Hello everyone,
here are my specifications:
Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 11 700W
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980Ti
RAM: Crucial Pro RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz
Case: Phanteks Eclipse p400s
OS: Windows 11

This issue began about a month ago. I was playing Lethal Company with some friends and the computer just stopped completely, as if cut off from power, and wouldn’t turn back on. After a minute, I tried pressing the power button to restart it, and everything seemed fine until I launched the game again. The same thing happened when I opened the game.

I switched from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and wiped all data from my SSD. Despite that, other games ran smoothly. I updated every driver and even the BIOS, but nothing changed. I replaced the PSU, and then the PC restarted instead of shutting down after opening the game. There are no overheating concerns.

I even returned the motherboard to MSI, who confirmed there was no problem.

I can play other games without issues, but sometimes I hear a buzzing sound from the PC (I can’t pinpoint the source) and it restarts. I’m not sure what might be causing this.
Please help me.

Use one stick of RAM at a time, then launch the steam game. Continue this process with the second stick to check for memory issues.

Thank you for your reply, I attempted your suggestion but unfortunately the issue continued. I think I've identified the cause. I performed a GPU stress test with FurMark and everything proceeded normally until I clicked on removing the circular element in the center, after which a buzzing sound emerged and the PC restarted. Therefore, it seems the problem is related to the GPU. Given that it's nine years old, it makes sense that it has started to fail.
