CS2 crashing/freezing on AMD gpu (RX 7700 XT)

Troubleshooting

Hi guys,

Maybe someone will be able to help me out, I am slowly running out of ideas.

Ever since I bought my GIGABYTE Radeon RX 7700 XT I am unable to play cs2 for a long time without the game crashing or freezing. I had Adrenaline software and it used to crash with AMD gpu driver timeout issue, I uninstalled drivers using DDU in safemode, installed drivers without Adrenaline software, and now the game just freezes and crashes or I have to shut it down manually. I have tried the latest drivers, currently I am on 24.12.1, but the problem does not go away. I have heard that the problem appears for many players in CS2, but I am not sure what more I can do. Maybe it is because of 240 hz monitor, I don't really know. If anyone knows solution to the problem I would really appreciate it. Otherwise I will need to swap my radeon for NVIDIA gpu, but I don't really know how to approach it, so itd be better to avoid swapping haha

TIA
