MSI B550 A-PRO Motherboard

Corsair TX650M power supply unit

The desktop tends to restart unexpectedly. I’ve examined the Event Viewer, and each time it logs one error followed by another critical event. The critical event always appears first.
This pattern started after a kernel power failure (Event ID 41, Task Category 63).
The system restarted without a full shutdown. This issue might stem from the system becoming unresponsive, crashing, or losing power suddenly.
Immediately afterward, a WHEA-Logger entry appears (Event ID 18, Tast Category: None), indicating a fatal hardware fault.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor APIC ID: 8

These reboots mostly happen when I’m idle (such as browsing or listening to music), though they also occurred occasionally during gaming. They seem less frequent when the power plan is set to Power Saver compared to Balanced or AMD Ryzen Balanced. The screen shuts down abruptly, turning completely black, while audio plays for a brief moment before stopping.
The PSU is a new replacement for my previous one. I installed it to try fixing the problem, but it didn’t help. The PSU is about ten months old, maybe a little older. Regarding the CMOS, I’m not sure what you’re asking. I’m not very experienced, so your help would be really appreciated. The BIOS I have is now updated to MSI's 7C56vAE.
