So I got two1440p 144hz monitors a while back. Decided to run 144hz on both with a displayport cable on one and HDMI on the other. I can game for about two hours with both monitors at 144hz and then the system crashes and restarts.
Here's my setup:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6 - core processor
ASUS TUF Gaming x570-PLUS (ATX AM4 Motherboard)
G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3500 CL16 Memory
Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5" SSD
Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME SSD
MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB MECH OC Video Card
Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Acer XF270HU Cbmiiprx 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor
Acer XF270HU Cbmiiprx 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor
I currently have both the monitors set to 60hz and all the problems with crashing I've been having have gone away. I plan to bump up the refresh rate tomorrow to see if it can handle more. But will replacing the HDMI cable fix the issue entirely?
It's a pretty old HDMI cable and I'm not quite sure what kind of cable it is.
Any and all help is appreciated.
EDIT: Nevermind, system just crashed.
I could still use the help though
