#Random reboots out of the blue on Windows 11

My PC randomly just reboots out of the blue for apparently no reason that I can figure out.

I thought it was because of the Hyper X headset drivers that used to crash my computer back on Windows 10, which I then fixed by disabling those drivers and never had that problem again.

I have tried clean installing Windows 11, and after disabling the same drivers on Windows 11 it just keeps crashing and rebooting straight back into Windows.

There have also not been any hardware changes since upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Specs:

CPU: Intel i9-7920X

PSU: ASUS ROG Strix 1000 W

GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO (latest available driver)

RAM: 2x G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 C14 DC - 32GB

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X299-E Gaming, S-2066 (BIOS version 3701 23/05/22)

And just for good measure here is my headset: HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset.

My system has never been overclocked, XMP is enabled in BIOS.

I'm also unable to find anything useful in the Event Viewer after it has crashed.

I mainly play two games on my computer: World of Warcraft and Rimworld, even when just surfing the web with no games running it will sometimes crash and reboot back into Windows.

I'm at my wits ends here.

This is a hard crash, straight to black right?

#

How often?

Correct! It can't really say a real number :/ Sometimes it occurs ~5 minutes after booting into Windows, other times it can go 8 hours or even more before this happens.

More often than not, a hard crash like that is a power issue more than a driver/software issue

#

But idle/browsing is an odd time for it to happen

I just checked all power related cables in the computer and they all sit correct

I mean power draw/power delivery, not the physical connections

Is there a way to check this? Do you know of a better program than Event Viewer?

It could also be the HyperX headset, their drivers have caused this kind of problem for many people using Windows before.
