Computer crashes to solid color screen/sound artifacts. Have reinstalled windows multiple times, seems like it could be a driver issue? but is it a GPU driver issue or CPU driver issue? Doesn't seem to happen until I run some graphics intensive game (Shadow Of Mordor, New 2015 Batman Game). Color of screen run-time dependent. Artifacts are a short ~5ms loop of whatever sound sample was running @ the time.
Specs: Bazooka motherboard, Gigabyte AMD rx480 GPU, Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5 GHz
Processor Main Features: 64 bit Quad-Core Processor
Cache Per Processor: 6 MB L3 Cache
Memory: 8 GB DDR4
Storage: 2 TB SATA III 7200 RPM + 120 GB SSD
Optical Drive: 24x DVD±R/±RW Dual Layer Drive
Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 480 8 GB GDDR5
Power Supply: 600W 80+
Running Windows 10 Home 64-Bit

Upgrade my PSU to a Thermaltake 650W 80+B, no difference. Wondering if I should just return the GPU. I took out the graphics card, ran FurMark/other benchmarks, and while it was slow, nothing crashed, so the problem has bee isolated to be with the AMD rx 480 graphics card. I can't figure out if it this is driver issues or what, or just a bad graphics card.

still haven't answered guys? come on. I've further whittled down the problem to.. (drum-roll) Steam being installed on my computer! I can run PCSX2 perfectly fine (Kingdom Hearts, Shadow of the Colossus, Dark Cloud 2), and I have Mirror's Edge on disc, which I installed, ran, expereienced no crashes. Had to download some DirectX and C++ redistros, but those have yet to cause an issue, so I think we can rule these out.
Furthermore, the FurMark benchmark runs just fine without Steam installed, 4xMSAA @ 27" screen resolution w/o crashing.
I am seriously scratching my head on this one now.. Anybody got the secret soluzion?
