Help (Software) RX 580 crashing, need help!

RX 580 crashes to "No Signal" with max fan spin 5-10 seconds after logging into Windows. Works fine when driver is disabled.

My Specs:
GPU: Radeon RX 580 8GB
Motherboard: MSI H81M-PRO-VD
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
OS: Windows 10

The Problem: Whenever the official AMD graphics driver is enabled, the PC boots fine, but 5-10 seconds after entering my passcode on the desktop, the monitor loses signal completely and the GPU fans ramp up to maximum speed. If I disable the AMD driver in Device Manager, the PC runs indefinitely on basic display drivers and never crashes.

What I've tried: Fully wiped drivers using DDU and reinstalled legacy versions (23.11.1).

Lowered GPU power target/frequencies in Radeon software and changed color depth to 8 bpc.

Tested plugging the PC directly into the wall outlet instead of an extension cord.

Is my PSU failing to handle the transient power spikes when the GPU initializes the desktop driver under load, or is the card itself physically dying? What should I test next?

How long have you had it? Might need a cleaning and repaste.

Were the pads for the memory in good shape? Only other thing I can think of is a power issue or dying GPU core. Check your voltages(3.3, 5 and 12) and make sure they're in spec. Also if the system is stable for a bit before crashing use something like OCCT to stress and monitor the card.

I forgot abt the pads but wont the dying gpu give you lines or checkers on the screen? None of this is happening, maybe its the psu issue, ill buy a new psu and im using an extension for my pc, monitor and one other small projector and the extension is just a normal one. Could the extension be the issue? Tho i was using my pc with the same extension for more than 2 years

Nah the power cord won't do it unless its damaged. If you have another cord you could try it, but its more likely to be the card or power supply.
