Black screen + gpu fans going full speed + wdm.exe with kernelbase.dll error in event viewer

[Hesper]

Hello! 

 

I'm suddenly having black screen issues with the gpu fans going full throttle while gaming. The issue pops up randomly and will stay unless I restart the pc. anyone knows if this can be fixed?

 

PC specs are:
Ryzen 7 3800X (stock, not OCd) 
Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super OC edition
RAM is 2x8GB 3200Mhz
ASUS Prime B550M-K (updated to the latest bios)

Seasonic SSR-500GB3 80+ bronze

Windows 10 22H2, installed all windows updates available
Nvidia drivers is version 526.98

 

Temps are:
Idle at 54C, peaked at 87C on furmark before crashing

Idle at 45C, peaked at 84C on furmark before crashing (after repaste)

 

What I've tried:

>reinstalled windows
>uninstalled drivers using DDU, clean install on nvidia drivers, uninstalled again using nvidia cleanup tool then clean installed again

>took the gpu apart, cleaned it, found out that the original paste has dried up (literally crumbled in my hand) and applied a fresh thermal paste. There was a thermal pad stuck on the heatsink, I left it untouched as I don't have any extras, so I wasn't able to replace them.

>tried the 1660 on a different pc, issue persists. tried a different gpu on my pc, no issues

 

Issue only appears during gaming.

Playing videos and browsing net are fine.

GPU is a little bit more than 2 years, mainly used for gaming, watching videos and regular browsing

Games played are: Dota 2, Skyrim, RDR2, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Genshin, Apex, Valorant, PUBG, Borderlands, AC series

 

EDIT: 

Just to add, I know this will be impossible but is there a tiniest bit of chance I can RMA or even have it repaired at Gigabyte? I'm from the Philippines, lost the receipt and most likely well over warranty period
