I've been having a frustrating issue where my PC crashes after about 30 minutes of playing Overwatch 2, resulting in a black screen and a reboot without any error messages. I've recently upgraded my CPU cooler, and I've also replaced my RAM, motherboard, and CPU with new parts. Despite all of this, the problem persists. Does anyone have suggestions or advice on what could be causing this?

Have you checked the Event Viewer for any error messages before the crashes? Also, it might help to know your motherboard brand, model, and BIOS version, as well as the chipset driver version you’re using. Sometimes the power supply can be the issue, especially if it isn’t sufficient. What’s the ATX version of your PSU?
500W might be on the lower side for running a 3060. If you’re adding more components like HDDs, that could push it to the limit. I’d recommend getting a PSU that provides at least 60% more than you need for better efficiency. A little extra power overhead can make a huge difference!
What are your system specs? It sounds like you’ve already swapped a lot of parts, but did you make sure to uninstall and update your GPU drivers? Also, updating your motherboard BIOS might help if you haven’t done that yet. Just curious, but is your CPU from the 14900K series?
