Hey everyone, not exactly sure which part of the forum to post this, mods feel free to delete this if it's in the wrong place. I thought I'd try here after searching around on google, reddit, youtube, and several other places and couldn't figure out what is wrong with my PC.

I just recently installed a new RX560 4GB (with a 6pin plug that is plugged in) in my system to game with. I was previously using the built in APU on my 2200G. Now that I have a graphics card in my system, I am getting all kinds of issues from black screens to reboots to driver failures to full lock ups that require a manual reboot. Sometimes my game will freeze then go to a black screen. Sometimes it hangs there and forces me to manually reboot the computer, sometimes it turns off my monitor and tells me no input and I have to manually reboot, sometimes it just reboots my computer immediately.
Before I had a dedicated graphics card I had zero issues with this system.
I have checked the event log and have these errors:
"Warning - Display - Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered." (this happens about 2-4 times a day, both while gaming and browsing the web)
"Distributed COM - The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID" (like 20-30 times a day)
"Critical - Event 41 - Kernel Power - The previous system shutdown at 3:19:47 PM on 10/9/2018 was unexpected." (this happens about 1-2 times a day while gaming)
This is all while playing Forza Horizon 3 (the only PC game I currently have, I built this computer to play it)
-----------------
So far I've tried:
-full wipe & reinstall of windows 4x
-ssd diagnostics tool
-memtest for 8 hours, no faults found
-PSU test with OCCT
-Updated bios, changed CMOS battery, ensured nothing is overclocked or altered
-Furmark GPU stress test for several hours
-Furmark GPU & CPU test at the same time
-Prime95 test for 30 minutes
-wiping all drivers with DDU and trying both older drivers and newer drivers (currently on 18.9.3)
-Fully updating all windows updates and chipsets and everything else I could possibly update the drivers on
-Ive tried a spare 500W PSU I had, same issues, same reboots and freezes
-Reseated the ram, the psu cables and CPU, even got a new cooler and TP for the CPU
Does anyone have any suggestions? Things I should try? I don't have another PC to put the graphics card in unfortunately.
