got a new pc this year (7900 xtx 7800 x3d) and its been good except for the fact that sometimes my monitor screen goes black for awhile and then the pc restarts. its been happening for awhile now. kind of annoying also worrying. anyone know what it could be? been looking into it for awhile and have no answer.

Sounds like something is unstable and causing the PC to crash. Does it happen only when gaming or also when just on the desktop?
It's often unstable RAM or could be a issue with the GPU.
What exact RAM and motherboard do you have?
Try a bios update.
Try running a memory stability test for at least 20 minutes: https://hcidesign.com/memtest/download.html
Make sure you have the latest GPU drivers installed.
Update the chipset drivers straight from AMD.

As for when it happens, mostly on games but mainly on a game names Valorant. Rarely happens on other guys and maybe happened 1-2 times while on a web browser. been a problem for a few months can’t find any fix so i just try to avoid things that trigger it.
will try your recommendations, thanks!!

Ya seems like a gpu driver issue or issue with the specific game if it mostly happens when playing it, but try all the stuff I recommended. May also be worth repairing or reinstalling Valorant.
Could still be a ram stability issue too. The steps I suggested should help with both.
