You're dealing with a tricky setup situation. It sounds like your system might have intermittent issues that aren't always obvious. The fact that the GPU works on other tests but not under normal conditions could point to a power supply, motherboard, or cooling problem. The crash and debug warnings suggest something is wrong with the GPU or possibly the power delivery. Replacing the CPU helped, which indicates the original issue might be related to the GPU itself rather than the CPU. Trying to boot with an older model of the same CPU could help confirm if the problem is hardware-related or software-dependent. It's wise to check for any recent changes, firmware updates, or signs of overheating. If the behavior persists after testing different components, it might be worth consulting a professional.

It might have been just a loose contact in the PCIe port that faded over time, resolved by reinserting the GPU or another connection along the path from GPU to CPU. Stressing usually doesn't solve PC problems—avoid doing it often. Monitor the situation; if it repeats, it could signal a lasting issue. When it happens again, first reinsert the GPU, and if that fails, gently move it up as if the PC were flat with the GPU hanging out. If this works, your issue likely lies in the PCIe connection and fixing the GPU could be the simplest fix. Cheers!

Older configurations may see contact points degrade in humid conditions. Disassembling and cleaning those contacts (excluding CPU pins) could address one potential issue. Conduct stress tests; if stability holds, the problem might be weak connections between parts. Otherwise, identify crash triggers under specific settings and focus there. It quickly becomes a detailed investigation, but when stability fails, finding the cause is essential.
