Issues occurring after 15 minutes of gameplay
I recommend gathering as much detail about the crashes as you can. Is the system shutting down completely or just stopping the game? Appears a blue screen with an error code? Is it consistently triggered at the same moment? Keep an eye on GPU and CPU temperatures to exclude overheating or thermal shutdown. Open the Windows Event Viewer (press Windows key, type "event viewer") and check the "Windows Logs - System" section for any red or critical events matching your crash. Such messages can help identify the cause.
The PC doesn't crash only during games; no blue screen appears. In GTA, crashes happen within 5 seconds to a minute, which other games may take up to 10 minutes. Normal times are expected. For the event viewer, the PC is off due to lack of power—once it's back on, I'll follow up.
