Hi, I recently completed my first PC build https://pcpartpicker.com/user/L3gendz/saved/KCwCzy and was able to set everything up however any time I attempt to play any game it ends up randomly closing a few minutes in. I'm not sure if it could be the power connected to the gpu as it has 3 24 pin slots and requires 355W and I have 2 pigtail connectors from it to my power supply with one hanging. I have tried updating, reinstalling, and using older versions of gpu drivers as well as updating motherboard. The memory diagnostic tool also detects something wrong with my PC but I am not sure what it is. Also no errors are showing in windows event viewer. Please help.

Your PSU should be fine. What are your CPU and GPU operating temperatures at idle and under load?

What memory diagnostic tool are you using?
gpu idle is usually around 40-50 and under load about 67. I was using the windows memory diabnostic tool which says the error could also be because of driver issues.
 
Failure after a time suggests a heat issue.
Look into the icue software that is controlling your aio cooler.
Verify that the pump is actually operating at full rpm and that the radiator fans are turning.

Pretty sure it is not a heat issue. The aio cooler is working and the fans are turning. Never seen any temperatures tough 70C

Just to confirm, are you using individual connections from the PSU to the video card? Looks like the MSI 7900XTX has 3 8-pin power connectors. Ideally you should be using 3 8-pin power cables and leave the pig tails hanging. Avoid using the pig tail connectors.

Yes the pig tail connectors are left hanging using multiple of them,
