I think I fixed it guys, I swapped the motherboard and haven't had any issues since.
Which motherboard are you using now.

At least you now have something more to go on.
With what you have noted I'm not sure how GPU-Z seems fine.
Why don't you have the Afterburner graphs open BUT also have GPU-Z open and displaying the sensors page, to see the red coloured graphs, and then use GPU-Z to run the render test.
That way you can monitor in the same Window the Information provided by GPU-Z and at the same time see the constant, rather than the stepping peak and troughs of the Firestorm benchmark, Power % graph and the red graphs displayed by GPU-Z.
These are roughly done, but you get the idea.....

just keep the test running as you would have done the other and monitor and graph that type of issue you described.
You can extend by dragging the GPU-Z graphs to be more readable.
NOTE. ..
Not shown on the above but you can add the VDDC current and the 12v to the GPU-Z graph which could be useful in your case.
Changed the Gigabyte one for an ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming K6, works great.Which motherboard are you using now.

So I ran
I done this last night and didn’t get anywhere with the GPUZ render test as it didn’t pull the Power% above 65% anyway. So I had both GPUZ and Afterburner running whilst I performed some stress tests. I was running Time Spy Extreme stress test and it crashed to desktop. There was a drop in the Power% in Afterburner like before, never to rise above 50% again. But also in GPUZ it came up with a power error when it crashed.
Is it possible for the VRMs to be overheating?
overheating vrms on the gpu perhaps? just spitballing here.
