Question Gtx 950oc causing PC to FREEZE and giving a random colour

[Flare0p]

My specs:-
Mobo- Asrock A320m Hdv r4.0(running on BIOS ver 7.40 which asrock doesnt recomend which is completely my fault but also i have been using it for almost 3-4 mths no issues until now)
ram:-Hyperx 2400mhz(8gb) + Crucial 2666mhz(4gb)(later upgrades)
Cpu:- Ryzen 3 1200(no oc)
Gpu- Gigabyte GTX 950 OC Windforce Edition
Psu:-450w Non branded ( My best guess for this issue)
Storage-500gb(SSD)+1TB (HDD)

First let me say the problems i am facing i was playing Valo while it crashed .. i didnt give much thought to it at first but then i was playing but then i was playing Star Trek and saints row IV but it also crashed so i decided to clean up my card and re-paste it the temps were preety good around 65-80 under load but then it again crashed. So i decieded to try benchmarking it .. I tried haven Unigen first it crashed ... then i underclocked it(using afterburner) which gave me a score of 1450 but then i rebooted and let the card run at stock it gave me a score of 1500 .. This is where my problems starts sometimes the card crashes at a particular scene and sometimes it doesnt ,,, but everytime it just freezes the system then i have to hard reboot it >>> My last hope is u guys ..

Things i have tried :-
Underclocking
Clean install of Win 10 64bit
Reinstallation of drivers
Cleaning of GPU
Tried Each Ram stick Individually Sometimes it works like there's no issue but sometimes it crashes
(I personally dk if its a PSU issue as i have read that a PSU issue will cause the sys to shut completely and then reeboot)
(And also recently Valo have been running good but i tried cs and that seems to crash)
( And also i keep my case open so there's no heating issue)
And basic browsing seems to work fine no issue till date

Thanks for Reading

Not necessarily. This can happen both directly and indirectly (by damaging the GPU).

Getting a garbage PSU out of the mix is *always* the *first* thing to do when diagnosing a hardware issue. Which is one of the many reasons to not use a junk PSU.
