Windows 10: My PC fully restarts when I try and play certain games

My pc fully goes black and restarts when i try and launch certain games. I don't get an error code, just a full pc restart. I've made sure all my drivers are updated, deleted and reinstalled my NVIDA drivers to be safe, even made sure my motherboards chipset was updated. I don't know what else to try, I changed out my PSU thinking it may be buggy. It runs Balder gate 3 fine but fully restarts when I even launch Dead by Daylight.My specs are AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core ProcessorGigabyte X570 AORUS ELITENIVIDA GeForce RTX 308064 gigabytes of corsair ramRM100e PSU

Computer randomly restarts while playing certain games

This happens most often while playing grim dawn, but its happened very rarely on minecraft, sekiro, and titan quest. Sometimes it happens immediately, sometimes I can play for hours with no problems. Temperatures are fine, CPU never going above 60 and GPU
never above 50. Screen suddenly goes black and then my computer starts loading up again automatically.

Specs:

• CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
• GPU: EVGA GTX 1080
• RAM: 2x8gb G.SKILL Ripvaws V 2400mhz
• Motherboard: MSI MPG x570 Gaming Edge Wifi
• PSU: Corsair CX750M

Things I've tried:

• Reinstalled game
• Reinstalled/updated graphics drivers
• Changed fan curves
• sfc /scannow
• Windows updates
• BIOS updates
• enabled/disabled XMP
• enabled/disabled virtualization
• reseated cables
• reseated ram
• ran memtest86 with no errors
• tried different outlet with and without surge protector

It has never restarted while idle, and hasn't restarted while playing the vast majority of my games, most being significantly more demanding. I had the problem initially on minecraft, but then it suddenly stopped and I've been able to play it fine with no
issues up until now. Still restarting in the other games. I remember this happening on grim dawn one or two years ago, but I stopped playing and forgot about the problem until recently when I tried playing again. It's never restarted during any CPU or GPU
stress tests. No relevant information in the event viewer as far as I can tell, only the generic kernel power 41. I have no idea what else to try, and I'd appreciate any help I can get.
