I've been working on this problem for the past couple of days and need your assistance. The computer shuts down completely during certain games and under stress conditions. It runs stress tests for CPU, GPU, and power usage, but it powers off intermittently—only resuming when I press the case power button.

Here’s a detailed rundown of the setup:
Processors: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
Cooler: Noctua NH-U9s Mobo
Motherboard: AsRock B450M/AC Micro ATX
RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 (2x16GB modules)
Display: RTX 3060 Ti 8GB, Power supply: Corsair RM750e 750W (80+ Gold ATX)
Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 250GB SSD / M.2 2280
Drives: Corsair Crystal 280X Micro ATX (4x AF140 fans + small rear exhaust fan)
Monitors: One 1440p Gigabyte and one 1080p Asus monitor, both with display ports
Peripherals: Corsair wireless Harpoon mouse, Logitech G-pro wired keyboard, Focusrite Audio Interface

About six months ago, I was playing Monster Hunter World with a friend. After 80+ hours of playtime on the same rig, the game started working fine. But now, during stress tests—especially for CPU, GPU, and power—I frequently see the PC shut down unexpectedly. It doesn’t restart unless I press the case power button.

I’ve tried all the fixes for the game and haven’t found a solution. Recently, when playing Kenshi, the same issue occurred: the PC would shut down after a short period, even though it worked perfectly before. I’ve checked temperatures, updated BIOS/Drivers, reset everything, swapped RAM, and even replaced the motherboard (though it’s on its way). No other problems have arisen during gaming or under load.

Currently, the PC behaves normally at full load, but under stress tests it still powers off intermittently. I’m hoping the problem lies with the power supply unit or the VRM, possibly due to wear over time. I’m open to suggestions and would appreciate any insights or additional steps you recommend. If possible, a video of the shutdown moments would be helpful.

Thanks for your help!
