Dirty Power, or a Failing PSU?
Just a follow up:
Because the crashes were occurring when I launched a game, I decided to watch what was happening with my graphics card leading up to the crash. Upon launching, the GPU ramped up to 100% usage, right before triggering the crash. So I went and dug out an old R9 270 to swap in and see if it makes any difference. I launched the same game as before, and managed to play for the better part of an hour with no issues whatsoever. I recognize that the power requirements of the R9 270 are a fraction of what my R9 Fury demands, but I'm thinking, at this point, that a power problem seems increasingly less likely.
Soooo.... it looks like the problem is with my graphics card. Yay. I may try taking it apart for visual inspection, but for the time being that seems to be the culprit.
