I recently bought a new gpu and a more powerful psu for it. I started using it a lot and suddenly when playing half life alyx my pc crashed, screen went black, and restarted. The exact same thing happened when playing blade and sorcery as well as high on life. My specs are:

Intel i5 10600k
Nvidia rtx 3060ti
16gb ddr4 2666 mhz ram
750w corsair cx750m bronze rated psu
Asrock b460m motherboard

How old is the PSU in your build and what did it power prior to the RTX3060Ti?

That could be a thermal issue, meaning overheating or your PSU is incapable of powering your entire system when taxed. Might want to include the make and model of your case, the cooler used and your ambient air temps, not to mention what sort of temps you're seeing as soon as you end up with a system reboot(after the issue) and you get into BIOS(this should show you the temps just prior to the sudden system restart).

Got a link to the ram kit?

You should've looked into a Z490 chipset motherboard and a higher pedigree ram to get the most out of that unlocked K suffix processor.
