I could really use some help here. I am at the end of my rope, I am out of ideas and this is severely impacting my ability to play games. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.
I am having issues with my computer crashing during certain games only. It is generally a random amount of time into the game and usually once I crash once I will get a cluster of crashes until they go away again for an hour or so.
My build:
GPU - ASUS TUF 3080 OC (clocked to 2000)
CPU - i9 - 10900KF (not overclocked)
mobo - ASUS 490z
RAM - 2x16GB G.Skill DDR4 3600
PSU - Corsair RM1000X - this is the only component that was replaced when I rebuilt the rig in Dec. 2020
Storage -1TB NVMe and a secondary 1TB SSD
I have only noticed two things on event viewer:

I have only noticed two things on event viewer:
- While playing Valheim I get nvidia driver failures
- Occasionally I get a full BSOD (rare) but then I notice a CPU error in the event viewer
- memtest - the RAM passed all tests, even tested each stick by itself
- tried to use MSI Kombustor etc to force the GPU to stress out and reproduce to the issue to no avail
- put my old ASUS ROG 1080ti OC back in and still had crashes
- I swapped the RAM slots and it seemed to make the crashes less frequent (all I did was switch the 2/4 slot RAM after doing memtest)
- I've monitored my heat religiously and because my case is tempered glass with open joints and 4 case fans + an AIO on the CPU I do not believe this is a thermal issue.
- I tried reinstalling my GPU drivers but I did not flash them
- replacing the PSU
- wiping the NVMe and downloading Windows fresh
