I've been having a strange issue with my PC: it seems to crash whenever I press the 'T' key. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but after experiencing this multiple times, I'm convinced that every time my PC goes down, it's right after I hit 'T'. This isn't limited to a specific game; I've noticed it while playing 'High on Life' and 'Valorant'. While I'm active in the games, the screen just goes black with a 'No Signal' message like the HDMI cable was unplugged. The fans keep running for a little while, then they stop, but when I click my mouse or press any key, the PC comes back on and takes me straight to the lock screen without losing my progress. I'm really worried about whether this could be harmful to my system. Should I stop using my PC until I figure this out? Here are my specs: Windows 10, Ryzen 5 3600, Gigabyte A520M K V2, Gigabyte RTX 3050, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a 500GB LEXAR NVME SSD. I'm not very tech-savvy, but I'm willing to provide more details if needed!

This sounds pretty weird, but it could possibly be a short circuit between your 'T' key and something else on your motherboard. If you can, it might help to check the Event Viewer for any logs around the time it crashes. That might give us a clearer picture of what's going on. If it happens again, try taking some screenshots of the System and Application logs and share them with us!
Yes, it’s definitely a desktop! I'll make sure to send the screenshots if it crashes again.
