I've faced unexpected shutdowns in games. Occasionally they don't occur at all; I can play for up to six hours without problems, but sometimes the games end after just ten minutes or less. No warnings appear, nothing happens. The motherboard has been behaving oddly. Initially, I suspected a RAM problem because Windows memory diagnostics flagged some issues, but after disabling XMP it seemed resolved. Occasionally I encounter error sounds when powering on the PC—one long beep followed by two short ones indicating a graphics card fault. When these appear, the VGA diode lights up until I restart. Crashes have happened on Windows 10; I switched to Windows 11 but the problem persisted. I ran Furmark for an hour with no issues, and the GPU maintained around 63°C maximum. After running AIDA64 it quickly identifies hardware failure during cache and memory tests, all drivers are up to date. BIOS: F3c w11 home 64bit be quiet! Running Power 11 750W platinum specs. Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX R5 7600x ADATA XPG Lancer RGB, DDR5, 32 GB CL38 RTX 3070 Gaming OC 8GB from Gigabyte

You're experiencing the same issue with the 7600X despite replacing components multiple times. It seems the problem might be elsewhere. Could you share which games are causing the issues?

I experienced crashes mainly in tougher games like Cyberpunk God of War 4 and other triple A titles, but not in League or Valorant.

I wouldn't depend on XMP if your RAM is broken or anything like that.
