My computer shuts down unexpectedly after sitting idle with the screensaver running. When I leave it on and the screensaver starts, it restarts randomly without any input needed. Using the PC normally works fine. The hardware specs are: ASUS B450-MK motherboard, Ryzen 5 3600 processor, RTX 3070 GPU, 32GB LPDDR5 RAM, 850W XPG Core Reactor power supply, and storage via SATA SSD and HDD. I've tried a fresh Windows install but the problem continues. I disabled automatic restarts without changing anything else. Updated drivers after reinstalling the GPU and chipset didn't help. My guess is the CPU mounting might be faulty since I recently added the GPU and upgraded the case, so I'm planning to fix that.

It looks like the issue might be linked to GPU usage, possibly due to video drivers or background processes affecting Windows performance. Try using another GPU if available—integrated options can work too.
