My system is getting crashed while gaming or benchmarking, but runs without any problem for whole day on normal usage

 

Troubleshooting steps:

 

  1. Operating System: Tried on 2 different OS Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10 (separately installed on 2 different SSDs) but problem persists hence its not an OS issue
  2. Memory: I have a 2 RAM stick each with 8gb, With single RAM stick (anyone) benchmark or game runs a bit longer before crashing as compared to both RAM stick when configured in dual channel mode
  3. Overheating: While running heaven benchmark or game (Far cry 5) stats of CPU/GPU are GPU: 67 °c (max)  Usage 99% (avg), CPU: 50 °c (avg. per cores). Hence I believe it’s not a CPU/ GPU overheating issue
  4. Checked SSD health on Western Digital SSD Dashboard it is also ok

I also need to update my GPU in few weeks, so even if it doesn't solves my problem I need better PSU.
