My pc builds just break?

Hey everyone, im fairly new to pc building, I wouldnt call myself a expert but with some time and elbow grease I can build a pc. My current pc is running a 7800 xt, 7900x3d, Thermalright 120 se, msi mag b650 tomahawk wifi, and gskill 2x16 sticks of ddr5 ram (bought before ram explosion). For whatever reason turning on EXPO makes my bios artifact, pictures will be included in comments because I can't add a photo and video; Also when I play games or idle on windows or even load something up, I often get a driver failure with Amd's bug report tool saying my display drivers fail, and when I play a game and watch YouTube on the same screen simultaneously, for whatever reason my game goes into the media player window and artifacts my screen. So that's my pc yes, but recently I built my girlfriend a pc with a 6700 xt, ryzen 5 7600 x, 1x16 ddr5 ram, b650m pro rs, and a 750 watt psu (i forgot the brand) and she also experiences very few amd bug reports saying her drivers fail. Not only that, we both get issues where pixels on our screens in a square pattern, we get very small artifacts.

Previously, my MSI mag a750 gl psu, I had to RMA it because it completely stopped working, and since my pc would have frequent turn offs without any warning in the same session, but after a while it stops? We know MSI's rma issues, so i guess that's one thing. Only thing that's constant is my game going into YouTubes media player and expo artifacting my bios, but I dont have it on anymore since I reset my cmos battery, and that's the only thing that fixed it.

Mainly, what this entire yapfest is about is how come only the pcs i build are like this? My girlfriend doesn't get the issues I have very frequently, especially the youtube or bios artifacting, but even on her screen though a discord screenshare I see it. Am I missing something important that I have to do due to AMD software? I have ran ddu and downloaded drivers multiple times, im not sure what to do anymore. Please help? I think I may need a new psu but im not sure.

Just picked up these parts, any feedback?

Just wondering what people thought of this build, went for aestehtics because most parts are white other than the gpu, and best price to performance. Ill give the prices under this body of text, currently eyeing this 1080p 240 hz, 23.4 inch monitor for 100 dollars. Gonna run some story games on semi high graphics, mainly fps games. Any thoughts? Most parts were bought from jawa, Ebay, and newegg. I think like 1 was from Amazon, so i did save a bit of money(i think) all usd prices

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X: 140.06

1x16GB DDR5 5600MHz Ram: 171.74

HUADISK 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe: 150.00

SAMA GT750WH White 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply: 67.00 (no joke lol)

Montech AIR 100 ARGB: 70

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE: 50.00

B650m PRO RS Motherboard: 119.06

ASRock Radeon RX 6700 XT Challenger D 12GB GDDR6: 281.45

I know I can squeeze out 1440p performance on medium graphics, but that 100 dollar 240 hz monitor is hard to pass up.
