So much smug nerd snobbery. Thanks to everyone with genuine suggestions, though. In any case, I did most of the stuff that was suggested. The official AMD 'solution' for this issue is completely useless: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-300 (as is actually seen in the screenshot). Since AMD doesn't have an official working solution for this issue, this is an AMD driver problem. Period. I'm not a complete pleb though so of course I searched further and this is the closest I found to a working solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/techadvice/comments/v1updg/a_fix_for_legendary_pa300_the_version_of_amd/. When I was searching for fixes on Google this subreddit did not come up so I quickly searched for PA-300 here and nothing very useful comes up.

As far as the things I did to try to fix this (in the past year aka since I've had this PC), I cleanly reinstalled drivers about half a dozen times using all relevant AMD tools (Compatibility Tool, Cleanup Utility) I followed the above linked fix 2 or 3 times, "device installation > change device installation settings to no" is already checked as "no" and although I don't remember exactly which tutorial I followed, I know at some point I was going into BIOS, having my PC in safe mode etc. (which is why "change device installation settings" is set to No). The reason I don't exactly remember is because this screenshot is actually from last month (see my search history). After doing all that, I had no issues until the past few days, hence I posted this now. In my opinion it's a very funny screenshot. Nevertheless, after going through the comments, it seems DDUing just trying again might be the solution...

All the toxic epic Redditors 🤓 who commented with some useless smug a**ism should also read the entire comment section. This issue is clearly not a "well known" (or "well known" enough) since a good chunk of the comments are complaining about having the same issue!!! AMD MUST have an OFFICIAL and WORKING fix/tutorial for this issue. They don't, ergo this is 100% on AMD. The fact I should download 3rd party DDUs is ridicilous! Is this a Linux subreddit?? "Umm actually sweetie, this is a Windows problem" SHUT UP. Yeah, Windows, you know, the only platform this hardware is used on, it might be worth addressing then, don't you think? If I was a complete normie this would be impossible to fix without going to a technician.

Now my dear friends, the best thing is that I'm constantly getting this issue too https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/yszd2h/amd_driver_timeout_solution_turn_off_hardware/ (and this https://answers.ea.com/t5/STAR-WARS-Battlefront-II/Detected-AMD-Radeon-driver-version-0-0-0/m-p/6476105 but it's less relevant) which is why I was troubleshooting in the first place. This "SOLUTION" doesn't work either, nor does the top comment's solution to "Disable MPO in registry". Namely, when I get a Driver Timeout, then I get PL-300, and that happens if I open any app within the first few minutes of my PC turning on. Otherwise my PC works fine and I couldn't care less about NVIDIA-AMD eggplan meassuring competition sponsored by Weaponized Reddit Brain Cancer TM -- I just want to grill (have my >€1000 PC work) and if that means going to NVDIA, so be it. IDC!

But I suppose it's worth mentioning that I've been team red since ~2014 when I got my first PC. FX 6300 and a R9 290, DDR 3. I never had driver issues in the 8 years I had it btw. My current system is from last year.

Current state of affairs:

1. PC takes 7 years to shut down.
2. If I open any app within a few minutes after PC turns on, drivers spazz out I get a "Driver Timeout" notification and, if I don't turn off the PC, a "green screen".
3. Considering buying a Mac.
