Over the last year or so, I've owned both Aorus 5700 XT and 6700 XTs and in both instances after a few months of ownership (main focus is 6700 XT - almost 9 months into ownership) I noticed a surge in soft crashes, where everything would freeze momentarily and then my monitors would turn black, with the screen turning back on and any crash reports coming up after about 5 seconds. It's incredibly annoying, in both cases I could redownload graphics drivers and would only see a temporary improvement in stability.
A fairly consistent pattern of very rapid spiking occurs just before and during the crash, and even with 12GB of VRAM on very light games (funnily enough crashes more often on ~750MB req OpenGL games rather than AAAs like RDR2) task manager forces me to start closing apps due to a VRAM shortage. Could this be a virus or a system issue? Any help would be appreciated since virus scans come up empty and both times its worked fine in other test computers (although this was a short term test both times).
My rig consists of:
-Corsair RM750 (Not a 750X, so Chinese capacitors but still a solid PSU)
-Ryzen 5 3600XT (Overclocked to 4.5Ghz, still crashed at base clock and with stock boost)
-B550 Aorus Motherboard (In my opinion good enough VRMs for a single GPU handling non-strenuous activities)
-Aorus 6700XT 12GB with the newest possible drivers (WHQL "Recommended")
-16GB 3200Mhz Corsair Vengeance RGB in dual channel
-My pagefile limit is 30GB and my RAM capacity is rarely reached
