PSU/RISER PROBLEM LIKELY--

I agree with Klassje.  It is likely that a riser is bad.  Old, skinny-version risers get really hot and sometimes melt with dual-mining, and even new risers go bad.  It is interesting to note that if the problem occurs, the "511C" figure is common.  I have had the same readout; the card was good but the riser was bad.
I would stop the rig and change risers before mining again.      --scryptr

And which risers are better to take?
I have a 6 version with a black wire....like these ones: https://ru.aliexpress.com/store/product/Black-0-6M-PCI-Express-PCI-E-1X-to-16X-Riser-Card-Adapter-PCIE-Extender-with/1826735_32789606816.html?spm=a2g0v.12010608.0.0.81bf1c12u9nXF


RISERS ARE EVIL CREATURES--

Your riser looks ok, but there are many variations that look the same.  I use a riser that is v006c or v007, depending on the manufacturer or the distributor.  It has a PCIe electrical connector rather than a molex.  I started changing out all my old, skinny risers when I noticed the thin power connectors melting.

I cannot give much advice for which riser, but switching out a riser will often solve the problem.  The PCIe connector is more sturdy, thicker, and less subject to heat damage than a thin molex, once standard for floppy drives. The larger molex on your riser is often difficult to connect because the pins push out-of-position.
 
Keep spare risers handy, find a good source.  I am in the USA and shop Amazon.  MintCell is an Amazon retailer that has good risers, but even new ones fail.

Good Luck!       --scryptr
