I'm not seeking a fix, but it seems unusual since everything holds up, even at 5.1 (where this happens).
RTX 3080
i7-10700K
16x2GB 3200Mhz
360ML Coolermaster AIO
V750W Coolermaster Fully Modular 80Plus Gold
Z490 Gaming X Gigabyte
3SSD's, 2 Nvme.
2 Monitors.
I completed a 4-hour stress test on the 10700K at 5.1 and it remained stable, with temperatures never exceeding 81°C.
Games also performed well, though the PC would shut down unexpectedly.
Could this be due to random power spikes affecting my PSU protection, or is the PSU itself failing? Is this a typical issue?

It seems like your system might be experiencing instability.
