PC shuts down without displaying a blue screen of death.
the issue began a few weeks back and initially I believed it was related to the RAM, so I replaced it, but it didn’t really help—maybe it even got worse.
i searched online for fixes but my CPU isn’t overheating; it stays around 40°C during idle, usually between 60-70 when gaming.
the GPU is fine too—I swapped it with a cousin’s and he had no issues, while mine still crashes often during gameplay, though it also happens when I browse or stream.
could this be connected to the power supply unit or the processor?
my configuration is: CPU Ryzen 5 3600, board MSI A520 pro, RAM 32 GB by Patriot, PSU 600DE deepcool, GPU MSI GTX 1660 Super.
PSU:600DE deepcool
How much time has passed since the PSU was installed in your build?
BOARD:MSI A520 pro
Is this your motherboard?

If yes, which BIOS version are you running for your motherboard?
RAM: 32 gigs of RAM by Patriot
Do you have a link to your RAM configuration?
powersupply is quite old, about four-fifths of a year.
that's my motherboard, and I believe the default BIOS was installed (version E7C96AMS, build 8/11/2022).
i also forgot to mention that the board was recently purchased.
my RAM is this one, but it's the 32(16x2) type.

i ran a Windows diagnostic just now and didn’t find any issues with the RAM.
also, I performed a Geek3D stress test on the GPU.
I attempted it earlier today after a fresh installation of the OS, but the issue reappeared immediately after completing the driver updates.
how probable is it, sir? I really can't try it out because I don't have a spare PSU, but so far it seems okay. Ram looks fine based on memory diagnostics, the motherboard was recently purchased, and the GPU passed the stress test. The only parts I haven't tested yet are the CPU and PSU since I don't have a way to check them.
