Welp been having this issue for maybe about a year now which only became more frequent as of late. Posted the same thing on LTT here but got no help :/ https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1043344-gray-screen-crash-while-gaming-and-on-desktop-r9-280/
The parts I swapped out now are a new a case, GPU, and PSU. Went from a R9 280 to a RX 570 and CX600 to a CX550M. When it got really bad with my old parts it would crash 2-3 times a day no matter what I was doing desktop browsing or gaming. Now a week later with the new parts it finally happened again all I had on was a chrome tab. I did all the regular stuff before installing the new GPU like uninstalling with DDU and updating to the new GPU drivers. I don't have any performance issues in games besides the obvious which is my FX-8320 being a bottleneck but my temps are fine and this is good enough for now as long as it doesn't crash. This is a 5 year old system now keep in mind. Any way I can fix this? I don't mess around with any voltage controls or overclocks either I have attached some GPU-Z screenshots as well View: https://imgur.com/a/1esOupO
