Question Hard PC freeze with no BSOD.

So I've had my PC for three years, I've only updated the GPU which was last year and RAM which was earlier this year, and I haven't had any issues playing any games or doing anything really, but once Monster Hunter: Wilds has come out I picked up the game, and the first day I played it all day and no issue, then I started getting the hard freeze which makes me have to hold down the power button to shut off the PC and restart it.

I have the latest BIOS' updates, I don't overclock anything, I have XMP enabled but nothing else.

The event ID is 1

Specs:

CPU: 12th Gen Intel i9 - 12900KF 3.20Ghz
RAM: 64 gig DDR4 3200 G.Skill Ripsaw
MB: ASUS Prime Z960-P WIFI D4
GPU: PNY 4060Ti 16gig
PSU: CORSAIR HX1000 Power Supply - 80 PLUS Platinum
SSD: WD Blue SN570 NVMe
WD Blue SATA SSD M.2 2280





All logs dealing with the WHEA error.

you're working with? How old is the PSU in your build? 3 years?

RAM: 64 gig DDR4 3200 G.Skill Ripsaw
You've stated here that they're DDR4-3200MHz while your screenshot from HWInfo shows DDR4-3600MHz, are you working with two ram kits? Can you pass on a link to your ram kit?

Does the issue crop up with Monster Hunter: Wilds alone?

I've only updated the GPU which was last year
Did you run DDU in Safe Mode to remove all GPU drivers(intel, AMD and Nvidia) before swapping GPU's over and installing the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?

Yes the PSU is the one that came with the system, I bought it from IBUYPower.

Here's the like to the RAM I did buy. and that is installed in the system.

As for when the WHEA happens, yes it only happens in Monster Hunter: Wilds. Other info that may be relevant or not, the monitor I use is a Samsung Odyssey G9, but I don't game in full screen, I do windowed mode in 1920x1080 while I also have Discord up on one side of the screen, and Firefox on the other and what ever game I'm playing in the middle.

Also as I run the game, I do have temp gauges up and none seem to reach 70c on both the CPU and GPU.

I have run DDU, not when I got the 4060ti but recently after I did have the first or second WHEA crash as for running it as Administrator I did not do that.
