Question A Solution for the AMD RX 570 spins on boot and then stop spinning. PC crashes after temperature rises.

This worked for me for the RX 570 fan not spinning. My computer is an AMD FX-8150 on a Gigabyte GA990-FX-UD3 (ver1.1) motherboard. GPU is MSI Armor AMD RX 570 8 GB. When my 16GB (Timetec 16 BG kit) ram was set at 1.5 V in the bios my computer would crash and I would notice that the GPU fans would not spin (if they spun at the boot, they would stop spinning right afterwards). After thoroughly cleaning the GPU and repasting the Dual cooler, it would still crash. The only solution left for me was to lower the voltage of the RAM to 1.3 V and now the GPU fan spins and there are no crashes. How weird is that? Hope this works for anyone who is experiencing Fan and GPU problems. You may have to play with the RAM voltages based on your RAM type and Manufacturer specs. Good luck.

Any time you run an overclock to the CPU or RAM you have to be sure the power delivery on your motherboard (VRM) are up to the task. That is not a low voltage load for RAM, so honestly a bit surprised no damage occurred unless the RAM specifically stated it was built for it. I would have expected that value to be more in line with 1.3-1.35 or so. anything higher than that is extreme and even if it had booted it would not have been long before the VRM caused a similar crash.

Indeed as you said. The motherboard default choices were "load optimal settings for stability" and the BIOS voltage for the RAM displayed 1.5 V. The interesting thing is that the Memory Manufacturer suggested that their RAM could be set at1.35 V /1.5V for the DDR3 memory.

Glad to hear it isn't outside the range for your RAM, but does appear that the motherboard itself is not up to the task.
