A few weeks back I assembled a new computer, but since then I've experienced occasional crashes where my PC shuts down while playing games. These issues appear in cities skylines 2 (which runs smoothly otherwise) and Red Dead Redemption 2. My setup includes Fedora 38 MSI PRO B650-P WIFI - bios version 7D78v17, AMD Ryzen™ 5 7600X with Noctua NH-U12S cooler, 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair DDR5 Vengeance Black, PC5-41600 (5200), ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 DUAL OC V2 12G 650W Seasonic G12-GM-650 80PLUS Gold 2TB Intel SSD 670p Series, and the Nvidia driver from rpmfusion version 535.113.01. I've attempted to reproduce the crashes using phoronix-test-stuite's stress-run with different benchmarks, but without success. I also ran memtest and it produced no errors. I've checked Journalctl logs, but nothing stands out as the cause. Thank you for any advice anyone might have. I'm really frustrated right now. Sometimes I play for hours without issues, other times I lose seconds into the game and it crashes.
