Windows 10: Random Black Screen, Requiring Hard Reset

I've been getting random black screens, causing my PC to become unresponsive. The only thing I can do to get it to come back is to force reboot it.

This happens at seemingly random times. On average about once per day, while gaming but sometimes while idling or waking from sleep. I haven't noticed a pattern as to when it happens.

I've tried doing a clean reinstall of my graphics drivers with DDU, and downgrading to an older driver version (19.12.1), to no avail.

At this point I'm wondering if it's a power supply issue. Mine is a great power supply, but its >5 years old. Is that too old? How would I test it?

I attached an export of my admin logs from event viewer. I looked to see if there was a common error around when I crash, but I haven't seen any.

Any help is appreciated. I can attach more logs if needed, just tell me which ones and how to get them.

Specs below:

Windows 10 version 1903
Ryzen 3600
MSI Gaming Plus Max Motherboard
16gb ddr4
AMD Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro+
CoolerMaster V700 700W PSU
3 Sata SSD's
1 WD Blue

Link to Admin Event Viewer Log download: google drive

Thanks y'all
