Okay so whenever i leave my PC in sleep mode for like 30min-1hr it refuses to wake up and when i try to restart it the computer it gives a beep code for the GPU (5 long beeps Beeps at"d6", then show "0d" please correct me if i have misunderstood the beep code) but powering off the PC for a while and then reseating everything seems to randomly fix it. But then it does the same thing again Ive repeated this cycle about 5 times and its horribly frustrating.

Your GPU may be overheating or it may not be getting started up properly after your PC goes to sleep mode. The latter may be cause by improperly supplying power to the VGA after the PC stops using it. The PCIe power cable is plugged in to it, correct?

I dont think the gpu is overheating because I've had days where i can play games nonstop 5+ hours and the temp stays within normal range the problem only seems to occur while in sleep mode
