I'm having a weird issue with my PC where it randomly makes an electrical sizzling sound. After about 30 seconds of that noise, my monitor shuts off and then the PC restarts. This mostly happens when I'm playing games like GTA. Just to give you some context, here are my specs for my four-year-old PC: CPU: Ryzen 5600X, GPU: RTX 2060 Asus Evo, Motherboard: Asus B550-F Gaming (WiFi), RAM: Trident Z Neo 16GB, PSU: Corsair RM750, and I'm using Lian Li fans in a Lian Li Dynamic XL case.

An electrical sizzling sound isn't a good sign at all! You should definitely check out your power supply, motherboard, GPU, RAM, and CPU cooler. It's also smart to inspect all your fans. If there's any smoke, that's a big red flag!
I can't smell anything, but could overheating still be an issue? My GPU and CPU temps are maxing out at about 70 degrees Celsius. It just sounds weird, like a hissing snake or something.
