Heya,
Normally a GPU will enter a recovery/low power mode if there is a driver or OC issue.
Given that the system locks up is odd.
If you follow the event viewer section of this post; https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/No-error-code-Read-here-for-extended-diagnositics-support...
I can get some info on what is causing the issue

I forgot to actually tell I bought a new one, it had issues with one fanblade being broken and being really loud. I am not sure how that could have affecte the GPU performance, since it wasn't overheating at all, however buying a new GPU did fix the issue.

It maybe a driver refresh that also helped. :P
