Are you using power cable extensions (e.g. cablemod, etc)?
Those can affect the quality of power delivered to your GPU (perhaps because of the extra lenght?) and cause it to begin flashing red at times after running a demanding game. Once it starts flashing red it won't stop until you power off your system and disconnect it from the wall.
I know because at one point I was running my Strix 3090 OC with two direct cablemod PCI-E cables and one cablemod PCI-E extension connected to an original PSU cable. After playing a game like Doom Eternal for a while the connector with the extension cable (and only that one) would sometimes begin flashing red.
This said, I think the power sensors on the Strix cards might just be too sensitive - nothing bad ever happened (but then again, perhaps because only the connector with the extension cable had issues with power quality while the other two were always ok).
