I've had my PC for four years without any problems, but recently I've been facing a major issue while playing Hades 2. After a few hours of gameplay, my PC shuts down and displays a black screen, and the fans start spinning loudly. I initially thought it was just a thermal paste issue, but this happened twice in one day. I've been enjoying Hades 2 for the past four days, but today was when the problem started. My setup includes an RTX 3090, an Intel 12700k, a 750-watt Thermaltake PSU (80+ Gold), and I play on an LG Ultra Gear 4K 240Hz monitor. By the way, I did just update my drivers today.

You might want to try running FurMark to see if the crash can be replicated. Your PSU might be getting close to its limits, especially if it was just good enough when it was new. If it keeps shutting down, it could be time to consider a replacement.
Since you just updated your drivers, it's worth considering whether the new drivers could be part of the issue. Sometimes updates can create unexpected problems.
If you have a 5-year warranty, it might be a good idea to use that instead of buying a new one. Just make sure the warranty covers the issue you're facing!
