New PC suddenly completely freezes in games

Hello everybody!
I recently built a new PC:

  • Motherboard: Maxsun Terminator B760ITX D4 WIFI
  • Processor: Intel Core i5 Alder Lake
  • RAM: Kingston Fury Beast DDR4 2x16GB
  • Case with Power Supply: NZXT H1 650W
  • SSD: Kingston Fury Renegade SFYRSK/1000G
  • GPU: RTX 3060
Everything works great, but... sometimes, while playing games, the computer completely freezes (IO is disabled), and the only solution is to restart (hold power button). If there was sound playing in the game at that moment, the sound also freezes and loops ("a" turns into an endless "aaa" and so on), the image on the monitor freezes too. I played without this issue for about a week, then experienced it five times in one day. Obviously, it's a serious hardware problem

There are no obvious patterns or reasons for the freezes, it happens absolutely chaotic, and the event viewer has no records about any errors, it is just Kernel 41 which tells that the system was shut down incorrect.
This crash happens very often in PUBG, but other games such as CS2/Tarkov also has it.
GPU doesn't go above 70 (it is near 50 almost all the time), and the CPU stays around 40 on average.
CPU has no overclocking, RAM has no XMP.
TRIED:
Windows Memory Diagnostics
CPU and GPU stress-test
Victoria SSD check
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth + sfc /scannow
and, ofc, chatGPT.
