    PC Crashing when gaming (black screen then reboots)

    Hello friends, I’m having some issues with my new pc, when i’m playing certain games, the pc screen goes black and the pc reboots.
    After some research I’ve found out that a lot of people have the same issue with the same motherboard as mine and I was told that I need to switch my PCIE interface from Gen4 to Gen3 in my BIOS, this should be the fix but when I switch it to Gen3 (PCIE 3.0) it doesn’t really change it because when I open GPUZ (a software that shows all GPU informations) it shows that my PCIE interface is still in Gen4 (4.0).
    I’ve already tried updating my BIOS but it’s still the same.

    So my questions is : How to force my PCIE to be in 3.0 ? My MB : Aorus Z490 MasterGPU : Aorus RTX 3070CPU : I9 10900K

    Thank you guys for your help, i’m quite desperate

    Does your original issue go away? The black screen and reboot?
