No, your RX 580 is not dying. It’s functioning normally and should continue to perform well.

While using the heavily modded version of Skyrim, my GPU overheated. I lowered the clock speed to keep temperatures stable. Right after setting it to 1230/1830 MHz, my monitor displayed pink, black, green lines and small artifacts horizontally. When I restarted, everything cleared up. The issue only appeared on Windows, not the BIOS screen. My GPU is a second-hand unit that’s been used for about six months. It hasn’t been repaired or cleaned. These lines suggest something might be wrong with the card, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s failing completely. You should keep an eye on it, but it seems manageable right now.
I don’t have a perfect fix, but I’ve noticed similar problems before, including with my RX 570. The issue causes the screen to flicker erratically, like a disco beat without rhythm. I attempted a driver update for the 500 series over a year, but nothing resolved it. I’m worried about the instability and hope the problem gets fixed soon. Thanks to AMD for their support.
In theory, most computer hardware ends abruptly without warning. Electronic parts usually fail quickly and silently, unlike mechanical ones where problems become noticeable early. A hard drive might show signs of trouble if you can reliably detect the same issues and rule out driver or game-specific problems—like the strange flash in Plague's Tale that I saw once, likely just a random occurrence among many players.
Check for an extra storage device and attempt to install Windows there. The problem may stem from a faulty driver requiring replacement. For the overheating concern, think about reapplying paste to the GPU, as it might have dried out.
