display driver stopped and recovered lumion 4

So, I'm wondering if the cause of going from a system that had an AMD card (the R9 280) and was stable for years and then the frequent crashing (after upgrading to the 580) is because AMD added the TDR key themselves with the newer cards. On my work PC which is running Windows 10 1803, there are no TDR keys at all. I had so many nights where I couldn't even play for 3 or 4 minutes without a crash. This means that a graphics driver crash means you'll need to fully reboot the PC, but I had no choice. Okay, the fix for me was to set (or add the key) TdrLevel to '0'. I'd set it, it would be fine as long as it remained then the O/S would change it back and it would crash. Also, either this key or another key (I'm not at home to see my notes) kept changing even DURING my gaming sessions. I had tried the TDR_Delay fix and that seemed better for a while but wasn't good enough. It took me a very long time to track down the specific problem by starting to take notes to any changes made by me, Windows Updates or driver updates. Now, I have a few posts on this forum about this and thought I had it figured out a couple times, thinking something else was causing it, but no. These crashes were just constant, no matter what I was doing. Then the Vega RX56 came on sale and I hoped that the 580 was defective and the Vega would fix the issue. I upgraded to an RX580 and started to get the amdkmdap error constantly.

In short, I had NO stability issues for almost 3 years with an Intel box and an R9280.

I need to post this in the forum, but I had this problem for almost a year (see here my terrible crashing for months fixed - RX 580 and Vega RX56 )and I was.
