I should preface this thread by saying that this is my first post on here, but I have read numerous other troubleshooting threads (unrelated to this problem) on TPU.
A few weeks ago I noticed that my sim racing PC started crashing semi-randomly in the middle of when I was playing EA Sports WRC, BeamNG.drive, and occasionally DiRT Rally 2.0. The first two games will run for about 5-10 minutes normally before hanging and crashing. WRC doesn't give me an error code but BeamNG gives me either a generic error code or a memory access violation. The last game, however, will typically run much longer before it will crash. I was also playing Portal 2's co-op splitscreen with a friend and that crashed twice in the roughly two hours we were playing it. Sometimes the PC will crash so hard it will reboot, but once when I was playing WRC in VR it froze for a few seconds and recovered like nothing had happened. The weirdest thing about this problem is that some games will work completely fine; Assetto Corsa and Forza Horizon 5 run flawlessly. I was able to race for 20 minutes in AC and over 30 minutes in Forza Horizon 5. Not only that, I can run Unigine Valley and MSI Kombustor for ages; they work fine. All of OCCT's tests passed too, including the power test. I can also run Cinebench R23 for 30+ minutes without crashing (the CPU reaches 81 ℃ but the 5800x does that regardless). All of the system temps look OK (don't remember off the top of my head what they were exactly but they were well under 80 ℃). I should also note that I tried putting two different GPUs in this PC: a Dell OEM GTX 745 and a MSI ARMOR GTX 1070; both cards ran without issue.

I have tried:
- running DDU and reinstalling the newest drivers from AMD
- reverting back to older drivers
- disabling AMD Smart Access Memory
- reducing the GPU's power limit
- swapping the RAM sticks' sockets (moving one stick to the other's slot and vice versa)
- running MemTest86 (passed)
- switching the BIOS on the GPU
- reinstalling Windows
- putting the GPU into another PC (don't have an adequate PC to put it into)
- changing RAM set
- reseating CPU
- changing PSU
