Computer reboot after waking up from sleep mode

Please help me out, I recently got this computer and the only problem I've had with it is that upon waking up from Sleep mode, it will force restart after about 10-15 seconds. This only occurs after the computer wakes up from Sleep mode. Hibernate mode does not have this issue.

AMD Ryzen 7 7700 8-Core Processor

32GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

I have tried changing various things in my settings, including the virtual memory size (which i changed back to the automatic settings after it didn't make a difference). The Reliability Monitor shows this as a "critical event" but all the description says is "The previous system shutdown at 2:30:41 PM on ‎2/‎5/‎2026 was unexpected." The 'shutdown' is just the time the computer entered Sleep mode.

I am at a total loss as to what I should do, and am trying to see if I can fix whatever the problem is myself before bringing it in. (Which I'll do if it comes to that)

    The issue you're experiencing, where your computer forces a restart after waking up from Sleep mode, is a common problem that can be caused by various factors such as driver issues, power settings, or system glitches.

    As an update, I have tried turning off fast startup. I made sure Windows 11 is up to date. I installed the latest NVIDIA display driver. None of these things have helped.
