I've just finished a new build. It functions well online, on movies, and YouTube. However, gaming causes frequent crashes back to my desktop. Sometimes it stops after minutes, other times up to an hour before it ends. I've updated drivers for my GPU and BIOS. My in-game temps are normal. In Hitman 2, my CPU hits 45°C and GPU reaches 65°C. The PSU seems to be the issue now. I own a Corsair CV550w bronze. Should I replace it immediately or try other tests first? Both my motherboard and GPU are used, with the motherboard purchased in October 2020 and the GPU a bit older. A seller told me not to overclock it, so that might be the reason.

I recently purchased my Windows key and installed it. I've looked on userbenchmark, and it indicates my motherboard isn't compatible with my RAM, which might explain the issue.
