> hard crashes occasionally

This sounds disturbingly unacceptable yet accepted

I custom built a machine last week for the first time in over a decade and from a fairly new processor and a just released video card. If I had more confidence in my PC building I guess I'd be more upset, but there are a lot of variables here and I'm still in a honeymoon phase.

I installed the official AMD RX580 drivers and it's been stable since.

Nothing out of the ordinary with a new platform. While Linux often takes longer to work this stuff out, Windows often has had similar issues in the past as well.

Not sure if intent but this is AMD issue.

Having experienced first hand AMD driver instability on both Windows & Linux, AMD have lost my custom for the next 10 years..

Multiple re-occurring driver crashes using their main graphics card product line(RX380) on Windows 10.. So, pretty mainstream and yet having driver crashing (even when doing non-intensive tasks e.g. web browsing)

For the record, I'm not so sure Nvidia is any more stable either. The only (constantly) stable graphics provider over the years has been Intel's on-board graphics.
