PC Random Restarts Issue (12900K)

System specs:

Motherboard: ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO
BIOS:Version 3802

CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900K, 3200 Mhz, 16 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 FE

Ok so lately I been having issues with my PC where it will randomly restart ONLY while playing games and at that its certain games that use alot of resources I guess. So I thought and a few said it could be my RAM so I went and got new DDR5 Gskill RAM 6400mt 32gb and still here and there restarts. So idk what to do because a few said might be PSU or might be the CPU is getting to much voltage from mobo so I figured I would ask here for a few opinions.

I was gonna try to lower voltage and see if that was the issue in bios but all the asus bios on youtube I see about doing so well they are back from 2020/2021 ect and they changed alot of things in it since then.

Another reason I was here was to ask where the CPU Core Voltage setting/option was because I don't see it but I do see this

TOOK from another thread that I saw from here that led me to register.

Hi @itsjustxo 

Spontaneous restarts are normally synonymous with power-related issues. While playing games, use HWINFO to inspect the PSU rails for any significant dips. Please note that whilst the readings provided from the embedded controller are fairly accurate, software readings may not reflect the real world voltage.
