Windows 11 PC keeps crashing and I can't figure out why
I just got a new PC with specs:
CPU - AMD ryzen 7 9850X3D
MB - ASUS B850-E
RAM - 64gb Corsair Vengeance DDR5
Storage - 2x 2tb SSD
GC - GeForce 5080
PSU - FSP vita GM 1000w Gold
It keeps crashing and I can't figure out why. Usually it is while I am gaming, but depends on the game. Something very intensive like grey zone warfare is fine but less demanding games like Kerbal space program consistently crashes after a random amount of time, there's no specific pattern or reason I can figure out. Crashes will randomly occur when nothing is happening and it's just on its desktop. Temperatures aren't getting too high. Memory checks have turned up nothing. System logs indicate nothing is causing it. I've tried reinstalling windows and wiping the PC and it didn't fix it. I have tried plugging the PC into different ports in my house with no success. If anyone has any suggestions as to what it might be please let me know!

Hi, random crashes on a new high-end build often come from BIOS/RAM stability, GPU drivers, or power delivery. Update BIOS, turn off EXPO/XMP temporarily, and test with the RAM at default speed. Also check Reliability Monitor for crash names, run OCCT or similar stress tests separately for CPU/GPU/PSU, and make sure the GPU power cable is seated correctly
