I had this issue over half a year ago and it got solved after I replaced my psu.
I've let my pc run MSI kombustor, furmark, heaven benchmark with cpu stressed for an hour and my pc never crashed but every time while playing the usual games this particular thing happens randomly.

Whenever this happens, I have to press the restart button on my pc case and it boots me into the bios, sometimes it doesn't even detect the m.2 SSD.

I have to run sfc /scannow once every couple of weeks because whenever I run that command it always fixes something broken in my windows.

I'd like to diagnose and put an end to this problem. Any help will be appreciated.
 
Need to get whatever it takes to keep all of that hardware safe and happy.
Was that RTX 2060 not overpriced?
80 Plus certification isn't as important in 230v locations, anyway. Assuming "over here" isn't a 115v location.
230v psu's are more efficient than 115v.

Was unaware that a minimum of Gold spec PSU is required to build a functioning PC.

My 2060 costed me as much as what a 650W gold PSU would cost me.

I get 220V 50Hz electricity at home.

Thanks for helping me btw. Let's see where this goes xO

Go to Settings > System > Storage > Disks & Volumes > <drive C> and select properties.
See what the Estimated remaining life is.

The Disks and Volumes option doesn't show up for me but I've got Crystal Disk Info installed and it says the following:

I was able to play PUBG for a few hours without problems and Hell Let Loose, SoT and BF2042 still keep crashing.
I've tried verifying the file integrity but that never helped.
I also did a DDU that never helped either.
Cleaned connectors, reseated the GPU and reconnected all other cables a while ago. Lets see if that fixes anything.

Now the PSU.
In defence, I've stress tested my PC in furmark and CPU stress test simultaneously and the PSU takes that for hours.
Heaven benchmark also runs for hours without problems.

I understand that these tests don't simulate gaming scenarios 1:1 but.. a few games run absolutely fine.

Edit: The website wouldn't let me write the names of the games and tells me that the message looks suspicious and spammy.
