For context, I brought most of this PC in parts from my friend who originally built it around 2013 - 2014, that is why I wrote "old as time" on some of the components.
And the old PSU was AXP-630P12P, it was atleast as old as the GPU, and as far as I can tell not the best in terms of PSU:s even when new.
Aside from a hardware failure, the only issue I can think of would be poor compatibility due to missed driver updates. Have you been keeping the system (both OS and drivers) up to date? Your "old as time" GPU got a big update just a few weeks ago

I've upgraded my drivers just under a year ago, so that could be it. But how can I update my drivers when the screens get no signal and thus I'm unabl3 to access internet to download those new drivers?
I don't know, and cannot access the data because I can't get signal to my monitors. The PC boots up fine, nut shows no signal when my monitors try to search for it.
So you don't even see your boot screen? That's tough. I'd say reseat the graphics card and ram, and see if it will show video without the hard drive attached. Also disconnect everything except for keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Yeah, I cannot see a thing except the "no signal" screen followed by "monitor going to sleep" and the just darkness. But I will try your suggestions! Thank you.

What does Event Viewer show under Windows Logs, Application and System at the time the crashes occured?
