Hello again everyone.

I have bought a pc approximately 1 year ago, which has been running smooth AF and should still run smooth, BUT recently I started playing a game called "Legion TD 2" (VERY small game, which shouldnt require much pc usage) and I have random pc reboots without BSOD or any type of error message.

The reboots are COMPLETELY random, sometimes days can pass without a singular reboot and other days it reboots 3 times during a 20 minute game, which ofcourse is quite frustrating.

I have tried almost everything I feel like;
Reinstalled windows
Reinstalled drivers manually
Removed "automatic reboots" in windows advanced system settings.
Tried reducing and increasing power usage.
Made the game that is already potato quality, even more potato quality.
etcetcetc

Its an AMD error from the looks of it, and I have a 5600x with 3060TI gpu.

My system is not even remotely close to overheating, staying consistently at around 45-65degreeCelsius CPU and below 50 GPU

I always get WHEA-logger error 18 followed swiftly by CertificateServicesClient-CertEnroll error 86 when the reboot occurs.
"Fatal hardware error"

Detailed error information.

It's a corsair and im not too sure about the model, i also know its not the PSU's fault, as alot of people have this issue (note everyone has AMD cpu) and many different PSU's is in use and has been troubleshoot.

It has something to do with the cpu and it is weird because it only happens in this tiny game.. Not when playing massive games hmm
