Hello everyone, I’m about to discuss my issue in detail. Could you confirm if my explanation is clear enough?
I assembled my own gaming PC around 4 to 5 months ago. The process was challenging, but I’ve managed to run my games smoothly with minimal interruptions, except for rare crashes when I neglected to update my graphics drivers. Recently, after adjusting the case fans, I encountered problems where the system would crash and restart to the desktop without fully shutting down. It doesn’t completely freeze like before, but it randomly quits the game at times—sometimes during play and other times after a short session.

Initially, I suspected a driver or Windows update issue, double-checked both and reinstalled the graphics drivers. Then I verified that my GPU or RAM were correctly installed (after opening the case for fans), but that didn’t resolve the problem.

When playing games like World of Tanks, the crashes are abrupt, ending the application without warning. However, with Jedi: Fallen Order—known for its quick crashes—I receive diagnostic files from EA to submit. I’ve attached a link with screenshots and data from CrashReportClient, though I’m unsure if it will help.

Additionally, during a recent setup, I bumped the case against the wall slightly. This raised my concern that something might have shifted out of place, so I re-seated the RAM and GPU. I’m worried about potential damage to the CPU or motherboard and would like to test those components if necessary.

Please let me know your thoughts.
Thank you!

I don't really like your PSU. But with a 650W rating, you shouldn't be putting too much strain on it.
After experimenting inside the rig to fit more case fans, I realize you might have misconnected or left something loose.
Have you verified all electrical connections are still fully secure?
Did you move anything such as RAM, your CPU cooler, or your RX580? Are they still properly positioned?
Are the RX580 power cables still firmly attached?
Did you only connect the fans to the motherboard case or system fan headers?
Are they RGB and IOF compatible with your motherboard?

It reminds me I might have missed something. I’ll check again. I’ve connected two fans to the motherboard fan headers and two directly to the PSU. Would that affect it?

The devices connected to the PSU will operate at full capacity

I verified all the connections and they look good. Now I'm also experiencing screen flickering while loading a game, which seems to be caused by my GPU.
