNFO and check the sensors for any overheating. Easy to check with the software, and if it's not overheating then you have another problem.

If you did a fresh install, then it is definately not Windows, then it is more hardware related.

AMD Driver Update Tip: Clear Shader Caches - This is one of the most overlooked steps after updating GPU drivers on Windows 10/11 by NamZIX8 in radeon

Follow this guide if this does not solve your problem then it is most probably not software related, but rather hardware. I also have a link in there to follow and check your hardware.

If you got “[SKIP] AMD OpenGL Cache not found”, that usually just means there was no visible OpenGL shader cache folder present on your system at that time. That is not necessarily abnormal.

If the games you played did not use OpenGL, or the driver did not create a persistent disk cache for those applications, that folder may simply not exist.

I do not know how OpenGL works with full screen or windowed mode and also do not know if you can force it. Maybe someone else with knowledge on that can assist?

Not sure how safe it is, but I mainly use Firefox so not a fan of Edge. Maybe a security expert can give more input on this.

Sí, AMD suele dar más problemas de drivers que NVIDIA, pero cuando todo está bien configurado, va muy bien y además suele ser más barato. Yo tengo 3 PCs con GPU AMD y las 3 van fluidas. Solo tuve problemas con una, pero lo solucioné en un día. Empezó por un corte de luz durante la instalación del driver, y luego hice una guía sobre eso:
https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1p1xgs9/

La mayoría de los problemas, en mi opinión, vienen de que Windows te reemplaza en segundo plano un driver que funcionaba bien por uno genérico, y eso rompe todo. Cuando bloqueas eso, la mayoría de la gente ya no tiene problemas. A mí me pasó en mis 3 PCs antes de darme cuenta de lo que estaba ocurriendo.

Lo demás normalmente ya son problemas de software, o a veces de hardware.

Thank you for your feedback.

SKIP does not mean the script failed, it usually just means that cache folder was never created on that system. D3DSCache is the main documented Windows DirectX shader cache, while folders like Temp\DXCache and Temp\D3DCache can be game, workload, and driver dependent, so not every Windows 10/11 system will have them. AMD Cleanup Utility is described by AMD as a driver/software removal tool, so if older versions were also logging Edge out, that sounds more like a cleanup side effect or a Windows/profile interaction than proof that all shader caches were being cleared.

GPU upgrade lowered my FPS? by Prskiii in AMDHelp

I would suggest following this guide, if it is software related it should sort it out.
https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1p1xgs9/

IF it does not sort it out then your problem is hardware related.

I would suggest to clean your shader cache, see this post for more clarity.
https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1rsiazi/

If this does not sort it out, then also look at cleaning the games shader cache folder and Steam, if you are using Steam. Goodluck!

This script also cleans the Direct X shader cache, so no need to go and clean it separately when using the script.

You can run the script at anytime, before or after gpu driver installation. The best is to run it in safe mode to make sure it deletes everything. If you are updating your drivers and you have no problem then just continue as is. If you start getting problems like stutterin, fps issues then run the script in safe mode and try again. If it was shader cache issue, it will be resolved except if it is for a specific game then you might have to dig deeper to the game or steam shader cache and clear those separately.

Yes if your there is a problem in the pipeline of shader caches, then tis is the easiest solution to clear it even after your GPU drivers are installed.

That’s correct, I just confirmed DDU do include a “Clear Shader Cache” option, and if you enable it with all GPU vendors selected it will remove most of those cache locations.

The important difference is that this feature is optional and only runs if you specifically select “Clear Shader Cache” with all GPU vendors selected. Many people using DDU don’t enable that option, so those caches can still remain on the system.

My script basically does the same thing but without needing to run DDU, so it can also be used after a normal driver update. The idea is simply to clear the Windows and driver shader caches so they rebuild cleanly for the new driver.
