PC Reboots abruptly while playing certain games
My PC crashes randomly when playing certain games.
Most notably recently where Forza Horizon 4 and occasionally Rainbow Six Siege. And has been consistent in the last 2-3 weeks.
Hardware specs : i7-2600, 16 GB DDR3, RTX 2060, SSD & HDD, AX850 Watts
Software: Windows 10 20H2 production build, GPU driver 460.89
Troubleshooting done: GPU driver uninstalled using DDU and reinstalled. The respective games reinstalled.

First couple things that come to mind would be thermals or a poorly seated power connector.
Maybe try running HWMonitor from CPUID while playing games and make sure your CPU stays under 80C and your GPU under 90C as you play. If things are getting hot, you might want to dust your heatsinks and/or reapply thermal paste.
Thanks mate for responding. Is there anyway I can record what is happening. What I am doing now is running FH4 in Window mode and CPUID on the side.
