Computer details: R5 3600 MSI GTX 1070 Gaming (previously Powercolor RX 570 Red Dragon). Teamgroup: 16gb (2x8gb), 3000mhz CL16, EVGA 650 BQ, Asrock B450, Steel Legend. The problem persists! I recently replaced my old RX 570 with this new card and everything functioned properly. However, during intense tasks like gaming or stress tests, the software would crash or display BSODs after about 30 to 60 seconds. I've tried running several games—Valorant, F1 22, FIFA 23, 3DMark Time Spy, Unigine Superposition—and in each case, the program ran briefly before stopping. There were no visual glitches except for Unigine, where noticeable issues appeared before crashing. According to Unigine's data, the card operated around 100fps and maintained ~70°C. During testing with hwmon in Time Spy, power consumption was similar (~150W). I followed troubleshooting steps: removed AMD Adrenalin, installed the latest Nvidia drivers, attempted game launches which still crashed, cleaned the card, reinstalled drivers, reset Windows via recovery, and even performed a full system reinstall. Despite these efforts, the issue remains unresolved. I suspect it might be a software or driver problem rather than hardware failure. I hope this isn’t a permanent fix and would appreciate any advice. I’m confident the card worked well for my friend, so I’m hoping this is just a temporary glitch.

I think the card performed well for a long time, so I’m not sure if there’s a hardware problem. Are you certain? This shows how reliable your friend is. A fresh Windows installation would be a good next step, especially since this could relate to drivers or conflicts. You also seem to have sufficient power, which helps determine whether the issue lies in hardware or software.
