Question Weird GPU issues

[Ionut_52]

I'm gonna start with the pc specs and then explain my issue
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
GPU: XFX RX 580
PSU: E-waste spec Serioux 650w (12v is rated for 600w and i don't want bombs in my household so i'm planning on changing it)
The gpu shuts off when playing most games (no display output but the rest of the pc keeps going, fans, audio, etc), but it has no issues in triple A titles and poorly optimized games like beam.ng that keep the gpu pinned at 100%.
Stress tests that keep the gpu pinned (furmark and the amd integrated one) work no problem, on the other hand the tests with more variation in gpu usage (idk how to explain) like the ones from OCCT crashed. Temps were under 80 degrees in every test so it's not a thermal issue
I have checked the psu voltages on hwinfo and they read fine under load (3.3v was at 3.338v, 5v was at 5.2v and 12v was at 12.19v)
After some crashes windows decides to disable the gpu in device manager and have to enable it myself
Idk if it's the graphics card acting up, maybe some vrm issues, or the psu wanting to end its lifetime early.
I'm dumbfounded on what it may be and i still want to game until i get a new psu and/or gpu (depending on what broke)

Is this the unit you're working with? Swap out the PSU to something reliably built with 550W of power to the entire system and you should be out of the woods. Source(borrow, not buy) a unit from a friend or neighbor and see if the issue persists.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

if you can afford to replace your PC's innards after the unit ruins them, then you can continue taxing as you are now, but if I were you, I'd be careful not to tax the system with a PSU of questionable build quality. To add, it could even be your motherboard's VRM faltering.

I'll keep that in mind for the next time i need help, thanks

Is this the unit you're working with?

Sadly yes, that is what im working with. I bought it as a temporary solution and it became the semi-permanent solution

Your motherboard has a capable VRM design for a Ryzen 5 5600, I'm very certain the issue you're seeing is caused by the PSU. You can try and use 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.

F63 Bios
However you have BIOS versions pending update. Flash the BIOS to F66d and see if the issue persists.

Model?

Have tried this already, multiple times actually, tried different driver versions, the issue persisted.
Re-installed windows 2 days ago the issue persisted.

F63 Bios
However you have BIOS versions pending update. Flash the BIOS to F66d and see if the issue persists.

I will try flashing the bios to F66d but i doubt it'll help.

The issue recently started happening at first it was only older dx9 games that crashed on me, now it spread to almost all games that don't max out the gpu.
At this point I think it's clearly the psu being on it's last legs, i wanted a more professional opinion as i'm still relatively new to pc building. Thank you for your help!

I agree with Lutfij and change out the power supply.

While your waiting for the replacement power supply STOP stressing the system running and doing the stress testing.

Lower your in game setting to med or low to also take the stress off the power supply. If your not running resolution at 1920x 1080 or lower do that as well.

But yes get a solid power supply is number one goal.

UPDATE: After updating the bios, changing the psu and messing around trying to troubleshoot, I finally found the culprit: the GPU VRM.
