My PC only crashes while playing games after I tried to undervolted my Ryzen 9 5900x so save on some thermals (college dorm).
Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Ryzen 9 5900x
RTX 3090
Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master v1.1/1.2
Corsair Rmx 850w Power Supply
Bios ver. f35d (just updated to make sure that wasn't the issue)
I looked into trying to undervolt my CPU because the Ryzen 5000 chips run hot and my apartment, unfortunately, doesn't have AC, I watched a few tutorials on how to get into it and decided to try it. I only used the BIOS for testing undervolt. But I would always get crashes in games not in cinebench or 3dmark or anything until I started a game, even simple esports titles like rocket league would freeze my computer and id have to hard shutdown. I usually run HWINFO or such to keep eye on temps but I would notice they would stop responding or updating along with my case RGB fans. So since I couldn't figure out undervolting I tried to reset everything to stock in the bios, but still had the same issue with freezing only in games. So I tried updating my Bios and drivers to see if that's what I had wrong. I've don't a full DDU safe mode driver wipe and reinstall. I even tried rolling back windows to before I had the issue and it still happens. That didn't work and now I'm kind of lost and not sure what could be happening. I can still use my pc normally (word, adobe suite, or even YouTube and Netflix) but as soon as I start a game I've only got 1 to 5 min before my pc freezes and I have too hard shutdown to get back to "normal". Not even my led debug lights change.
I'm grasping at straws and have no idea what's wrong any help would be appreciated.
