AMD Driver Crashing

The last couple months I have had an issue with the AMD driver crashing. Usually while playing a game, and the odd time with NetFlix, my game will freeze for a second or two and if I alt-tab out I will get a message about how the AMD driver crashed and recovered. This has happened with 12.3 and with 12.4. The message mentions "AMDKMDAP" is what crashes. Any ideas on what is causing this ? It isn't heat as my card is usually in the 60's or 70's for temps. There is no artifacting at all. This crash usually happens once every 30 minutes of play but with Alan Wake it is happening much more frequently.
 
I had issue with the 12.3's crashing too.. so i reverted to the 12.1's and haven't had issue since.. try reverting your driver to the 12.1's and see if that helps.

I will try that if need be. The fix above seems to work. I was able to play Alan Wake for 8 minutes without issue where before I could get maybe 2-3 minutes between crashes.
