Windows 10: Computer restarts during games but passes all stress tests

Computer restarts during games but passes all stress tests. No issues found on memory test either. I've attached the Mini dump file from running Driver Verifier but I don't know what's causing the issue. I should also mention that this computer was just factory reset.

Freeze then watch dog timeout BSOD when stress testing

Whenever I performed a stress test with OCCT or Intel XTU or ran intel diagnostic utility, my computer would freeze then get BSOD with watch dog timeout. I did a new install of windows and now I can run the intel diagnostic utility without freezing and the CPU passes all tests. But I still get the freeze then watchdog timeout if running cinebench stress test, OCCT stress tests or Intel XTU stress tests. I ran the windows memory diag tool and memory checks out ok. I also bought a new PSU to ensure that wasn't the problem either. PC is stable when playing games - its just stress testing that I get the BSOD.

Monitor going blank when I put my PC under stress (Whole playing games/running a stress test)

PC: Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen Edition

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900
GPU: RTX 3080 10GB
RAM: 32 GB

I was playing fine until when I was playing a game (Fortnite) it started glitching, and restarting, so I ran a stress test (Pass mark 3D Test) and it passed the DX 9, 10 and 11, but as soon as it reached the DX12 graphics test, it did the same thing, glitching and the monitor going blank.

So I changed the port from Display port to HDMI, and ran a stress test (Passmark) I did the 3D Test and it passed the DX9, 10 11, and DX12 tests and I thought it was working but then it was doing the 3D Compute tests doing fractals and physics tests and then my monitor suddenly went blank, my PC was still on so I took the HDMI ports off and on again and still didnt come, I turned the actual monitor off and on again, still blank, so I shut the alienware down manually and turned the power switch off, then waited a few minutes, then after it was back to normal Windows 11. How do I fix this?

Also Idk if this is important but when I turned the PC on again, the alienware logo was flashing yellow for a bit then turning to the normal blue. I'm worried and idk if it's trying to tell me an error or something.
