Weird issue I can't pinpoint

So my RMA was approved, forgot these things come with a 10 year warranty lol, going to ship it out this week. Edit - Shipped it off tonight after work, they were kind enough to expedite it with free shipping, should have a new one hoping for the latest version early next week, my system has been rock solid for almost a week now, managed to figure out the pigtail bs so I have my 6800 XT back in with a -9 power limit and cruising at factory speeds granted I run 1080p/60 so with vsync I'm hitting about the same power draw that my 580 was hitting fully stressed out and barely hitting 40c lol.

Talk about getting kicked in the nuts, got my "refurbished" RM850x nice corsair I drop $200 to get a used but working one nice job. Second, two weeks of rock solid stability with my spare 500w was solid until I woke up this morning and found my system had restarted several times whea 41 again, ffs. PC wouldn't boot until I swapped in my RX 580 and no issues, got the new refurb in took a few reboots with my 6800 xt to post, great now maybe the issues was my GPU this whole time. I am done!
 
So weird thing, I've been putting my system to sleep to alleviate the issues. Was good until I woke from sleep, no picture. Restarted and my GPU drivers had basically un-installed themselves, Adrenaline was still installed but no drivers lol, I have disabled windows update from installing device drivers so it wasn't that. Odd as all hell, might try my 3rd RMA with PowerColor for my 6800 XT but I might not, still under warranty but when I am gaming 300+w it's rock solid, makes no damn sense lol. Might just deal with it and upgrade to AM5 in the fall if that even fixes it.

Edit - So decided to play around, disabled c-states and upped CPU voltage by .1v, been stable almost a week now lol.

Just noticed your motherboard, 2x settings helped my memory and CPU OC/UV testing, setting VCORE SOC to 1.130v (you would need to experiment for your 5600x) and VDDP to 1100 as auto was way under the supposed normal.
Just saw this a few days ago, don't know why I didn't before. I set SoC Voltage to 1.1 and VDDP to +~50mV (just shy of 1v (0.976v)), been solid for the last 4 days. Could it be bad voltages set by the motherboard? because at this point that's the only other option, tested my ram several times in each slot no issues, new CPU/PSU so what else? the Motherboard, and possibly the wrong voltage settings all along, going to monitor and slowly drop SoC voltage a bit and see what happens, but it seams VDDP voltage made the biggest impact, had SoC set to 1.050v and was still unstable so we shall see but it's looking up. Weird after almost 3 years instability pops up.
 
I would say it's just silicone, someone can correct me here if wrong, mine has always needed 1.1v on auto/stock and 1.13v when overclocked all cores. Regarding VDDP, yes, I think BIOS issue, this only started with a certain revision that also messed with other voltages (sorry, too long ago to remember specifically which one), I never had issues with it beforehand.

Yeah, it's weird, definitely think it's bios related as I had no issues for 3 years and I always update to the latest bios when available, so in hindsight maybe don't update your bios unless needed in the future lol. But going to keep and eye on voltages and see what happens.
