It doesn't look like I can view the vram temperature in sensors but this is the info I have for the GPU:

I'm not really sure why I tried to draw a diagram instead of taking a picture... sorry about that I guess I wasn't really thinking. Heres a picture though:

Also any good programs to measure vram temps? My bios does not support that feature.

Well that's actually possible, the fans were getting quite load so maybe they are overheating... I'll attach a diagram of my 'airflow' I'll experiment with a fan, but how will I know if the issue is solved (since if the problem is inadequate cooling, I'll probably want to update the number...

Alright so an update, I ran 3DMark, the Assassins Creed Odyssey Benchmark, and played Hollow Knight with an uncapped frame rate. While both the 3DMark and AC tests went perfectly (the GPU performed as expected), when I booted up HK things started getting bad. At first things were fine, the GPU...

Thanks, Glad my GPU was not the problem... Well, I guess that is what happens when you cheap out on a power supply, it comes back to bite! Also thanks for the recommendation for 3DMark, I'll check it out!

I just finished installing the new PSU, booted up my PC, and IT WORKS! I checked device manager and task manager, and both registered the GPU as working properly. However, I don't want to jinx it so do you know any good GPU benchmark/reliability test that I can run in order to ensure the GPU...

The new PSU just arrived! (took a LOT longer than it said it would...) Hopefully, this will fix the problem and I won't have to deal with Yeston's warranty service. It'll probably take a little while to replace the PSU since my old one isn't modular so I'll have to unplug everything and...

Again, thank you so much for your help! I'll probably end up purchasing the psu you recommended regardless of whether or not the issue is with the GPU!

Thank you very much for the advice! Glad to know that the motherboard is a non-issue. In regards to your suggestion, should I attempt to test the GPU on a friend's machine? or should I just get the psu immediately and see if that fixes it?

Do you have any experience/knowledge with Yeston? Also I checked the product page and it says it should work with a 450+ Watt psu...

Should I disconnect my graphics card from my PC or keep my PC turned off to prevent damage while I'm working on fixing this issue? Also in case you want a copy of my "minidump" files, you can find them here.

Thanks for responding so quickly, my PSU is about 5 years old, I got it when I initially built my PC. I also thought it might have been a PSU issue, but the crashes happened when the graphics card was not drawing that much power and the PC runs fine in safe mode or with the GPU turned off by...

This is my first time making a post here (long-time lurker, first-time user), I have run into a somewhat convoluted issue with my new RTX 3060 GPU, that IMO has two possible explanations. A little over 5 years ago, I built my first PC, a lower-end entrance gaming PC. As such, I ended up making a...
