Hello.
I need help to understand what my issue if with the current PC as it freezes in some games, mainly CoD: Warzone. Its a hard freeze, with sound getting stuck and Im forced to force a restart via power button. It appears to be random, some nights I can play a few games and others I have a freeze every 1½-2hrs or so.
Specs:
Asus Z370-A latest bios
8700k OC 5Ghz
Samsung 850 500GB (Good health)
6800XT - NEW
860W power supply - NEW Fractal Design plat
16GB 4000mhz
I have tried:
Before I upgraded the GPU to 6800XT I had a 2070 Super and even if I didnt play as much as I do today (as new hardware sparks gaming intensivity) I NEVER had this issue even once in Warzone, even with "faulty memory channel issues" that wasnt solved back then but its not like the GPU is working hard in Warzone, it jumps around 70% usage and 2000mhz clockspeed as its a CPU-demanding game. Unfortunaly I sold that GPU as I was thinking this worked as intended when I jumped in and out of games and not really ran a few games after eachother.
I have a custom loop on the CPU and its delidded so its never over 65c when gaming. GPU gets hot, but its a hot card according to reviewers, many reporting hotspots of 95c+ and I have the same temperatures.
Im at a point of wanting to "throw money at the problem" but with todays lack of available hardware I cant even do that to rule out parts. Anyone having tips on what I should be doing?

I have tried:
- Fresh installed windows
- Newest drivers, upgrading every time there is a new one
- Memtest86 no issues
- Upgraded powersupply from 650W to 860W
- Reseat CPU as "B" memory channels didnt work, found a pin that was oddly bent its not 100% but channels are working again
- Stock bios settings
- Downclocking RAM to 3200mhz still loaded voltage
- Downclocking CPU to standard
- Undervolting GPU and slightly downclocking it
