Sounds like a power issue if the power just drops out with no hesitation the PC won't have power or time to create a dump file and in which case fail.

System specs
?
My specs are
ROG Strix B450 F motherboard
Msi rtx 2060
Ryzen 5 3600
16GB T force 3200 ram
Corsair CX550w Psu
I have 3 storage devices 120 GB ssd, 1TB hdd, and a 1 TB m.2 ssd

For example right now i turned on my computer, loaded up overwatch 2 to check out the new season, and after maybe 10 seconds my computer restarts. It primarily does this when I have a game running e.g. league of legends, valorant, overwatch. These are all the games that it has crashed on.

Yeah I don't know if that's enough power for your system it may not even be a faulty psu it may just not be the the system getting enough power and straight shutting down

From what I can find the absolute minimum recommended you want is 650w, but recommended is 850w for power spikes and future upgrades and add-ons.

I found the issue out with some friends, it was a bunch of stuff that was affecting it, outdated bios, corrupted files, full OS ssd. I appreciate the help though!
 
common reasons for being unable to create a dump file.
  • out of disk space
  • bugcheck in the storage driver
  • drive asleep and not able to wake up.
  • drive disconnected and can not reconnect. (bios hotswap setting turned off)
  • drive firmware problems, drive not responding
