Previously, this system operated without problems, and here’s a list of my hardware: CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K (not overclocked), GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (not overclocked), RAM: two 8GB sticks of G.Skill DDR3, Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97 HD3, Power Supply: modular EVGA 850 Platinum, SSD: Samsung 1TB 860 Evo, HDD: Blue Digital 1TB, Monitor: AOC C32G1 32-inch 144Hz 16:9 curved. However, recently, I've encountered crashes while playing demanding games. Strangely, monitoring system performance via Task Manager and checking component temperatures reveals that none of my parts reach nearly 100% utilization or exhibit elevated temperatures during these crashes. For instance, in *Resident Evil 2 Remake*, the CPU consistently peaked at 86% before the entire system unexpectedly rebooted. I’ve attempted the following troubleshooting steps: removing and reinstalling graphics card drivers, reinstalling Windows 10, and completely rebuilding the system after cleaning dust. I’m seeking assistance; I simply want to be able to play games without interruptions.

That shouldn't be a problem considering your wattage usage. If it’s not related to overheating or power constraints, I recommend reinstalling everything completely.

The electrical source appears to be robust, however, what is its age?

It’s been in my possession for approximately four and a half years.

That likely won't be a problem considering your wattage draw. If it’s not related to heat or power, I suggest reinstalling everything completely.
