Made a post about this a few days ago but now I have the GPU in my possession so I can do further testing with it. The GPU in qestion is an MSI Armor RX 570 with 8gb of vram. Was in my cousins PC for about a year and he decided to reuse it for his new custom pc that I built for him. In the old PC this problem happened rarely and could be managed. But now it is impossible to play games for more than 10 minutes without the thing crashing. When it crashes it goes to whatever color on the screen was most prominent. Its not an overheating issue, the card rarely reaches 60 degrees celcius when in a game. It doesnt just crash when it gets warm, it also crashes when it is moved bumped or even just tapped lightly. The interesting thing is, it doesnt react to bumps when its idling at temps of 30 degrees celcius, only when it reaches higher temps. Another interesting thing is it is much harder to make it crash when moving it upwards, when I press downwards on it it crashes much more easily. Thought it may have only been a problem with the  ports so i tried with all 3 DP ports, the hdmi and the DVI port, all had the same issues. Tried it in 3 different PCs and all had the same problem. I even connected a second display to my integrated gpu and played games with the card while afterburner was running on the second screen. When the card crashed it took the other display with it, freezing it. Luckily I was able to take a picture of the temps and utilization while the screen was frozen. Any Ideas on why this was happening? I thought it may have been a broken capacitor or there were fractures on the pcb, but i found nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated
