No it still does it going 7th day atm no crash changed nothing sorta accepted it now put to much effort into this a quick restart and move on in my life maybe I have dodgy house wiring ha
What Windows version and is it fully updated?
AMD chipset driver updated?
Motherboard (MSI) bios updated to latest stable version?

I would set both screens to 60hz and see if the driver timeouts stops, If you get no joy roll back the display driver to 23.1.1 and re-test at 144/60hz and then 60/60hz, regarding your screens especially the 60hz one, does it have a hdmi port and have you tried this instead of dp?
its really important to keep chipset drivers and windows fully upto date, but if you encounter problems its ok to roll back gpu drivers to a point to see if crashing or such behaviour stops.

Ok...
Black screen as soon as there's a heavy directx overlay use (GPU being used for 3D) with sound still running... that one's absolutely putting the PSU in some doubt.
Do you have ANYONE (friend/etc) willing help/lend you a PSU?
I had:
Seasonic X-Series 1250W running a 2080ti. Absolutely fine.
Updated to the 6800xt: EXACTLY the symptoms you're seeing.
Tried all sorts, changed absolutely everything.
Had a mate lend me a PSU. Hotwired it (I think pin 8 and any ground pin, google) so the switch on the rear turned it on/off.
Had it run JUST the new GPU, rest of my build running as it always had.... suddenly zero issues.
I THINK you mentioned somewhere running separate PCIe cables from PSU to graphics card? (If not, do that so not 1x PCIe to 2x 6/8 pin. Run a completely separate cable from PSU to graphics for each PCIe plug). With the age of the PSU though, despite it being perfectly decent... there's been a definite uptick in current draw from the 3080/6800 generation onwards.
TOTALLY check it with a mates PSU if you haven't yet.

This was a common issue with Seasonic PSUs of a certain vintage (though it did apply to other PSUs too) and some EVGA PSUs were built by Seasonic, so would be interesting to know which exact model the OP has.
Edit: the OP said G2.
Review on TPU, hmm.

Aye, the superflower built were common for a time. As good as anything seasonic were putting out (at the time) for a good chunk less cash.
It's only a suspicion at this point but I was ages troubleshooting mine (cos it OBVIOUSLY couldn't be the PSU with that kinda power/pedigree, right?!
)
