Intermittent no signal crashes for the past few months

For the past couple months my PC has been calling crashing in games intermittently. The screen goes black with no video signal and sounds keep playing for a little bit then either loop or static. I have to hard reset by holding the power button to fix it. The problem has been most prevalent in rocket league but that could be confirmation bias as I probably play it most. I remember it happening once in PUBG and I'm not sure but it may of happened in Titanfall 2 as well.

Last week I changed out the motherboard, CPU, and PSU on my case and the issue persists. I also completely reinstalled Windows at that time. I've also clean reinstalled AMD drivers back to the March drivers as that's when I originally built the PC and I didn't have problems back then.

I've checked reliability history on the PC and I almost always get live kernel event 141.

Original system:
Intel Pentium G4560
Asus strix ROG rx 470 8gb
AsRock H110m-itx/ac
G.Skill Aegis 2400mHz 1x8gb (run at 2133mhz)
SanDisk SSD plus 120gb
Seagate 5tb HDD (from external drive)
EVGA B1 700w (didn't realize this was a poor choice till shortly before upgrade)

Current system changes:
i5 7500
Gigabyte GA B250M D3H
EVGA G2 Supernova 550w
Replaced 5tb with WD Blue 1TB

With the new motherboard I have also tried both 2133 and 2400 speeds on the RAM, still crashes.

From all that I've read my guess is that it's either the graphics card or the RAM or I'm doing something terribly wrong. This has been a real pain and I'd love to fix it. Any ideas?

"No signal crashes" can be related to either PSU, RAM and GPU issues most of the time, could you please try testing your RAM sticks or even cleaning it if you didn't yet, use an eraser to clean the contact part and remove the dust with a clean brush, also try cleaning the RAM Slots of your MotherBoard. Try also borrowing a RAM stick from someone you know that is working fine and try testing it with it and see if it crashes. Also for PSU I don't know where you heard that EVGA PSU would be a poor choice but it's a good PSU as far as I know...

Also run MemTest to test your RAM Sticks to find out if there's anything wrong with them - https://www.memtest86.com/

After doing all of these, if the problem still persists, try removing your GPU...

After doing all of these, if the problem still persists, try removing your GPU and testing with Intel HD Graphics instead, I'm sure it comes with one. Also try checking any loose cables between GPU Power Cables, PSU and Motherboard.

Try all of those above and post your feedback.
