My Computer Freezes and Restarts When Playing Games with RTX 5080

Hey everyone! I've been having some serious issues with my RTX 5080 over the past couple of days. It actually started about two weeks ago when Dota began crashing unexpectedly, and I initially thought that was just a game glitch. Recently, I tried playing Diablo 4, and now my computer completely freezes up and then restarts on me. Here are my specs: - GPU: RTX 5080 MSI Vanguard - CPU: Ryzen 9800x3D - Motherboard: X870 Aorus Elite WiFi7 from Gigabyte - RAM: 64 GB Trident Z5 GSKILL 6000 MHz - Power Supply: CORSAIR HXi Series HX1000i I have some crash dump files that indicate three different errors, but I'm not sure what they mean. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I updated the drivers just now, but it crashed again. I checked out the Event Viewer, and honestly, I'm a bit lost. The dump files mentioned two different errors, and I don't really get what's going on.

Have you made sure to update your graphics drivers? That's usually the first step. Also, check your Event Viewer for any critical errors that pop up when your computer crashes. It'll give you a better idea of what's going wrong.
