Why Does My PC Randomly Crash While Gaming?

-

I’ve been experiencing random crashes on my PC while gaming, and it’s getting really frustrating. When it happens, my PC freezes, and I have to restart it by holding down the power button. I built this setup just last summer, so it’s relatively new. Here are my specs: I have a 4070 Super GPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU, 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, an MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard, and an MSI MAG A750GL PSU. I don’t think overheating is the issue since my CPU rarely hits 80°C. I’m really unsure where to look for help with this, and any insights would be appreciated!

I checked, and my GPU is at about 98% when I’m playing heavy games. I’m not quite sure what you mean by “power draw,” though. My English isn’t perfect, so I might be missing some technical terms.
