My computer freezes, restarts or shuts down while playing games. It typically occours after 10 minutes or so. When I restart my computer and try to play again the error does not occour again.

I have tried to stresstest and benchmark my computer without any problems. I have ran prime95, 3DMark, Cinebench and so on without any problems such as overheating or shutdowns.

What can be causing this problem? I have speculate that it could be a bad powerstrip, PSU power cable or so.

3DMark score: GPU 9059, CPU 5409

NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER
