It seems you're encountering a common Windows issue where your PC shuts down unexpectedly. Trying basic, no-cost solutions first is a good approach. Updating the DDU GPU drivers and reinstalling them can help, along with checking your BIOS settings and other driver updates.
Absolutely, it’s clear there’s a significant problem. The logs show only one error, suggesting a major issue rather than minor warnings. Most likely, the problem stems from RAM or compatibility conflicts. Try using the default RAM speed without any overclocking or undervolting. Ensure your drivers and BIOS are current, then check if the crash occurs more quickly than usual—this could help narrow down the cause. Also, the PSU might be contributing, especially with certain motherboards like the EVGA 3080.
