Build new all AMD System, but some games show Driver Timeout

Hi, 

i build a new system with:

Ryzen 7 5700X
GigaByte B550 Aorus Elite V2 AX
PowerCooler RX6800 XT 16GB
32 GB Kingston Fury KF436C16RB1K2/32 Kit
850W be quiet! Straight Power 11

Air cooled case with a be quiet! 240 Pure Loop AIO mounted at the top.
CPU no OC, GPU no OC
Error occurs with XMP Enabled and disabled

When I'm trying to play some games, Starfield, Red Dead Redemption or 3DMark, the applications crashing to desktop with the "driver timeout" error message. Sometimes at once the game itself is loaded but sometimes only after a few minutes of playing.
Some older games are running fine and Heaven Benchmark runs fine to.
Temps of the CPU are about 50° - 60° max and GPU about 60° - 70° with a hotspot temp about 88° - 90°.

It's a new and fresh Windows 11 installation with no other programs running in the background than the normal services of windows itself.
All drivers are updated to the newest version. Tried to roll back the radeon driver to the 23.8x version, but nothing changed.
All features in the radeon settings are turned of.

I'm trying to isolate the problem, but I've no idea if the issue is caused by the CPU, the board or the GPU.
Only one information is confusing me: If i'm looking into HWInfo64 the line Power Reporting Deviation is red and showing a value of 85% to 88% under full CPU load using Cinebench R23. In idle it's jumping between 60% and 240%.
I'd never seen such values on other all AMD systems like another one of a friend of mine using a 5800X and a RX6750 XT.

Is there anything I can do to isolate the issue or checking if the CPU, board, RAM or GPU is bad or broken?
I'm guessing it would be more a problem of the CPU or the board power, than the GPU because of the wrong power accuracy shown by HWINFO.

I know this "driver timeout"-issue is something hard to investigate, but I spend a lot of money for the parts and no the system is not running properly.
