Question Games randomly crashing & sometimes rebooting my PC.

[Sparkster2348]

Hi Everyone

I built a new PC a few weeks ago, the basic specs are in my signature.

Sometimes I can game for several hours without any issues.
Occasionally games are crashing, sometimes this can be several times in a day (freezing, and then the application will close on its own).
Or what has happened twice now is just a full system reboot just randomly mid game.

All in all I've only had about 10-12 times this has happened, but its enough for me to be concerned.

I am not experiencing these crashes at all when doing office work on the PC (for 8 hours a day).

I'm playing CK3 (less demanding) and Apex (more demanding) about 50/50 and I would say 90% of the crashes have been when playing Apex.

The only things I have done in the BIOS is setup XMP and set the min & max power limits to a flat 150w.

Have the latest BIOS.
GPU Drivers are all up to date.

Been monitoring all the usual stuff during gaming with MSI Afterburner.
GPU is around 50-70c, with GPU memory around 65-85c. Power draw is at healthy 200-250w. Utilization at 100%
CPU is around 40-60c. Power draw is almost always sub 100w. Utilization around 35-55%

Everything is under warranty, so no problem getting parts replaced.
But then problem is I don't what is causing the issue

I'm hoping maybe its just a 7800XT driver issue with it being a new release.

How can I narrow down what the problem is?

Just to add its probably crashed about another 5 times in the past hour, seems to occur during periods of heavy animation
