On the cheaper side, I could get

When my PC is under load for more than two minutes, all USB devices and network connections stop working. However, devices connected directly to my monitor continue to function. I'm running Windows 11. Most likely motherboard issue or any other ideas?

BIOS Update
Switched PSU
Installed Windows on separate drive

Motherboard: B550 AORUS ELITE V2
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X
