I recently got a new PC that's been working fine until I tried playing a game on Faceit. I went into the BIOS to enable secure boot and noticed it needed a BIOS update. After updating, my PC began to crash randomly during games. I tried downgrading the BIOS, loading UEFI defaults, disabling global c-state, and PBO, and even manually setting the RAM speed and voltage, but it's still crashing. My current specs are: Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 3050 (6GB), 16GB RAM (2666MHz), and an Asrock B450M HDV R4. Any suggestions on what might be causing the crashes?

When it crashes, do you know exactly what happens? Is it a full freeze, a black screen that reboots, or are you getting any Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error messages? It's important to narrow down the symptoms for fixing the issue.
The game usually runs fine for about 3 minutes, then it freezes, turns black, and the PC reboots back to the startup screen. No error codes show up, but the fan lights stay on.
