Why does my PC shut down while playing certain low-end games?

Hey everyone, I'm having a weird issue with my PC. It just shuts off randomly when I play some low-end games, and I can't figure out why. Here are my specs:
- GPU: RTX 3060
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
- RAM: 2 sticks of DDR4 16GB 3200MHz
- PSU: Corsair TX850M
- Motherboard: MPG B550 GAMING PLUS

The games that cause this problem are 'Schedule 1,' where it shuts down just when I'm near the warehouse area, and 'Megabonk,' which is a meme-styled 3D vampire survivors game, and I'm unsure what triggers it. I've checked for error codes or crash reports, and I've even wiped my PC, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?

If your PC is suddenly shutting off without any error messages, your power supply could be failing. It’s a common issue, especially if it only happens during those specific games.

True, but that doesn't explain why it only happens in those two games. Like I mentioned, it only shuts down in one specific area of 'Schedule 1.'

It sounds like your CPU might be overheating and powering down to protect itself. I’d recommend checking your temperatures while gaming or running benchmarks to see if that's the case.
