Earlier this year I upgraded my graphics card from an MSI RTX 2070 Tri Frozr to the model I own now—a Gigabyte RTX 3070 Eagle OC. The initial speed improvement was impressive and I enjoyed it. After a few weeks, I decided to upgrade the remaining parts as well. Following that change, most of the games I play consistently crash, even though there seems to be no clear cause. I’ve turned on Windows, updated my BIOS, but the issues persist. The only active processes besides Steam and whatever game I’m trying are Discord and Ghub. I have no clue what’s triggering these crashes or how to resolve them. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

System Specifications
OS: Windows 10 Home Version 22H2
CPU: Intel 12th Gen 12900K
RAM: G. Skill TridentZ RGB 5 (32GB, 2x16GB @6000MHz)
GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus
Cooler: Lian Li Galahad AIO RGB
Storage: I own a few drives—Samsung SSD 86O EVO 500GB, Seagate Firecuda 2TB, Western Digital Black 8TB, and a M.2 SN850 Crucial P5 1TB.
Bios: Corsair RM850x 80+ Gold
Power Supply: Corsair RM850x 80+ Gold

I believe this covers the essential details of my setup. If you missed anything, please let me know so I can add it. I’ve also attached a link to my UserBenchmark results in case they help with troubleshooting.

Sorry for the delayed response, things got really busy and I was on vacation with my family before coming back yesterday. I've tried removing and reinstalling games, disabling antivirus, checking file integrity, but nothing seems to help. All drivers are up-to-date, no other programs running, no internet open, yet games keep crashing without any clear reason. I'm really unsure what to do next to get my PC back in good working condition.
