Do a fresh windows install if swapping brands, I fund it clears any bugs right away without faffing about with uninstalling and clearing other drivers.

As above if you can't quickly fix the issue by far the quickest way is to reinstall windows. Before you do i would update the motherboard bios. This way you know you are up to date on everything and the windows is not the problem. Failing that i would say it's a hardware issue.

I’ve tried uninstalling Adrenalin, I’ve never had an Nvidea card in this system. It’s brand new. PSU is brand new too. It’s a 650. Would that be the cause? I just keep getting an Adrenalin crash report. All drivers are up to date. The event log just gives a load of numbers I don’t understand.
Is your bios up to date and chipset drivers. Was it working on a previous driver version or did it suddenly start happening. Did you get a windows update on the day your problems started. Your answers will make a difference to what you should do next. Are you using separate pcie cables from your power supply to your card.
What brand/model?

BIOS & chipset drivers all up to date. I can play call of duty, no problems, but dead by daylight, nope. Or any other game. I changed my monitor to and acer one, vg271u. I have red cables plugged into the board, cpu and gpu that are in tern plugged into the sockets of the psu.

MSI Tommahawk B550, psu is an msi 650 but think it’s bronze
Can you describe exactly what happens with the crash(es)?
What Radeon features do you have enabled/use in the driver?
Do you have any monitoring software used that you run alongside games?

It freezes, then I get kicked to the desktop and an AMD error report window pops up. I’m actually reinstalling windows fresh right now so I’ll see if it’s something to do with that.
My quick guess would be a borked/bloated windows install, a bottleneck somewhere in the system(hardware/bios releated) or transient power spikes(don't use PCIe 6/8xPin power splitters). All in all the details are vague and something smells off.
If you only want the drivers and nothing else then uninstall Adrenalin and when you reinstall select minimal/driver only installation. It's very simple and straight forward.

That sounds more likely to be driver config/software related than hardware related. Possibly a software conflict with a running app while you game, or something the game doesn't like about your settings.
You could try having a watch of this:

Was the card, got a 4070 now and works perfectly, thank you

@lessergrey You should be a bit more specific so that it may serve as a helping hand for future searches into similar issues. How did you come to the conclusion that it was GPU hardware fault?
