Radeon rx 6500 xt drivers causing restarts

I've recently upgraded from a 1050 to a radeon 6500xt + a new ryzen CPU. It's my first AMD graphics card and so far it's been working very well, however I've encountered an issue where my computer seems to restart spontaneously while playing some games. Let's lay the groundwork first though: No, it's not overheating - I've monitored both CPU and GPU temperatures while troubleshooting and neither went over 70 degrees celciu. No, it's not my PSU's fault because the issue doesn't seem to be happening in resource heavy games. Elite Dangerous: Odyssey and Apex legends both ran fine on their respective maximum settings (elite ran like crap on ultra but that's to be expected from such a horribly optimised game) and I've so far encountered the problem in MTG Arena (a card game primarily designed for mobile), Ultrakill (indie FPS - runs on potatos) and FlightGear flight simulator (in that game, however it didn't cause a restart, just an OpenGL failure and a brief ~5sec. freeze). Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? If so what's the solution.

My exact specs for anyone who's wondering: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT, RAM 16Gb DDR4, MB: MSI A320M, Running a modified version of Windows 10 (Debloated, not likely to be the issue, it worked just fine for years before the upgrade).

Any help would be appreciated.
