### Issue Description (Required):

**Title: AMD driver timeouts and full PC freezes associated with Darktide**

I have noticed a recurring issue after playing Darktide and shutting down my PC. When I next turn the computer on, sometimes the following day, AMD displays a notification stating that a driver has timed out. I am unsure which driver is involved. My PC has both an AMD graphics card and an AMD CPU.

After the timeout notification, my entire computer may freeze and crash, usually while playing Darktide. This can happen approximately 10–15 minutes later, although the timing varies and sometimes no full crash occurs that day. The problem affects the whole computer, rather than just closing the game.

I have only observed this pattern following Darktide sessions. I have not played Darktide for approximately two weeks, and the issue has not returned during that time.

I cannot confirm that Darktide is the cause, but the repeated association is why I am reporting it. Please let me know which logs or additional system details would help investigate.79o0

### [PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Sorry to hear this @beenerbenis

There is a current known AMD driver issue affecting 7000-series GPU that results in driver timeout/GPU hang crashes.

Could this be why?
