Display driver amdkmdag stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

Thanks for this fix suggestion. Going to test it out for a week and post again with the results.

It's interesting that both your 2 gpu's and my 2 gpu's were all RX...though the OP said he tried nvidia gpu's as well and still had the problem.

I am having the same issues with both my RX5700XT and RX580. ANY games would crash within minutes, sometimes up to 30 minutes if it was a low-end game. I have also changed registry, bought a new GPU, PSU, uninstalled/reinstalled windows, full-wiped drives and installed windows, and more. What did help me was uninstalling the AMD High Definition Audio Device. I think it uses the monitor speakers, or at least sends the audio over to the monitor. So as long as you have speakers/headset plugged into the motherboard or soundcard, uninstalling the AMD Audio driver should not affect your sound.

To uninstall, go to Device Manager --> Sound, video and game controllers. The AMD HD Audio Device will reinstall when you update windows or amd drivers. 

I do still sometimes get crashes, usually when first setting up a game, or changing settings sometimes. Sometimes when opening another program, like if I was playing without Chrome open and then opening Chrome, it will crash but only sometimes. The crashes have been reduced significantly though, if went from not even being able to leave the title screen without a crash for newer AAA titles to hours of crash free gameplay. I have played AC: Valhalla with chrome and discord open for a 7 hour session and did not experience a crash. I do crash a lot in BO Cold War, but I think that might be a Cold War issue since it is not affecting other games for me.

I have had this same problem for 2 years. It's unbelievably frustrating.

I have tried everything imaginable. I'll try to list everything, none of which has worked.

Extensive TDR changes, hard reset of windows x3, new graphics card, new psu, new ram, new motherboard, stress testing for cpu, ram, and gpu, old gpu drivers, newest gpu drivers, building the pc outside the case, underclocking gpu, different slot for gpu, high performance power settings in windows.

A lot of people who have this problem may only see it in one game and try to look for help specific to that game. I have had this crash through 15+ different games. It is not game specific, though the intensity of the game will affect the frequency of the crash (never made it through a full game of warzone, but most other games it's managable but frustrating)

Edit: Changing my refresh rate from 144Hz to 120Hz fixed the issue. I don't know why, but I'm happy :)

Hi Gregg, just want to let you know I have a 5600 XT and have been having the same problem. I see LiveKernelEvent 117 and 141, then LiveKernelEvent 144 in logs for the reboot after the crash. I tried DDU, and even reinstalled Windows a few days ago, but the issue persists.

Built the system in May, and had a crash here and there, but the crashes went from less than one a week to daily around the end of September or beginning of October. This coincided with a Windows, AMD, and GPU VBIOS update (via MSI Dragon Center).

These updates caused image artefacts, followed by a crash to desktop. Usually a full system crash happended shortly after, or I had to force a reset since the system was frozen. Flashing the 2020-03-09 VBIOS on this page seems to stop the image flickering/corruption but I still get occasional crash.

My system also reports unexpected shutdown almost everyday despite the fact I shutdown using the Start menu as you should...

What's interesting is that they seem to almost exclusively happen in PUBG and Borderlands 3. I don't think I've had a single crash in the Witcher 3 or Stardew Valley.
