I have a pre build from ocuk that is just shy of 2 years old; it has been bullet proof since I bought it until the last few months. The majority of my games have been crashing with errors relating to "amd wattman / amd drivers have detected a time out". So I rebuild windows, updated everything drivers etc and I am still facing this issue.
Now given the cost of graphics cards, I don't want to buy one to find out some other part of the machine is bust, are there any tools I can use to stress test cpu/memory/graphics to see where the fault is coming from or any logs ?

Windows Event viewer - Display driver amdwddmg stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

Games - Warzone / Pubg / Battlefield V (This has never crashed, not once) / Total War / star citizen

Code: 
CA-04L-KK Kolink Void RGB Midi Tower Case - Black Window 1
CA-07M-PT Phanteks Digital RGB LED Strip - Combo Set 1
CP-3BH-AM AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - MPK 1
GX-19D-PC Powercolor Radeon RX 5700 XT Red Dragon 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card 1
HD-00D-TG TeamGroup 500GB Vulcan SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 3D NAND Solid State Drive 1
HD-384-SE Seagate BarraCuda 1TB 7200RPM SATA 64MB Cache Hard Drive - *System Stock* 1
MB-574-GI Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard 1
MY-0AA-TG Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey 1
XX-004-KK *Build Stock* Kolink Classic Power 700W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply

I should also say I can put hours into other games stellaris / CS GO / Hell let loose, as Bfv these have never crashed not once. Pubg I can pretty much guarantee it will bomb out with any graphics setting.
Final edit, everything is default, nothing is clocked, no profiles are used on the graphics card.

Thanks!
 
I have ran "Ocbase" for an 1hr per cpu / ram / gpu and the machine is still up no changes.

Played Pubg crashed within 15 min; I have gone back to windows "whql" driver rather than the one from amd and it seems to lastest a match, ideas ?
I am not using any of the features in the amd drivers?

The psu in your system is garbage it could well be the cause of your problems.
 
I second what mickyflinn said. It's probably the PSU.
A bad PSU will cause system crashes with the GPU showing up as the primary suspect in most cases.

Test out your pc if possible with a different PSU.
 
Thanks ! If I buy a new psu do I need to change the cables or just swap it over ?

Also what’s the go to psu ?

Yes change the cables also or you will see sparks and fry your pc.

Corsair rm, phanteks amp, superflower, seasonic are solid units, you want gold rated with 10 year warranty.
