Question PC crashes when booting CS2 or when windows buttoning out of it. Among other visual glitches.

Hi, I have had my PC for around a year. Smooth sailing until about a month and a half ago, when my ethernet connection started to slowly wither, intermittently disconnecting and reconnecting after half an hour or so. Despite my attempts to use a ethernet to usb adapter(thinking the port was damaged) it still didn't work(already tried other ethernet cable that I know works). In addition, I have been experiencing visual glitches when drawing on my computer, where my cursor suddenly stutters, or my computer freezes and then unfreezes after a few seconds. The final straw is when I play CS2. Whenever I enter the game in Fullscreen mode and exit out using the windows button, it crashes the game, either bluescreening, sending me to a black screen, or displaying some other visual glitch. I believe the problem may be the motherboard/gpu or something but I am not sure and was wondering if someone could help me identify the source of these issues. Your help is much appreciated.

SPECS:

You state encountering BSoD's, please pass on .dmp files. Host them on a site akin to DropBox and then pass on a link for us to go through them.

You can source(borrow, not buy) a reliably built PSU and run it on your platform to rule out a faulty/failing PSU on your end.

Try using DDU to remove all GPU drivers(Intel, Nvidia and AMD) in Safe Mode, then manually install the latest GPU driver sourced from AMD's support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
