PC occasionally shuts down unexpectedly
PC occasionally shuts down unexpectedly
For relevance, please mention the BIOS version. There are many discussions where people claim the latest updates but later find pending ones.
I purchased a new PSU on Friday, making it two days old. The case is Corsair 4000D Airflow and the CPU isn't even hitting 65°C, thanks to the master cooler 212. The ASROCK b650 hdv/m.2 BIOS version 3.30 is installed, along with the 7800 XT driver at version 25.6.3. The RAM is a GSKILL Flare x5 CL32.
Yesterday I took a day off and spent the whole time playing games using the same character. Everything worked perfectly—no crashes, not even a single issue. Even the alt tab spam in CS2 that tried to force a restart didn’t work. Still, I’m not sure what happened.
PC Specs are:
ASROCK B650 hdv/m.2
Ryzen 5 7600
G.skill Flare X5 32GB 6000MT/S
AMD RX 7800 XT PowerColor
BeQuiet! Power Zone 2 850W Platinum
Crucial P3 2tb m.2
For the past month or two, maybe even longer but i can't really remember when the problem started, i have been getting random PC reboots. I could go days and weeks without any issues then the PC would just freeze for 2 seconds then reboot. It happened mostly in a specific game, Counter Strike 2 and i noticed it happened few times when i alt-tabbed during loading in-game. I came across a lot of posts about the game being broken with the alt-tab but then it rebooted even when the game was running in the background for 15minutes and me just scrolling trough twitter. Only my GPU is overclocked, and i heavily tested it in multiple games( in benchmark/stress tests too) i play like RDR2, GoW Ragnarok, SPiderman 2, cyberpunk without any issues . Even CS2 i could play for days without issues, once i played over 10 matches without any issues in a single day, the problem looked like an unstable OC/UV even more when every time the pc reboots my OC profile resets in Adrenaline software. But im not really sure this is the problem. I had issues with my PSU in the meantime, the fan bearing was making loud noises, i tought then maybe the PSU overheats because the fan is not spinning correctly. The problem persisted even after getting a new PSU. The previous PSU was Seasonic Focus GX850, the Bequiet is the new one. I made a few posts on other forums/websites to try fix this but no help so far. I ran memtest86 and it had 4 passes with 0 errors. App called WhoCrashed shows no dump files even when windows is set to make them. Event viewer shows only generic ID 41, and in "Application" bunch of these but no criticals or errors

, in those dump files nothing useful, only smth about amdfendr.sys . Im typing this after i got a new crash, everything the same as before but now when the screen froze the sound that was playing trough the headset distorted and started buzzing for a second or two. I updated my BIOS to the latest 3.30, updated gpu drivers multiple times, windows also updated multiple times during these few months. What came to my mind after hearing this buzz from the crash is could the system crash from audio drivers? I had a usb logitech headset for a long time before i switched it and i cant really remember any of this happening with that headset. New hyperx headset connects via 3.5mm jack directly to mobo. While typing this i also did more research and came across a post about hardware acceleration in chrome causing pc crashes, im really grasping at straws here. I really think this is something software related. What can i do to narrow down what causes this?
