CPU is an Intel® Core™ i9-10850K at 3.60GHz, 3.60 GHz.
GPU is 3080.
MOBO is z490 master.
RAM is 32gb DDR4 Trident Z (2x 3200mhz, 2x 4000mhz).
PSU is EVGA 1000W G2 with 80+ gold.
From what I understand, this isn't a temperature problem; the CPU stays below 90% during maximum load and there are no BSOD errors. I don’t know where to locate the issue.

RAM: 32gb ddr4 trident z (2x 3200mhz 2x 4000mhz)
Consider swapping one RAM kit instead of mixing them up to check if the problem gets fixed.
MOBO: z490 master
Regarding your motherboard, which BIOS version are you running?
PSU: EVGA 1000W G2 80+ gold
How much older is your PSU in this setup?
I believe the issue isn't temporary; CPU temperatures stay below 90 on full load.
What cooling solution are you using for the processor?
A PC may shut down due to either overheating or insufficient power from the PSU.
You might want to get a more powerful, stable PSU from someone you know to test. EVGA often has inconsistent high-end models, and the RTX 3000 series could be contributing to early PSU wear under heavy loads.

Tried with less ram still occurs under heavy load, latest bios version is December 10th 2023
Psu is just 4 years old but I might consider warranty replacement if that's the problem.
Using deepcool 360mm with 3x phanteks t30s on push-pull setup with deep cool fans and thermal grizzly on cpu.

Did you experiment with a different PSU during the past five months? As @Lutfij mentions, the PSU could be the reason for mysterious shutdowns, no matter how old it is. If you've been waiting five months for an answer, maybe the issue isn't that serious or you're using a backup PC. If you return the PSU and they don’t discover anything, they might just send you the same unit a few weeks later. It’s faster to ask for or borrow another high-end PSU from someone else, or take the machine to a repair shop. Have you used XMP disabled? That reduces strain on the RAM and IMC. Were the two DIMMs you tested in sockets A2 and B2? Did you try the other pair? Have you performed a full MemTest86 on each DIMM one by one, with XMP enabled and then another full pass without XMP (assuming the system didn’t crash)? Any errors would point to a RAM issue. When you refer to “massive” load, does it mean every available MB of RAM was tested under stress, or was the CPU under heavy demand and not much RAM being used?
