System crashes at random (during gaming or general use) shortly after Gigabyte Vega 56 installation. Drivers are up to date. Several occurrences over the month or so that I've owned the card. It's extremely frustrating and I (and several others, it seems) need a fix.
System Info:
MOBO: MSI Z77A-G43 (latest BIOS installed)
CPU: Core i5 3570k @ 3.40 GHz
GPU: Gigabyte Vega 56 w/64 BIOS (Radeon Software v19.6.2)
RAM: 16GB (4x4GB) Patriot DDR3 @ 533MHz
SSD (Primary): 232 GB Samsung 860 EVO
HDD (Secondary): 931 GB Western Digital WDC WD1001FALS-00E3A0
HDD (Tertiary): 232 GB Seagate ST3250410AS
PSU: Corsair TX 750W 80+
OS: Windows 10 Pro ver 1809
Monitors:
ASUS VE276 (main, HDMI)
2x HP E222 (secondary, DP)
Scenario:
All monitors go black, system is unresponsive, and GPU fans hit max speed.
This forces a hard reset.
Upon boot I receive a message from the Radeon app stating "Default WattMan settings have been restored due to unexpected system failure."
Global WattMan settings had never been altered from their default state at this point, which was set to "Balanced" and "Automatic".
I found that with this setting (again, default), my fans were not spinning and the GPU instead opted to passively cool itself.
Windows Reliability Monitor shows several hardware errors over the weeks since installing the GPU.
(yes, all of these are GPU crashes!)
This crash in particular reads as follows:

I attempted to set WattMan to custom and set Speed/Temp on fans to Manual, with power limit set at 0, which allowed them to spin up.
Shut down my PC, allowed Windows Update to run, and ran some errands.
Came home and spent a few hours playing Beam.NG Drive and had no issues whatsoever.
After closing Beam.NG Drive, I started simply scrolling through Twitter and then my system crashed with a BSOD error THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER.

Once recovered, I disabled AUEPMaster through Radeon settings, based on some advice from another user here. DXDiag shows that this app crashed:

Anyway, I'm at a loss here. I'm not technically savvy enough to know how to fix this and it took hours of research to dig up even this much information. I want to love this GPU but it has given me nothing but problems since day 1. Please fix this, AMD.
