Ryzen 7 3800x

Strix rtx 3070

Basically while playing some games the entire system would freeze, I couldn't do anything and holding the power button didn't work either, I would have to pull the power cable. I noticed this happen a few months after buying the 3070 gpu, but I wasn't really sure if the gpu could cause this to happen. I decided to have all the temps and clocks on my second monitor so I could spot some kind of anomaly during the crash, because my screens stay on and frozen, but temps were all low and nothing weird.
So the game I was playing back then was stalker gamma, I decided to turn down the graphics to about medium and never experienced a crash again, so I figured it had something to do with higher graphic settings, but a few weeks ago it froze for the first time ever on CS2. Then it happened a few more times, and I noticed it was only when a molotov was thrown in front of me. But it didn't make sense, because I play cs with the lowest graphic settings, and I've had hundreds of molotov's thrown in front of me, it only started happening now. My system never did this until I installed the 3070, but even then, it seems like it's completely random. There's no error code on the mobo, my computer doesn't even act as if anything went wrong when I reboot.
My main questions: Is it possible for the gpu to do this? How likely is this to be the gpu's fault?
