GPU Driver Crashing at random times

Hello!
I have just connected a second screen to my PC, and it had to go into the integrated gpu port since the graphics card doesn't have a VGA connector. I didn't have high hopes for this to work, but it did and I can use both the GPU and the iGPU. I have, however, encountered an error.. At times when I, for example, start a video or launch a program, the GPU driver crashes and the main display turns into blue and black vertical lines. The computer is still functional and I can use the screen connected to the iGPU, but I have to reboot to be able to use my main screen. The crash, other than how I described, comes at completely random times, and unlike a regular driver crash, it isn't fixed by restoring the driver. I have checked the windows logs and it confirms that the amd driver crashed and was restored. Is there any way I can solve this?

Edit: I do have the latest drivers on both graphics cards
