For a few months now I've been experiencing random crashes with my PC specifically during gaming. I used to be able to run games like Valorant on relatively high settings with no issues, but now I'm forced to run games on low settings because my PC instantly crashes otherwise. I experience crashes in Roblox of all things as well. While the crashes aren't immediate there, it still does crash randomly. I tried performing a factory reset to see if that would change much, but no luck. My drivers are also up-to-date, and CPU temps seem to be fine. I just can't seem to identify the issue. I've tried using userbenchmark to help with figuring out the issue but installing it causes my PC to crash as well. Help would be appreciated.
