I would begin by running stress tests and identifying the problematic parts in this sequence: evaluate CPU performance with Prime95 at full load. If issues arise, it likely points to the CPU or RAM. To check RAM, remove one stick at a time and retest; failures should align closely in timing. Avoid mismatched DIMMs or dual-channel setups during testing. If both CPU and RAM appear functional, proceed to stress-test the GPU using FurMark. Should none of these steps succeed, your power supply unit is probably the culprit. Aida64 offers a 14-day trial for comprehensive testing, including CPU, memory, and GPU. Prime95 and FurMark are both free tools. Asus even provides a version of FurMark called ROG Edition, which they claim enhances GPU performance—feel free to explore it. I also suggest using GPU Tweak 3 to manage fan speeds during stress tests. A clean Windows installation might also help resolve the issue.
Consider dedicating 20 to 30 minutes to explore any settings that might be relevant. Steam, Nvidia, and all your gaming apps can be useful starting points.
Sometimes it happens, you might keep Windows running for a while before the program restarts because of memory issues.
