Here are my specs:
EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB XC
Ryzen 5 3600
Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory
Corsair CXM 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX (used to be SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W 80 Plus Gold)
For the past month, I have been having issues with my computer having display issues like this. In addition, my display would randomly disconnect (screen would black out for about a second and come back on). Recently, I have been experiencing a lot of crashing in video games (especially Skyrim). I reinstalled the graphics card drivers at least 5 times (first a basic reinstall in NVIDIA GeForce experience, then manually uninstalling drivers and redownloading, then using DDU) but to no avail. I constantly monitored temps and GPU power draw but saw nothing out of the ordinary. I also ran a memtest to check my RAM but I got no errors.
About 2 weeks into the issues, I decided to switch out my power supply with another one I had. It did not fix anything but the crashing died down a bit. More recently, for the past week, most of the games that I play will crash randomly although not too often.
I also noticed that I was not having these similar issues in Ubuntu 18 (which I am dual booting alongside Windows 10 on the same M.2 SSD drive), however, I feel like I did not use Ubuntu too much (about 6 hours in total the past month) to even allow the issues to appear. Still, I decided to reinstall Windows by completely deleting it from my windows partition and installing it again via a bootable USB drive. However, the issues were still present though they occurred a little less often.
So finally, my plan was to switch out my graphics card with my friend's and test things out. A couple of hours in, I have not experienced a single issue with this graphics card (MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming 6GB). Games run fine, display has not disconnected, have not had any games crash so far after about 6 hours. With my graphics card (RTX 2070 S) I would have already noticed many glitches by now. The thing that messes with my head is that my friend's computer also has not experienced any issues at all either. If the GPU was faulty, wouldn't they experience the same frequent crashing and display glitches? Well, since the GPU is working fine, doesn't that mean that I would still experience issues since it now seems that something else is the culprit?
As of now, I am completely exhausted of ideas, so now I ask anyone if there is anything you all think I should try. For now, I am still testing my PC with my friend's GPU, and my friend is doing the same with my GPU for a couple of days since these issues are not immediately apparent. Thank you!
