---the problem ended up being the case fan hooked up through molex adapted. looks like its time to buy some new proper case fans.
recently bought a RX580 and and having some odd issues i cant pinpoint. will leave links below for parts information. some back story, i had a old rx380 that would rarely randomly show artifacts or the screen would go black for a split second then come back. it was really uncommon and not a major issue so i just dealt with it. figured it was time to get a new one with the deals going on.
after getting the 580 installed and trying to run furmark for stress testing it would start for like 2 seconds then the screen would go black and come back on with furmark crashing. i lowered settings on the gpu from stock and it slowly got more stable until it ran furmark without crashing but it still gave a random artifact flicker for a second like my other card.
my power supply is a seasonic 620w and i figured maybe it was the issue. my only other psu onhand is like a 10 year old antec green 500w. i pulled the antec from my spare pc and hooked up only my boot drive gpu mobo and cpu pins. booted up no issue and ran furmark on stock gpu settings got no artifacts or crashing nothing just perfect as it should be.
i then go through the process of totally swapping my psus hook up all 4 of my hard drives (2 ssd and 2 spinners) and 1 case fan that has a molex adapter. boot up the pc start furmark and the computer instantly crashes and reboots.
one oddity i noticed was when i had the successful test hwmonitor was showing the gpu idle power at like 5w and the clocks both graphics and memory were only 300, now while im having the issue its idle is back to 20w and the memory is 2000mhz (same as it was with the seasonic). the voltage was also lower with the successful test i dont 100% remember but i wanna say .750v compared to .950v now with the issues.
the hard drives cant really be pushing that much power to push me to my limit can they? i would think its a lack of power if the 500w totally crashes the computer but the 620 is enough to keep it going but just crash the program. ill try some more testing at a later point but wanted to get some opinions and maybe someone else who experienced and fixed similar
mobo - asrock z97 fatality
cpu - 4790k
ram - 4x 8gb 1600 ddr3
2x sata ssd
2x spinner hd
2x 120 fans (1 exhaust and 1 on cpu)
