BSOD amdkmdag.sys

So tonight I got a BSOD which is apparently caused by amdkmdag.sys

This is the information in the dump file:

On Tue 2/23/2021 8:09:50 PM your computer crashed or a problem was reported

I found a lot of people having this similar problems but no success in finding a real fix, if there is one. Everything on my system is updated, I ran DDU before installing the Radon driver, so is this common or is this a random error?

what were you doing? is this the only time? what driver version are you on?

I was in Windows 10 just surfing the web, so far it's the only time and Im using the latest set 21.2.3

worth checking for updated firmware for the new card....try slightly underclocking and or manual settings in radeon settings? its been extremly rare i ever got full bsods from video card driver unless i was trying unstable settings like undervolting....might try upping gpu voltage and what not....not that it should be necesary but it happens

Thanks for the response, I did a complete uninstall of the drivers and ran DDU again in safe mode, so far its been fine so I'm going with this is maybe just a random incident rather then a major problem. The card has performed very well in games and that is the most important, if it pisses Windows 10 off now and then I wont be too concerned.
