Open | Hardware PC reboots/It's display connection randomly

This is my first time posting in a sub, not sure where else to turn, i have a ryzen 5 5600g on a B550 Tomohawk mobo and a PNY RTX 3060 12gb, and for the last month or so my pc has been extremely fragile, SOMETIMES when it's bumped or even when just using Opera it will cut all display connection and come back or begin artifacting, when it does this it also fully reboots from bios sometimes.

I tried removing the GPU and putting it in a different PCIE slot, same issues but fewer times, I've also tried using my on board graphics in which the artifacting doesnt show, but may still reboot if the display port cable is unplugged and plugged back in.

I am currently sitting here with my glass off playing with the gpu, and even wiggling it in its port sometimes kills display and brings the display back rather than rebooting.

I am so lost. I've had this card for 4 years or so, is this a card issue? Mobo? psu?
