System power down, no recorded events captured the cause.

Yeah, I was wrong about that term. It was "Game Boost," not an overclock. It's operating at its maximum speed, but I think that could be the issue. I turned it back on last night and the computer shut down again overnight. I bought this board because it was one of the few with wireless support at the time, since I was heading to college and wanted to know if I could use a wired connection then. I learned my lesson about that. The power supply I had was a 650-watt Corsair unit—probably an older model, at least eight years old. I was expecting it to fail soon. The PSU currently in it matches the one listed on the parts list I shared earlier.
It might be related to Windows power settings for the last shutdown. Your machine is experiencing this too, which could indicate a Windows-specific issue.
I’m using a 12700 on an MSI mag b650M with Wi-Fi and Windows 11 (plus some NVMe drives and other storage). I already fixed it myself. It was just a Windows configuration issue. My sleep settings were off, but adjusting them resolved the problem.
Do you think these older games could be putting extra strain on the motherboard, and that’s why power management was designed that way? It seems curious that both of your systems have WiFi, possibly due to a chipset issue. I’ll check if adjusting the power settings resolves the problem. What changes did you make to the sleep configuration?
It ranges from allergies to COVID; it’s more of a symptom than the root cause.
You're really questioning the value of MSI motherboards these days.
It’s possible though unlikely. I have a unit (likely a b660, LGA1700 b series) that’s working okay. There are some oddities with sleep modes and the front case I/O, but I don’t believe the motherboard is the issue.
