This is my friend's computer that I help build. We have almost identical builds, only differences being Mobo, Ram, and PSU.
Whenever my friend launches a game for the first time it plays. Maybe for 5min, maybe for 5 hours but for the most part it works. But when he goes back to replay that game or after playing it for a bit it hard resets his computer. (RGB fans for case, rgb for Ram, rgb for mobo, cpu fan all stay on. Keyboard, mouse, monitor appear to lose signal/turn off and mobo goes through boot cycle)
Sometimes windows gives an error on restart asking to do repair. Sometimes it just boots back up to login.
He has had this issue since playing Lostark for the first time when it was in alpha. Elden Ring, vermintide 2, and sometimes league of legends will cause the crash. All blizzard games, slay the spire, and skyrim don't cause the crash.
We have tried swapping psu, gpu, Ram, ssd, windows reinstall, mobo factory reset, swapping from windows 10 to 11, trying a different gpu slot on mobo, and probably a bunch of other stuff I don't remember anymore since first trying solve this issue. Over heating also doesn't seem to be the issue when playing games that don't cause crashing, cpu Temps stay around 50°c and Gpu around that as well.
Pretty much at my wits end, any other ideas would be great.
