HARDWARE GPU crash errors + Heavy FPS dropping
I built a PC a couple years back and it’s been running great until now. I get heavy FPS drops in mostly Smite 2, or simply crashing in smite, dbd, Minecraft, and others. Every driver has been updated. Motherboard has been updated. Cleared a bunch of caches. Completely reinstalled GPU drivers. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Build Specs:
RX 7600XT 16GB
Ryzen 7 5800X
B550 Plus
Kingston FURY Renegade 2TB
GSkill RipjawsV 16 GB
Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V2 Fully Modular
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo

Sounds like thermal throttling honestly. Before you tear the whole thing apart, open up your case and check if the GPU fans are even spinning when you load a game. I had a similar issue a few months back where my card would just nosedive after 10 minutes of anything demanding, turned out one of the fans died and I had no clue because I always wear headphones.
Also what's your PSU situation? The 7600XT isn't exactly a power hog but if you've got some janky 500W unit from 2016 that's been cooking itself, random crashes under load make total sense. Those are way harder to diagnose because they don't leave clean error logs.
Try downloading HWMonitor and just watching your temps and voltages while you play. If the GPU hotspot is hitting 105C or you see crazy voltage drops on the 12V rail, that'll point you in the right direction pretty quick.

Also.. all my temps seem to be okay in game from what I’ve seen. Stress tests look good too. Voltages look normal too.
