How dusty is your computer? Have you looked at the thermal paste? I'm asking since if you haven't, those two can really lead to problems. If you didn't have quality thermal paste initially, those two can cause big issues. Yes, I've experienced poor thermal paste on a new GPU before. The only reason my PSU might not be delivering enough power for your setup is that 4000 series Nvidia cards can sometimes show some power spikes, requiring you to use a power supply rated at 200 watts or more. I'm less confident about the 3060 because of the many different configurations third-party sellers offer. Getting a power supply with 750 or 800 watts will also help extend its lifespan, as they wear out more slowly when not running at full capacity constantly.
I've run numerous stress tests, but they always kick in right away except for Adventure Capitalist.
What FPS are you seeing before the crash? I'm wondering if you're getting over 200 FPS, which might mean you should lower it. I've checked and it looks like your graphics card isn't performing well—possibly due to worn fan bearings or dried thermal paste. Also, use tools like HW Info, MSI Afterburner, or GeForce Experience to monitor the power usage and voltages before your card crashes. Enable logging to track exactly what's causing the crash. It seems heat, power issues, and faulty drivers could be the problem.
The FPS remains unchanged since launching the game, and the PC restarts immediately after starting it.
It appears the readings reflect temperature since pushing an intense fan profile lets me run tasks without issues. I plan to maintain the tab mode for some time and check for any crashes.
It appears the system crashes regardless of the fan curve settings.
