PC crashes: after 2-3 minutes during gaming (no issues with browsing), occasionally after turning on PC due to possible SATA cable problem. Temporary solution was reinstalling BIOS, but the issue reappears if BIOS isn't reinstalled after 2-3 restarts.
remove the cmos battery (the small circular battery is often hidden by the gpu) and wait 3-5 minutes or refresh the bios if needed
