As the title suggests, I’m currently struggling and feel like I’ve done almost everything possible except for swapping out several components. I shared this on Reddit hoping someone could help identify the issue.

How did you accomplish this? Did you rely on software such as DDU? Also, did you reinstall the identical drivers? Consider going back to an earlier version of the driver and let me know when you're ready.

EDIT: Was this issue limited to a particular game or applies across all the games you play? (especially if they are visually demanding titles)

So I did it the normal way but also once I reformatted windows completely I did it again. It's been happening for a few months now so it would be over multiple different gpu driver versions.
It happens on games that are intensive but also happened last week on two games that are not at all. I had to lower one of the games to the lowest setting graphic wise to actually play it rather than the high setting it was on. It doesn't happen on every game I play but the issue has left me playing two games out of the many that I have to avoid the risk of crashing.
