Nvidia Dirextx Error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED

Hey, little preface, if any of you manage to fix this it would be insane, I assume offering rewards isn't allowed but eternal gratitude is all I can offer for a fix of this. At this point I'm guessing the GPU is completely bricked which really sucks as I don't have another and really can't afford to buy a new one. Been trying to fix this for almost 2 years now and is starting to get annoying seen as I have quite a high end system without being able to play most games.



Background:

I've had my 2060 for about 2 years now and had a problem for about a year of that time. The error is that my GPU doesn't allow me to play games with decent graphics released past like 2010. I always get the same DirectX Function error and have never been able to fix it. I have been able to play less demanding games but a lot of them crash. The games generally crash after about 20-30 mins of playing (Outside of menus). This is the error message that comes up (It's something very similar in other games). My temps sit stable at about 75 degrees C but I still crash.

Games I crash whilst playing:
-Red Dead Redemption 2
-Battlefield 1, 4 and 5
-CS:GO
-GTA V
-Insurgency Sandstorm
-Rainbow Six Siege
-PUBG



Games that I don't crash whilst playing:
-Minecraft
-Terraria
-Stardew Valley
-TF2
-Payday 2
-GMOD
-Rocket League
-Civilization V



Things I've tried to fix it:

-Buying new PSU
-Fresh installing drivers with DDU
-Searching up answers online
-Uninstalling unneeded software
-Cleaning GPU
-Refitting all fans in case
-Upgrading both RAM sticks
-Fresh Windows install


I'll be happy to answer any questions you have. It really sucks to have a $400 GPU that doesn't run any good graphics game. I will be extremely grateful for anyone even attempting to help.

Specs:
RTX 2060
Ryzen 5 3600x
16GB Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz
B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (MS-7C02)

Run a liveCD of Linux Mint (it's very windows-like)

Linux is very unforgiving of bad hardware.

If Linux Mint behaves, then you have a software issue.

If Mint crashes, it's hardware.

 

BTW, STeam is available for Linux, so any games under Steam work pretty well.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.
