Hi, I bought a PC round 5 months ago and after 5 days from buying it the PC started rebooting itself while playing games or doing a complex render.
all I found out bout the problem is that it's prob cause of System Failure and I wanna know what's the most common problem a PC can have that causes System Failure?
it restarts randomly
sometimes in 10 mins sometimes in an hour or sometimes even in 12 hours and etc.
My PC RTX 3060 12gb
I5 11th gen unlocked
Z460 motherboard bios is updated ofc
16gb of DDR4 RAM
it's a budget PC but I didn't expect this bad results.
I wanna know if I have to change any part or I have to take it to an expert
Thanks.

I played guild wars 2 for a long time and it restarted after 10 hours
