Solved PC Quick Flash(?)

Hello everyone and/or anyone,

This is my first time posting to this site so forgive me if I mess up;

Before I start I will list my parts to make things somewhat more simple:
Case: Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
CPU Cooler: CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX
PSU: CORSAIR RM Series RM750 80 PLUS GOLD (2019)
RAM: VENGEANCE RGB PRO 32GB (4x 8GB)
OS: Windows 10 Home Edition
C Drive: Corsair Force MP600
Storage Devices: 2x SAMSUNG 870 EVO Series 2.5" 1TB
GPU 1: ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti V2 8GB
GPU 2: ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC 12GB
WiFi Adapter: TP-Link AC600 USB WiFi Adapter for PC (Archer T2U Plus)
Audio/Headphones: Hyper X Cloud 2 Wireless

I have recently encountered a problem with my PC. Just last week I had installed a "ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC 12GB" to my PC, mainly to have more VRAM to mess around in 3D Programs, and so the 3D programs doesn't eat up my VRAM on my 3060ti while I game. I had expected my PC to act funky for a few days after driver and firmware downloads, however a new problem has emerged. Every now and then it's almost like my hardware would quickly restart or power would stop for a very quick second, here's the thing, the PC wouldn't turn off or blackout. I use Corsair's iCue for fan, RAM, keyboard, cooling, motherboard color, and GPU for color themes, just a detail I should add. Anyways here is what would happen:

PC boots up like usual, then, sometimes after 10-15 minutes: My internet would fully disconnect (as if there is no WiFi adapter, not lose connection, with the adapter still there), the fans that are not connect to the CPU cooler would change to a default white/teal color, and my GPU and motherboard would default to the RGB color. My audio would also act like the WiFi adapter, it uses a USB dongle to connect and would act like it was pulled out. After about 30 seconds it would reconnect to the internet as if the WiFi adapter was plugged back in, audio would reconnect, but the colors of fans, GPU, and MB would stay the same (white/teal and RGB).

I installed the driver I believe I have for the GPU, is there anything I should have messed with in the BIOS or other firmware/software? I am really at a loss.

first up - g'day and welcome to the forum.

a new BIOS version for that motherboard came out in March this year, it doesn't mention improved GPU support for new cards but does say it addresses security vulnerabilities in Ryzen CPU's, so may be worthwhile getting on that basis alone.

Let’s get your complete PC specs.
get Speccy from here; https://www.piriform.com/speccy/builds
in Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot (hit Yes if prompted to proceed with publish) > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
now you can paste (Ctrl+V) that link into your next post.

Thank you for the welcome, I was sure I had done the BIOS update in March. But I had just done another one in case, it has been about 40-45 minutes and so far so good. I do believe this was the solution, but (if I need to, please let me know) I can update the forum if anything changes or it happens again, or if nothing happens for a set amount of time (1 hour, 2 hours, 24 hours, etc.) I am so sorry for overlooking a simple mistake; However thank you so much for replying and reminding me.

No I have not, but i will be sure to keep and eye on them, thank you for pointing this out.

I do want to return to the forum and say that my PC has not repeated the same mistakes ever since the BIOS update (which I thought I did but I was a dum-dum haha), I do thank ya;ll for the help however. If there is a survey or if there is anything I need to do please let me know.
