I'm having some serious issues with my PC crashing while I'm gaming. It happens with games like Siege and GTA. Some nights are fine, but other nights, it crashes every 5 minutes, leaving both of my monitors frozen on a screen that looks like the Blue Screen of Death, but it's actually just my wallpaper with the BSOD text on it. When I have to manually power off my machine, I notice that the audio from my speakers becomes scratchy in short intervals after a restart, and I have to restart again to fix it. I've updated my NVIDIA graphics drivers to the latest version and followed several tutorials online, but nothing seems off. I'm running Windows 11, and here are my specs:
* Asus X570-E ROG Strix Gaming II (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth)
* AMD Ryzen 9 5900X | 4.8 GHz | 12 Cores 24 Threads
* Gigabyte RTX 3070Ti Gaming OC - 8GB
* 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RS RGB 3600MHz (2x16GB)
* NZXT Kraken X63 | 280mm Radiator
* 1TB Gen4 Aorus M.2 NVME (x2)
* 4 x NZXT Aer RGB 2 Fans (2x 120mm | 2x 140mm) - Black
* 850W NZXT C Series 80+ Gold - Modular
* Windows 11 Home 64 Bit

Just sharing this in case you haven't seen it: some users report that mutual authentication issues with Bluetooth connections have been a cause for similar crashes. It might be worth investigating your Bluetooth settings or devices if you’ve noticed anything odd there.
Sounds like you might be hitting some crash reports. Have you tried accessing the minidump files for analysis? You can find them in C:WindowsMinidump. If you have any, compress the folder and upload it to a file-sharing site so people can help figure out the issue better. You could also try changing the dump settings to Small Memory Dump so you get more data if you're not seeing many files right now.
You can check out the Event Viewer for any errors around the time your PC crashed. Just press Win + X, open up Event Viewer, and look under Windows Logs -> System. It might give you some insight into what's failing. Make sure to check those error entries.
