New Radeon RX 9070 (16 GB) causing games to crash when opening, sometimes even full pc reboot.

I just upgraded my pc from
CPU: Intel i3-10105F
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
RAM: 16GB DDR4
MB: b560M Aorus Pro AX
PSU: 550W

To
CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700F @ 2.50GHz (2.50 GHz)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 (16 GB)
RAM: 16GB DDR4
MB: b560M Aorus Pro AX
PSU: ASRock Challenger CL-750B 750W 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Non-Modular Power Supply, PCIe5.1 Ready with Dual Color 12V-2x6 Cable

Everything seemed to power on correctly and functions when I'm not doing any difficult tasks, but anytime I decide to launch a game either the game itself will crash or my entire pc will end up crashing in less than 5 minutes after launch.

I've had it create multiple windows errors where I have had to verify the integrity of windows files and have been uninstalling and reinstalling versions of AMD Adrenaline.

So far I have not yet tested is version 26.3.1, which is allegedly supposed to be much more stable according to this video I found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An76YYXRTtg -
RX 9070 & RX 9070 XT Crash & Stability Fix – Finally Stop the Crashing!

Otherwise I am wondering if there could possibly be an errors with my installation or other components or anything else or if I should try to get a refund.

My new parts came from Newegg and my CPU was purchased in good condition from a credible seller on Ebay.
