My system, out of the blue, is starting to shut down randomly during gaming.

CPU temps at max were 69C, GPU floated between 75-78

I7 10700K OC'd to 4.8 ghz
corsair 465x fan with upgraded noctua fans
corsair h212i AIO water cooler
rtx 3080

I searched by these event ID's, and I don't have anything recent - 41,1074,6006,6605,6008

my system gracefully shuts down, and I don't have any events in the system logs that indicates a resource issue or temperature.

Solution
I would suggest firstly download and run Malwarebytes and make sure there is no viruses causing this issues.

If that comes back clean, open up device Manager to see if there is any yellow ! on any of the drivers.

If there is some issues double click on the troubled drivers and check the error code. and we will go from there.

If that is fine, check for windows updates.

If nothing works, it might be a PSU (Power Supply Unit) Problem.
However I am not sure how to test a PSU
