    Haha no worries I totally didn’t see what community this was in either so doubt the DDU process will be helpful. You could try another distro loaded onto a USB or even load windows to a USB and see if it’s still crashing on a different OS.

    Are you able to load something like hwinfo to see what your idle temperatures are at? It’s possible that there isn’t good contact with the heat sink and gpu die that’s causing the crash. Should be somewhere between 30c and 50c idle depending on your ambient temperature.

    Was the video card working well (i.e. was video encoding/decoding fine or whatever you used it for) before the switch?

    Do games actually launch and run well? You could try using something like DDU (display driver uninstaller) with reboots in between uninstalls and driver reinstall. If that doesn’t resolve it you can download something like MSI After Burner and manually set your fan curves so that it doesn’t ramp up as high when playing games. If the card will launch and play games as expected the card is probably fine.
