Hey Guys, I've been a bit quiet since posting, but I just upgraded my system and it's been acting up with some strange crashes. A video is attached from imgur. So far, it only happens when I play Overwatch, but the whole computer freezes for a few seconds before shutting down completely. I've reinstalled Windows, run memory tests, and done a CPU stress test, but nothing's been found. My old setup was a Ryzen 5 3600 XT with B550 Extreme4, now I have these new specs:

CPU: Intel core i5-12600kf
RAM: 2x8gb OLOy owl RGB
Motherboard: ASRock Z690 Steel Legend
GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3
PSU: Phanteks AMP 650w

It seems my power supply might be too weak now. Any troubleshooting tips would be great! Thanks.

But I just upgraded my system. What changes were made? We'll need to check if the OS was reinstalled after swapping the motherboard. If not, you should do that first—plus manually install all necessary drivers in an elevated command.

Moved from a B550 Extreme4 equipped with a Ryzen 3600 XT to a Z690 Steel Legend featuring an 12600kf. No other components were upgraded besides the CPU and motherboard.
I reinstalled Windows after the upgrade, along with the necessary drivers.

Your power supply is a bit underpowered for your latest specifications.

It seems like a power problem might be the cause. You performed a CPU stress test but not a GPU stress test, correct? Try running a GPU stress test to see if the same issue appears. If it does, examine your GPU temperatures, especially the GPU's. If the temperatures are normal, the PSU is likely the source of the problem.
