Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out why my PC often freezes or shows a blue screen while playing games. After it restarts on its own, it usually ends up in a black screen or jumps straight into BIOS with a “Boot Failure Detected” warning. Sometimes it works again after resetting the CMOS battery. It can also happen on the first try, but sometimes I need to repeat the process several times. I’m not sure if this is connected to anything else, but my Intel XTU has Speed Optimizer active and BIOS is set to “Max Performance.” I also overclock the GPU using MSI Afterburner, but only at half the recommended limit. This machine is the first one I built two years ago—it performed perfectly at first, but things started acting odd recently. The issue seems to appear only during gaming or rendering. Thanks in advance if you can help me out. Here’s what my setup looks like:

Spec:
- CPU: Intel i7-12700K
- RAM: G.Skill F4-3200C16-32GTZN (HWiNFO shows 16GTZN)
- SSDs: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB, 980 Pro 1TB, 870 EVO 1TB
- GPU: MSI gaming X RTX 3060Ti
- Power Supply: Corsair RM750
