My computer keeps crashing with completely new parts. Need help figuring this one out.

I am not really sure if it is my GPU or my CPU. What happens is, after an hour or two of playing a video game like Apex Legends, Call of Duty, Valorant, my screen shuts off and then my CPU fan and GPU fan start going really loud. I can hear the game and I can still talk to my friends on discord, but the image won't show up. If I try to restart my computer, the windows logo as it boots becomes a strip of blue lines and then the computer crashes again. I have to wait like, 5 minutes or so before the restart will actually boot an image properly. I will attach an image. Is this the GPU or CPU? Is it because of temperatures? The GPU I have is the RTX 3080 Aorus Master, CPU is the Ryzen 9 5900x. I did not overclock anything. The cooler I have for the CPU is the Noctua NH D15.

Now, a lot of people told me that my power supply was the reason I was crashing. So I got a 1000w Asus Rog Strix PSU. Yet, I still crashed. Anyone have recommendations for a PSU that doesn't crash their GPU? If this is actually a GPU related problem. At this point, I am not really sure what part is causing this. This Asus Rog Strix PSU also only has daisy link cables. I heard that daisy link can cause crashing for the 30 series. So, can I use 3, daisy link cables and only plug in each one once? Or do the cables have to specifically have 1, 8 pin header?

use one cable for each header of the card and check if something changes

 

reinstall the drivers just in case, but this

sounds like a GPU problem to me

Alright so just use 3 cables even though all 3 are daisy link? Does anyone have a suggestion for a good PSU that can handle the power spikes of a GPU? Could it be temperatures since I have to wait 5 or so minutes before I can restart and it boots properly?
