Your assistance would be greatly appreciated - had a friend build me a gaming PC and it can't handle games! It crashes about 10-15 minutes into any game (BG3, Spiderman Remastered, Kingdom Come Deliverance, XCom Chimera Squad etc) - black screen, sound keeps going, fans go super fast/loud and I have to hard boot.

Specs:
CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 5200
ASRock B650M PG Riptide WiFi MATX motherboard For AMD Ryzen 7000 Series
DEEPCOOL LE500 240mm AiO Water Cooling Kit with 2x 120mm Static LED Fans

Latest drivers including BIOS and NVIDIA.

Temperatures within reasonable ranges

I'm wondering if it's the motherboard, which is within warranty, as we've already tried replacing the hard drive, checked the thermal paste, replaced the GPU fans.

Any thoughts? Thank you!

How old is the PSU in question?

BIOS version for your motherboard? This is what we're looking for instead of a latest.
