Windows disables my GPU giving error 22, it happens randomly, not in intensive areas but everywhere.

specs:

RX 570 I5 2400 8GB RAM

The RAM is not maxed out, The VRAM is not maxed out, The CPU is almost always between 85% and 60% usage, only the GPU is maxed out and the temps never exceed 73 degrees C

I tried removing ENB and Reshade (most intensive graphics mods) , but nothing worked out.

I undervolted my card ( RX 570 ) by 10 percent, I manually set the fan speed to 80 when playing intensive games and all works fine except skyrim

When I was casually playing Skyrim, during a fight ( nothing intensive at all, 60 FPS and the GPU temp was 65 degrees c ) the problem mentioned in the title happened, everything was working as it is, the game was going on and I was getting hit and it was very responsive as it should be, but the screen was not detecting the GPU

What happened forced me to shut off my computer using the power button, reinstalled the driver with ddu and the latest drivers from amd, opened furmark for 10 minutes and the results were good, played the witcher 3 and elden ring and everything was great.

i've been recently suggested to remove the undervolt in my gpu ( i did so by 10% ) but i dont really know what to do at this point

Possible that you need to reseat the video card. Especially with AMD, you won't necessarily get a "VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE" bugcheck.
 
Is this new Skyrim with hd textures or an old unpatched version? If its the old version get the patch, if you got it on Steam it should be pre-patched to v1.9x
