PC randomly shuts down while playing online games only, can play triple AAA titles just fine.
This problem has been pestering for almost a year now. My PC will randomly shut down during any online game (Risk of Rain, CS:GO, Dead by Daylight, Rocket League, Dota 2 and Terraria). The thing is I can play any triple titles completely fine with no PC shut downs (The Last of Us Part 1, Returnal, RDR2 and Hogwarts Legacy).
I've thoroughly stress tested and benchmarked my CPU, GPU and RAM using a variety of tools (memtest, OCCT, FurMark and Prime95). I've monitored my thermals and everything is complety normal (Highest being 90\*C on my GPU, which is apparently fine for this stock GPU). I've tried reinstalling Windows 10 and even updated to Windows 11. I've tried a bunch of fixes which helped other people such as:
\- System File Checker tool
\- Disabling XMP profile
\- Updating bios, drivers, etc
\- Disabling Precision Boost Overdrive
I've been thinking that it could be the PSU being the culprit, during power spikes in online games it could just shutdown my PC. What I don't understand is, why doesn't it shut down my PC during heavy triple AAA titles? Should that not draw more power than these online games? I'm at a loose end, any help or feedback would be greately appreciated.

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite
