I was in the middle of a Roblox game with friends when my screen suddenly went black. After that, I crashed back to the desktop. I received a message saying, "an AMD driver timeout has occurred." My PC became super laggy, and when I checked the Task Manager, there were strange black rectangles appearing. I tried shutting down and rebooting, but the same issues returned. I attempted the GPU restart shortcut, but it led to a black screen that stated, "your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart," along with an error message like "ERROR_DRIVER_TIMEOUT." This was different from the usual blue screen error. I'm really at a loss here—what should I do?

It sounds like you're dealing with some serious driver issues. My suggestion would be to check for the latest drivers for your graphics card and reinstall them. But, if your PC is lagging too much to do that, it might be a bigger problem. Worst case, if your GPU was overclocked, it could have overheated and gotten fried. Make sure it's cooled properly if you can get it working again!
That’s tough, I can’t even install drivers because my PC is so slow too! What do you suggest doing if it’s that unresponsive?
