PC often stops during gaming, though not always. Temperatures look normal when it crashes. Graphics drivers were updated recently, and overclocking was done before. Settings are now back to defaults. In Event Viewer I found an entry: the system restarted without a clean shutdown. This issue might stem from the system failing to respond, crashing, or losing power suddenly. Keywords 0x8000400000000002. Let me know if you need more help. Update: I noticed earlier I struggled with downloading Apex Legends, repeatedly seeing messages about insufficient space even though storage reported otherwise. I stopped and restarted the update several times. Not sure how this connects.

You can check if it still works without purchasing a replacement.

Symptoms often point to a bad PSU. However, the cause could differ. If your PSU is more than three years old, it may be responsible.
