Graphics Cards

i would this happen to be a GFX driver problem or a GFX card problem?  I keep getting kernel-power 41 errors.  I think i found the problem, after doing a little digging.  I think it has something to do with my GFX card drivers.  Because all my errors:

this is from 7am this morning:

I am using radeon OEM drivers from MSI version 27.20.11044.7.  Also I don't know if it matters that I am using the U######.inf drivers not the C#######.inf drivers.  Or is my GFX card going bad???  Because sometimes the display goes all wonky.

Any help would be appreciated.  thank you

Just full system specs are fine. Kernel power 41 is a generic power failure, means the system crashed or you lost power completely either from actually losing power or the PSU shutting off. More info would be needed as well, like does this happen during use or after sleep? Using a battery backup UPS system? 

Display "going wonky" could be a bad PSU, GPU, overheating of a component, bad RAM, bad monitor. 

If you suspect it's a driver then use this in safe mode: Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 18.0.3.6 (guru3d.com)

And download the 20.8.3 driver from this page and save it prior to uninstalling the current video driver: Radeon™ RX 570 Previous Drivers | AMD

Disconnect from the internet while doing the uninstall/reinstall, then go into Radeon Software settings and disable automatic updates before reconnecting to the internet.

If you have a monitor that requires 3rd party drivers like a Dell or HP, download and install them too.
