Radeon crashing whole system

Got a laptop and when I google the model seems like a common issue where the only fix is not it install radeon and let windows update the GPU drivers automatically.

Problem is I then cannot use freesync and a host of other features and technology.

Anyone else had this issue and found a real fix?

Apparently this wasn't an issue until around December when I'm assuming a windows update rolled out to cause it or an update to Radeon.

If I install radeon it will crash constantly. Seems to do it more often when not gaming like in chrome and stuff. Completely locking up the system and fans go full blast and only a hard reset fixes it until it happens again. Sometimes get as many as 3-4 crashes in half an hour.

Completely uninstalling using DDU and then staying away from AMD website has worked so far. But just wondering if a proper fix is known.

It's an Asus TUF gaming laptop with both an AMD CPU with igpu and then a dedicated gpu as well.

So I have 2 GPU in the laptop it switches between.

I've tried all the usual changing power settings to max performance, etc. It's a well known issue all over Reddit.
 
What model/spec? We have a 2700U based laptop and it runs the latest few releases of the s/w (at least from Feb) without issue. Is the laptop BIOS/UEFI the latest? Did you try installing the chipset driver seperately?
 
I think in this situation some people try downloading the last known working graphic drivers, eg prior to December
