My PC frequently crashes, even though I've followed all troubleshooting steps. It only occurs during GPU-intensive games. Temperatures are normal, I've underclocked it before, but that didn't resolve the problem. I've used only one RAM stick in different slots, yet the issue remains. Everything else is less than a year old.

The complete specifications encompass the brand and model details of the power supply unit.

What are you trying to use a Molex cable for? I hope you're not using a molex to PCIe adapter to power your GPU. You can hook up a lot of PCIe 6+2 pin cables directly to that PSU.

You have ample power for your system. A more detailed description would be helpful.
The issue could involve the PSU failing or a GPU-related problem.

Heavy gaming increases the load on the power supply to run the graphics card. If your PSU is outdated, it might be the first thing to consider. And... what does this molex cable refer to?

Sorry, that wasn’t intended to refer to a moles cable. I’m actually using a PCIe 6+2 from the PSU. Regarding the second point, yes, it just crashes and shuts down, but I enabled automatic restart through my BIOS after a power loss so it resumes operation.

The next action is to disable the automatic restart; observe if it causes a blue screen, but it might be too fast to notice with the automatic restart.
