Question Computer crashing while gaming

Would just like some assistance if possible trying to get to the bottom of this circle of hell I've found myself in, where during gaming my monitors would turn off and fans would rev up to max for 2-3 mins and then pc would reset. I've tried numerous things like reseating RAM in different slots, running one stick instead of 2, reseating gpu, updating BIOS, running sfc scannow + dism commands, turning off memory integrity and underclocking my cpu. None of it seems to work apart from potentially reseating my GPU made it work for a day or two and then it crashed again.

event viewer, just before i crash, comes up with :

A corrected hardware error has occurred.

Component: PCI Express Root Port
Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)

Primary Bus😀evice:Function: 0x0:0x1:0x0
Secondary Bus😀evice:Function: 0x0:0x0:0x0
Primary Device Name😛CI\VEN_8086&DEV_A70D&SUBSYS_88821043&REV_01
Secondary Device Name:

Following this on device manager, it leads me to what I think is an intel thing called "Intel(R) PCIe RC 010 G5 - A70D" however I am not sure if this is the cpu or not.

Whocrashed tells me that it is a dpc watchdog violation, whea logger 17 where the driver malfunctioning is intel's "intelppm.sys (intelppm+0x156f)"

I've been having this issue since I built this pc in December and would really like to get it fixed once and for all, so if anyone has any ideas to try or insights to shine down please send some assistance, it would be much appreciated

Specs:
Motherboard - Asus rog strix 790-H gaming wifi
GPU - Geforce 4080 Aero
CPU - intel 13900K i9 5.8Ghz
RAM - Corsair vengeance 6000Mhz 32gb
PSU - Corsair RM1000x
SSD m.2 x2 - Samsung 990 1tb, samsung 970 500gb
 
It would be really early for such a thing but perhaps check the PCI-e slot for a piece of debris? Maybe hit it and the card with some Deoxit?

Of course check your power connectors over and make sure they are well seated on both sides.

If I am reading (into) this properly it appears you have an OC going. Might try to reset back to base timings for the CPU/RAM/GPU to see if stability comes back.

Do you have another GPU available to use, preferably one that does not require additional power connector?
 
As far as I know there should be no overclocks apart from factory done ones during turbo boost. None that I've done myself atleast, only reason I underclocked my CPU was I heard that 13/14th gen i7 and i9s were having stability issues due to a voltage problem and a temporary fix until they released the microcode update bios was to set it to 5.3Ghz from 5.8.

I potentially have my old 1080 available though I'm not too much of a hardware wiz kid, I had to get help building this pc from my brother when it was done.
