My PC specifications:
CPU: Intel i3 10105f
GPU: GTX 1650
Power supply: some Corsair 450w
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B560-PLUS
RAM: 16gb DDR4
Monitor: 2560x1440 165hz
In short, my computer randomly shuts down when playing a 3D game for about ten minutes, then restarts with the fans at maximum speed. I managed to extend usage to a few hours, but once it starts, it keeps doing so.
I’ve checked several times there’s no temperature problem.
I’ve tried various fixes like clearing CMOS, reinstalling drivers, updating Windows, adjusting GPU voltage, etc.
Event logs show only occasional crashes and warnings about the PC being turned off incorrectly.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Power supply details: Corsair 450W model, current wattage claim. What is the exact model number and age of the PSU? If it's a CX unit, do you have the green or grey labeled one? You may consider obtaining a more stable 550W PSU and checking if the problem continues. Just to note, your GTX1650 isn't built for 1440p at 165Hz gaming settings.
Make and model of your case, temperatures for CPU and GPU?

I see, it seems to be a CX as you mentioned, and it has the green label. I understand, the monitor was discounted when I purchased it, and I lowered the resolution on it. It's about 4 years old.

Sorry, I didn't read the final section... I'm not sure about the case, but temperatures remain below 70 for the GPU prior to the crash and 60 for the CPU (these are during playtime in Sons of the Forest)

Look for a superior power source from a friend and try it out on your setup.
The monitor's specifications are beyond what your card can handle.
