I've experienced these issues sporadically, mostly after extended periods of PC operation and under heavy usage. Occasionally, they appear with just one game running alongside a browser with YouTube playing on a second monitor. The pattern has lasted at least six months now, fluctuating between daily and monthly occurrences. I haven't managed to reproduce them consistently, whether during gaming sessions or by simulating stress with parallel Furmark and Cinebench tests. The only times it seemed possible were during Minecraft gameplay with friends and hosting a server. When my PC crashed while hosting, restarting everything afterward sometimes triggered another crash. Despite numerous Windows and Nvidia updates, the problem remains unaffected.

Some details about my system: CPU – Intel 8700 (non-K), Mainboard – Gigabyte B360 HD3, BIOS – American Megatrands Inc., Version F2, 23.04.2018, Graphics Card – Nvidia RTX 2070 (non-super), RAM – 4 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB at 2666 MHz, Power supply – Corsair CX 750 M, Storage – 250 GB SSD (≈42 GB free) on boot, 1 TB hard drive (≈333 GB free), Game storage – two 1 TB NVMe SSDs (≈17 GB left on one, ≈25 GB on the other), installed after the issues started; I reset the GPU after an overclock attempt. I don’t think overclocking is advisable for this model. If anyone has insights or tests to try, please share them. I’ve reached the limit of what I can test and would value any serious advice.

EDIT: Recently replaced my power supply with a Corsair HX 850, no further crashes have occurred.
