Hey guys. I have the following specs:
5800X3D
6700 XT
32GB DDR4-3600
B550I Gaming Edge Wifi
Kraken X53 Cooler
1TB Samsung 990 NVME SSD
1TB Micron NVME SSD
1TB Samsung 860 (SATA)

Corsair SF-600 Gold

Sometimes my PC will for seemingly no reason just hard reboot when playing heavy games that max out my GPU usage. I have swapped the GPU & RAM out, to no avail. I am wondering if maybe the PSU cannot keep up. Do you guys think that could be likely?

Maybe try power limiting the GPU to rule out the PSU being the culprit.

Checked temperatures?

Download furmark (ideally furmark 1)

get hwinfo64
and get cinebench off the msft store

launch cinebench, start a multicore test, then boot up furmark and run a stress test

those two should...pretty much be worst case power consumption

hwinfo64 can be used to monitor temps while you do this upswag
