Windows 10: rx5700xt crashes. Broken GPU, Motherboard, or power supply.

Has anyone experienced these crashes before with an Rx5700xt? This a brand new built pc and I have been trying everything. I rolled back/updated drivers, updated bios, set bios to default settings, ran cpu stress test to check if its a cpu problem, and even reapplied thermal paste on both my cpu and gpu. After checking my event viewer these 2 are the errors that keep popping up right before my pc experiences these weird green screen crashes:

A problem with your hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly.

I reason that this is either a gpu, motherboard, or power supply problem. I have tried everything to recreate the problem and gpu stress tests have been the most successful. It is important to note that there is no consistency in the time of the crashes and my pc doesn't always completely power off and experiences weird display corruption until my driver timeouts. I have no other components to swap in and test out so I have to make a quick decision about which component to rma. I am stuck between a mobo/psu and gpu since it could be the case that my gpu is experiencing a power delivery problem, however I am confused as to how my gpu could cause my pc to restart, is this even possible? Here is a video of the crashes:

Computer crashing during GPU load.

AMD RYZEN 5 2600X 3.6GHZ

32.0 GB DDR5 RAM

AMD radeon 5700

AMD 580X

MSI X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI MOTHERBOARD

THERMALTAKE SMART 700W ATX POWER SUPPLY

I have been dealing with my computer crashing when the GPU is under load. I have tried switching different GPUs to try and weed out whether or not the GPU is having problems, and it still crashes. I have tried reformatting all of my HD's and SSD's as well
as run SFC commands and using the repair tool as well. I do not overclock my GPU or my CPU because it crashes less frequently when they are not overclocked. I have created the system report log and the critical error that i keep on getting is "Kernel Power
41, category 63."

I am starting to wonder if my power supply isnt strong enough to handle either of the GPUs.

 

Bad power supplies, or evil motherboard?

TL;DR: Power supply was working, put computer to sleep, power supply went dead. New power supply was working, did not put computer to sleep, power supply went dead. Is the problem two faulty power supplies or a motherboard from hell?


Over the past week I've run into a problem with a couple of power supply units, or potentially the motherboard. The best way to describe this problem is to describe the chain of events in order:


- Computer is functioning normally for years. I put the computer into sleep mode and go to bed.
- The next morning the computer will not power on.
- The power supply, NZXT HALE90, makes it's usual "click" sound, but no power.
- There is also no power when attempting to power on through the motherboard's power button.
- The motherboard LED light does go on when the power supply is switched to "on".
- The power supply is removed, tested with multimeter/paperclip trick: No power.
- A new power supply is purchased, a Corsair gold-rated unit.
- The power supply is connected to the computer. It powers on successfully and the computer works.
- The power supply had something like a "hiccup" when powering on. Powered on, then off, then on again.
- This also happened to my first power supply (HALE90) the first few times using it back in 2013.
- Computer continues to function normally for the next couple hours. No problems to report during usage.
- I fall asleep with the computer still on. Upon waking up, the computer is now off. The monitor is still on.
- The computer will not turn on. The fan will spin for half a second, but no power.
- As before, the motherboard LED goes on when the power supply is switched to "on".
- The power supply is removed, tested with multimeter/paperclip trick: Power cuts within half a second.


And that's where I am right now.


The case is a CoolerMaster HAF, the motherboard is an ASUS P8Z68 model, the video card is a GTX 580.


The computer is connected to a surge protector that still tests as "protected". There were no power outages during this time, the monitor itself stayed on in the second scenario, and no other electronics connected to the outlet are showing any effects.


From my perspective there are two possibilities here.
1) My original power supply simply gave out, and I just happened to purchase a faulty power supply that only worked for a few hours.
2) My motherboard or some other component is malfunctioning in a way in which the power supply is getting damaged.


My intuition is of course the first option, but I've been unable to find enough information on my own to rule out the second option. Is that even possible? Is there another option I'm missing? I've now purchased a 3rd power supply. My fear is that if something is wrong with the computer I could burn out the new power supply.


What explains all this and what should I do? Thanks in advance.
