My new pc kept crashing during benchmark tests. After a couple troubleshoot steps my pc almost crashed and an AMD bug report popped up. I can't figure out if it's the driver, my pc cooling, or a power delivery problem. After getting the bug report pop up I ran the test again and instead of a pop up I got a green screen and my pc crashed. I'm running an Asrock rx5700xt Taichi and a 3700x cpu with the stock cooler and the adrenaline 20.12.1 driver. My cpu and gpu temps stay around high 60-75c range when running the Heaven benchmark test. Here is a video: Pc crashing View: https://imgur.com/a/e1bqFq5

I built It a few weeks ago and have been experiencing the problems since day one. Here is a user benchmark for a closer look at my specs: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/37643806. The power supply that I am running is a Gigabyte P650B and yes I have both updated and tried older drivers. The only thing that I haven't updated yet is the bios because I am not too sure that it will make a difference, perhaps I should try doing so.
