Check the temperature inside your computer when it is running like this.
Since you are the one there, you will have to do some testing to see
what causes this the most. I am going to lean toward an overheating
power supply or something overheating.

Hi,

Possible overheating.
Check all the fans including chassis fans,ATX power Supply Unit fan(s), CPU fan, Vedio card GPU fan, etc.

Make sure ventilation inside the chassis is good enough for heat dispensation.
