PC restarts while playing games

I've had this problem for a while now. While gaming my PC suddently restarts. I don't hear the fans speeding up compared to using my PC normally, nor does it happen whenever I do something potentially hard to compute. As far as I've seen theres no indication when it happens. It doesn't normally restart when im doing something else.

My graphic drivers are updated and I'm on the latest version of Windows 11. The games that caused my PC to restart are:

• Overwatch 2
  
• VALORANT
  
• CS:GO
  
• City Skylines (Xbox Gamepass)
  

 

PC hangs when playing games and plays boken game audio in the background.
