Taking into account the amount of work put into this problem already that there is a chance it could be the PSU, Furmark tends to draw a fair bit more power than gaming and looking at old reviews for the 380X they can take near 300w in Furmark, on a TPU review it showed 227w max in gaming .............. @Cuz29 ............. have you tried a game rather than Furmark to test stability?
ive tried on apex legends...

I would say idle temperature is a little high.
  1. Download vbios from https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/179471/179471
  2. Rename file 179471.rom to R9380X_4.rom
  3. Move or copy R9380X_4.rom to c:\atiflash_293
  4. Open cmd line as administrator and execute the following commands:
  5. cd c:\atiflash_293
  6. amdvbflash.exe -unlockrom 0
  7. amdvbflash.exe -f -p 0 R9380X_4.rom
  8. Reboot system
  9. Run DDU
  10. Install latest driver
installing the driver now

The GPU-Z screenshot makes it look like the card is working from a software perspective. Have you tried power limiting and/or undervolting the card before running furmark?
one moment before i start flashing i can run furmark with power limiting

I would say idle temperature is a little high.

Does the fan spin up? What happens if you put the gpu fan on 100% before starting furmark? Does it take more time before it crashes?

today in the morning furmark run properly
Shutdown your pc and try it again after some hours. I think it will run fine first when the system is cooled off. Could be vrm degradation or heat causing this.

I think your GPU is busted.

Before buying a new PSU. Tell us more about your system? Do you have upgrade plans?

Maybe it is also wise to consider the GTX 1060 or RX 570/580?

what do you recommend for my system?
RX 580. GTX 1060 only has either 3 or 6GB of video memory which is less than the RX 580

can faulty drivers shut down the system to?
Reboots or system hang. If it is a real driver issue, AMD would have removed the driver from their site and more people would have complained.
It likely the VRM of the graphics card which is dying.

No, I didn't mean VRAM. I said Voltage Regulator Module.
Both parts (VRM and VRAM) can be replaced by an electronics engineer but it expensive. Replacing the whole card is cheaper.
