I have been having issues with my RTX 3080. I randomly get black screens, with the only means of recovery being resetting my PC . This error from the reliability tracker seems to pinpoint a problem with the GPU, but I am not sure what the issue could be.

I have tried underclocking via MSI Afterburner. At first it seemed to work with -100 MHz but then the issue returned a couple days later. I tried underclocking down to -200 MHz but that just caused the GPU to crash every few minutes. I then overclocked to +35 MHz, which also worked for a couple days but then the problem came back again.
I uninstalled my NVIDIA graphics drivers through DDU and reinstalled them, but that had no effect. I also tried changing the power settings in my BIOS to prefer maximum performance and to preserve power, both seeming to have made the black screen occur much more frequently.
A short while back I swapped out my RAM to new sticks, which made the black screens go away for 3 weeks, but then they came back after a Windows update.
I tried reinstalling Windows and that also didn’t work.
I am not sure why my GPU keeps randomly failing and I do not know what else to try. Lately the black screens have started to occur every few hours instead of every few days, and sometimes the GPU fans go on turbo speed when it happens. I checked the GPU temperature right after each crash but it was always in the 50-60 degree range.
Any help would be appreciated. This problem has been driving me nuts!
