Windows 10: PC reboots during heavy gaming

Hello, I recently encountered reboots in the middle of my gaming session - Fortnite and BF 2042 specifically. My GPU drivers are up-to-date, I reinstalled both games and launchers and still reboots. Sometimes after ten minutes, sometimes after half an hour. I tried lowering settings to min, no change. I removed OC from RAMs, just plain XMP profile, still same.My setup is:CPU: Ryzen 7 5700XGPU: Asus RTX 3060 Ti DualRAM: 16 GB Ballistix 3200 MT/s, CL 16 DDR4MB: MSI B450 Tomahawk MaxPSU: Corsair RMx 650 WStorage: M.2 Boot SSD, 2x Crucial SSD SataEvent Viewer is reporting same critical error every

Hard crashes with ANY heavy load

Out of the blue, my computer has been crashing upon heavy loads. For example, playing a game. I can load into the menu fine, but when it finishes loading the game, either the game will crash or my computer will black screen and restart. Specs and what I have tried already are as follows:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
  
• RAM: 32GB Corsair DDR4-3200MHz
  
• MOBO: ASUS X470 Prime Pro
  
• GPU: ZOTAC GTX-1070
  
• PSU: Corsair CX450
  

What I have tried:

• Updated drivers for CPU, GPU and MOBO BIOS updated
  
• reinstall GPU drivers via NVIDIA software utilities
  
• unplugged and reconnected all PSU connections, reseated GPU
  

I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions you have to fix my issues are greatly appreciated.
