[SOLVED] Games crashing after a certain amount of time after launching

I recently bought a new case for my old PC, so I tried shifting my components to the new one a couple of days back. Everything seemed to work fine until I start gaming. All the games I play crashes at some point, some crash in the first 5 minutes and some take about 15- 30 mins to crash. I couldn't get hold of any error messages to figure out what was wrong.

Specs:
  • Ryzen 5 3600
  • RTX 2070 Super
  • Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB 3600MHz CL18 (4x8)
  • MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
  • Gigabyte 700W 80 PLUS BRONZE (I think)
I ran Heaven benchmark on the GPU for a couple of hours with and without the overclock each and the temps never went about 69C in both cases.
I tried running Cinebench on a loop for about 30 mins and the CPU hit a max of 75C
All the temps seem to be under normal parameters
There is no difference to the performance if I'm not gaming, I'm not experiencing any lags or anything at all, it's the same as before swapping cases

What I've tried:
  • Reinstalling the GPU drivers
  • Reinstalling the game
  • Verifying game files

What I've tried:
  • Reinstalling the GPU drivers
  • Reinstalling the game
  • Verifying game files
You could try these step by step:
  • Disconnect from internet
  • Uninstall gpu driver using DDU (clean and do not restart).
  • Uninstall all the processors on device manager (should be 12 on yours) like this:

  • Restart the pc to bios, and update to the latest bios(download, extract the files and copy it to flashdrive, plug it on top rear usb slot then reboot to bios and flash the bios). Then go to bios again after update and load default or optimized settings.

  • boot up to windows and install the latest AMD Chipset driver, reboot, go to power plan and choose amd ryzen balanced, and connect to internet.

  • Install the latest nvidia driver.

    *do this all offline until reboot after installing amd chipset driver, also you may reboot to bios after all of this to set the XMP (and previous settings you did), make sure your ram is on slot 2 and 4. Download needed files (highlighted word) before doing step 1.

  • And try to defrag the game drive on cmd, run cmd as admin and do: for ssd: defrag (drive letter) /d /u /v then /l /o /u /v, for hdd: defrag /d /o /u /v

  • And check windows update (and optional updates) if there is any and install them all. Check graphics settings and enable hardware accelerated graphics scheduling (available on the latest windows update) like this and reboot:

Make sure the psu connected to the gpu is 1 pcie cable per 1 slot (use main cable/head, not the branches/split) like this:

Then re install the game (copy paste method maybe?) and verify that game again.
