I've been dealing with an issue where my PC crashes and restarts by itself while gaming. It first happened on March 10, 2026, but I brushed it off as a one-time glitch. Then, on March 25, it occurred twice in one day while playing Baldur's Gate 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2, both times with the same symptoms. I've updated my graphics card drivers and even underclocked the card, but I still ran into problems during stress tests with FurMark. The first test failed after I tried to exit, but the second was fine after underclocking. Here are the results: GPU temperatures were between 57-60°C, with the hotspot peaking at 76°C. My system specs are a Ryzen 5 2600-X, 32GB of RAM, and an RTX 2060 6GB. I suspect dust may be a culprit, but I'm concerned there might be a more serious issue. Any advice?

Have you thought about running your computer with the graphics card at its default settings once just to see if that changes anything?
Yeah, I did try that. Everything runs fine during normal use, but the crashes only happen during stress tests or while gaming, even at default settings.
