Only power supplies in certain serial number ranges are experiencing failures. I remain unaffected.

Only PSUs in certain serial number ranges are failing. I’m not impacted by that.
I plan to switch to a new PSU soon, so there’s no need to test it.

Integrated GPU removal eliminated crashes. Although the system wasn't under as much stress as before (based on CPU temperatures), it remained stable for two hours on a game that previously crashed after five minutes, using the same graphics settings.

This situation means one of two things:
1. The PSU cannot handle a heavier load while the dedicated GPU is running during gaming.
2. The GPU (such as the RTX 4070) itself has stability problems while gaming.

Keep in mind that GPU instability can also stem from the PSU.

To eliminate the possibility of a GPU issue, you should use a second, reliable dedicated GPU with similar TDP, ensuring the same load is applied to the PSU.

If even with a second compatible GPU (same TDP) the system still crashes, then the problem lies with the PSU.

Testing with a second, high-quality PSU and the RTX 4070 can help determine if the issue is related to the power supply or the graphics card itself.

I purchased a 5060ti and an ADATA XPG CORE REACTOR II VE(A tier PSU). Neither changed anything.
