Installed new RTX 3060 Ti - Crashing while idle

I decided to open this thread back up because I got a completely new and different model of the RTX 3060 Ti and still getting hard crashes without BSOD while watching videos. My computer completely locks up making a loud buzzing sound from my headphones. I didn't have a mini dump file this time around. I've done MEMtest and everything was fine. New drivers with DDU for the graphics card.. I'm completely stumped. Not sure what to do. While I was waiting for my refund and the new card to arrive I went back to older cards and the issue wasn't happening on my 1060, 970 or Intel HD graphics. It's only with RTX 3060 Ti. I can game on the new card for hours and hours and it's completely fine. I am only running into this issue when idle or watching videos. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Turns out it might have been Nvidia Broadcast. I was trying this out when I got the first 3060 Ti and uninstalled it when I returned the suspected faulty card and used my old card until the new one arrived. I didn't run into the BSOD issue anymore. I re-installed Nvidia Broadcast with the new 3060 Ti when it arrived and happened again. I ran driver verifier to check and it was triggering a BSOD with nvrtxvad64v.sys so I have uninstalled it completely. I will reply to this post if I still run into any issues.

 

New Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti not recognized, need help troubleshooting  

Last year I got on a waiting list. In October I received two notifications at the same time. I had 48 hours to pick either the:
1) ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Republic of Gamers Strix V2 OC
2) ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 TUF GAMING V2 OC

I chose the RTX 3060 Ti and paid $650 USD.

I could have bought the card anytime elsewhere but there was no way I was going to pay the buy now price then of $1000-$1100 USD.
