I'd set it back to stock settings and see how it goes. If no crashes after a few days then gradually lower the voltage, testing for a few days each time.

Card came today at about 2.40pm, is installed and working fine with the latest drivers. How long before the Starfield game code arrives anyone know?

There should be a barcode on your invoice, go to AMD Rewards site and enter the number underneath it, run the eligibility tool, then you'll need to link your steam account to redeem it on there.
The 7900xt comes with the premium edition including early access so you'll be able to download/play immediately. Might also want to swing by the Starfield thread (and the starfield modding thread!) in the gaming section for some advice on improving the graphics too
Windows update has done this to me several times.
My card came today too, around 2pm. I got an email from the retailer shortly after the DPD confirmation of delivery came through, may even have been automated. this wasn't OCUK but via a store on an auction site..

Enjoy mark, it'll be fun - just use a youtube video as refernce, and take your time
I build mine on top of the motherboard box first so I know it works before moving it to the pc case.
This is a great shout, I had a ton of Windows updates run in the morning before the whole display driver crash issue.
I'll see if it happens next time there's a bunch of Windows updates to do.
I used to love doing big upgrades, spent many an evening geeking out and setting up builds, didn’t build anything for years then my sons both asked for gaming machines over Covid so I built them one each them built myself a rig and got back into gaming again! I’m still waiting for the XTX to come down a bit more in price, I’ve got a 2080ti EVGA with a closed loop water cooler which has been faultless but can’t stop that upgrade itch
Yeah I originally was going to upgrade my current machine which was rocking a 2700X and a 2070. The cost of upgrading was going to be about £1200 as I also needed a case, so I decided to just sell mine to my brother and go for a brand new build. My previous build is coming up to 5 years old so it has certainly done me well. Can't wait to get building tonight.I used to love doing big upgrades, spent many an evening geeking out and setting up builds, didn’t build anything for years then my sons both asked for gaming machines over Covid so I built them one each them built myself a rig and got back into gaming again!

What did the complete build cost you in the end, if you don’t mind me asking?
Not at all, the complete build cost me £2,350.
This is what I got,
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus WIFI
Corsair Vengeance RGB EXPO 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C36 5600MHz

Seagate FireCuda 530 2TB SSD PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive
X2 WD Blue SN570 1TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive)
Lian Li Lancool III RGB
Corsair RM1000x Shift ATX 3.0 80 Plus Gold
Microsoft Windows 11 Home
Thermalight Peerless Assassin 120 SE
Wow that is one monster build!!! Enjoy building!

I'm in 2 mins on my Gigabyte card, purely due to the insane power draw when idle with 2 screens connected (Up from 5w with one screen to 105w with 2) if I got a USB C to HDMI/USB C Video/DP for the 2nd screen (1440p screen that is used for web, movies, streaming etc.. no games) in theory it should be pretty seamless shouldn't it?
No complaints on the 7990 XTX, it eats every game in 2K on Ultra, not missed a beat yet but my god it gets noisy!

Yep a usb to hdmi would get round the problem. You could under clock your card to get the fans down or alter the fan profile.I'm in 2 mins on my Gigabyte card, purely due to the insane power draw when idle with 2 screens connected (Up from 5w with one screen to 105w with 2) if I got a USB C to HDMI/USB C Video/DP for the 2nd screen (1440p screen that is used for web, movies, streaming etc.. no games) in theory it should be pretty seamless shouldn't it?

My 7900XT is nice and quiet now
I'll probably just do that then, the power drawn issue is absolutely ridiculous, how it hasn't been fixed yet is beyond me, but as long as I grab a USB C device capable of 2k @ 60fps should be all good and shouldn't hog system resources & cause any slowdowns really should it?

Knowing me i'd drown my card!
