I've been having troubles with my roughly 3 year old PC for a while now, but recently it has gotten much worse.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
RTX 3080 10GB
MSI PRO-VDH B550M
750W PSU GOLD (not sure of the brand)
Windows 10
It has worked fine for years until a few months ago. I would be playing a game and occasionally the PC would just turn off and the fans would go really loud. From what I read, this was likely some sort of power spike to the GPU. I managed to get this problem to be replicatable. When playing railroad empire 2, if I go to the screen where you unlock new engines (It renders them in 3D), after a few seconds this would happen. I was able to get around this by lowering the graphics settings. The temps were fine, so I don't think that was the issue. This did occasionally happen on other games. Graphics drives are up to date, although the problem was happening before the last driver update I did.
Then more recently when playing satisfactory, the PC would turn off after playing for just a few minutes, which is happening every time I play now. But no fans this time. I also had a blue screen when I first turned it on today, which doesn't usually happen. Checking the event viewer logs, the only thing of note there is the critical error when I did a hard reboot. No errors, which makes me think its hardware.
I ran the FurMark GPU stress test and it was actually fine. It pulled 100 FPS very solidly in ultrawide 1440p and the temps were fine after about 15 minutes.
Running the OCCT power test led to this every 3s: Error - 3D Adaptive - 785808 error(s) found ( GPU #0 - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 ), although repeating the test it had no errors. The 12V rail is pretty rock steady ranging between 11.96V and 12.14V.
It handled the OCCT CPU and RAM test fine, same with the 3D adaptive test.
