I updated my AMD RX6600 to 22.11.1 day before yesterday, and from today morning I am facing random BSOD and freezing. Yesterday I played Unchartered 4 and Apex and both ran fine. I checked Memory with Memtest86 and no errors were found. I checked with Who Crashed and this are the results:

Crash Dump Analysis


Crash dumps are enabled on your computer. This system is not configured for complete or automatic crash dumps. For best results, configure your system to write out complete or automatic crash dumps. Select Tools->Crash Dump Configuration from the main menu to configure your system to write out complete memory dumps.

Crash dump directories:
C:\Windows
C:\Windows\Minidump

On Fri 18-11-2022 08:34:04 AM your computer crashed or a problem was reported
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidumps\111822-7390-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x3F71B0)
Bugcheck code: 0x3B (0xC0000005, 0xFFFFF8002ADE595C, 0xFFFFF50DEC298C50, 0x0)
Error: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.



On Fri 18-11-2022 08:24:47 AM your computer crashed or a problem was reported
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidumps\111822-8093-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x3F71B0)
Bugcheck code: 0x50 (0xFFFFAA0AACE00B2F, 0x2, 0xFFFFF8031A2CB84A, 0x2)
Error: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that invalid system memory has been referenced.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.



 

Conclusion


2 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. No offending third party drivers have been found. Connsider using WhoCrashed Professional which offers more detailed analysis using symbol resolution. Also configuring your system to produce a full memory dump may help you.

Have you considered rolling back the GPU driver?

After doing some extensive testing and rechecking everything I also think that it maybe the GPU driver as AMD Optional is just a signed beta game ready driver.

Rolled back to 22.8.1 Optional which was the original one and then again updated to 22.10.3 WHQL.

Looks like issue was with 22.11.1 Drivers and XMP memory as bios reset itself with every BSOD.

Yup, why I always stay away from the (optional) unless it has the fix for the issue I'm encountering.
