Random restarts after playing a game -maybe a RAM issue- please help

[red_head_redemption]

Hey, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have a very confusing problem that I hope someone can help me with.

So after playing a game for some time, like over an hour (any game doesn’t seem to matter which one), once I close the game and go do some low-intensity activity like browsing on Chrome or Steam, the screen will just go black and my PC will automatically reboot. I have done lots of tinkering and tried to sort it out. It seems to happen when I have my four sticks of 16GB RAM in, and then the problem doesn’t seem to occur once I put in a different set of RAM—two sticks of 8GB each. I have sent the 64GB set off and got them replaced thanks to RMA, but still, it hasn’t fixed the issue.

Today as soon as I closed Helldivers 2 and whilst discord was still on while talking to friends my PC did the restart and afyer that staright back into working as normal.

My build is:

[ul]
[li]RTX 3080[/li][li]AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor @ 3.80 GHz[/li][li]NZXT motherboard B550[/li][li]64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO SL 2600MHz[/li][/ul]
Thanks, and any help will be greatly appreciated

Let’s get your complete PC specs.
Get Speccy; Speccy - Download Builds
In Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot (hit Yes if prompted to proceed with publish) > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
Now you can paste that link into your next post.

Speccy doesn’t show the Power Supply Unit so list the make/model of the PSU.

Is Speccy safe?
