PC reboots while gaming

Hi,

 

I am having an issue with my PC rebooting while playing more graphicaly demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, Grounded or recently Kena - Bridge of Spirits. This can happen randomly e.g. after an hour or two. However when I play Genshin Impact for hours - nothing happens...

Most of the time the PC reboots but sometimes the screen freezes and I have to press the reset button.

 

I have reinstalled Windows 10 and also replaced the PSU - but this didn't help.

 

I have noticed that VGA led on my motherboard lights up red and stays on till I switch my PC off. This happens almost everytime with rare cases when it switches off after initial checks while booting.

 

Is it possible that 2400 RAM is an issue? or is it more likely motherboard or GPU (I've read there are some quality issues with some of the cards...)

 

I have attached logs from HWiNFO64 and Open Hardware Monitor - just before the crash - unfortunately I don't see any indication what is the problem. The temperatures look good to me.

 

Setup:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus B550 Pro (V2)
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 ULTRA (got it through Verified Gamer program!)
RAM: 4x8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport LT White 2400MHz
PSU: Seasonic Focus GX-750
Cooling: be quiet! Dark Rock 4
Case: Phanteks P400A ARGB

 

Thank you in advance!

How new is the PSU? This has apparently been fixed in newer models IIRC, but if yours is old enough, it could very well be what's happening.

 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Are you on the latest non-beta BIOS?

The BIOS ver I have is F13g but I see that two new ones were added - will update ASAP to see if this helps.
