What's wrong with my PC?

Ever since I got my PC 2 years ago (I bought it as is) every now and then it simply restarts.
There is no rhyme or reason to it, no matter how long it's been running (sometimes it works for hours and sometimes it reboots every 10 minutes, or even before I even get to the Windows homescreen), what's it doing (can be in the middle of a game or simply while watching YT) and even the weather does not really matter (so I doubt it's overheating when it's only 15°C/59°F outside).
Aside from HWiNFO I've ran mt86 which came up with no errors after 4 passes.
And truth be told, I don't know enough to make heads or tails from this report.
Hope someone smarter than me can help.

P.S.: Also attaching the report in case the link doesn't work.

How does the reboot look like? Do you get a BSOD? If so, what does it say? You might be able to get the error code and perhaps even the triggering driver via NirSoft BlueScreenView.

Which PSU do you have?

Did you try to update the BIOS? The report you posted says you have version 2006; the ASUS website lists several newer versions.

There is literally nothing. My screen goes black for a second (as does my keyboard & mouse) and then you can hear my fans spinning as they always do when the PC (re)boots. No error message, nothing.

I bought the PC pre-built but will enquire with the shop where I bought it, as I don't have any more infor at the moment.

I have now and only time will tell if that really helped, but since I bought it in July 2021 and the pre-installed driver was from March 2021 I somehow doubt that would be the problem as the rebooting was an issue basically right from the start and I don't think there'd be a new BIOS in that timeframe. Pretty sure I checked that sometime in those 2 years already, but hey, it's not like updating it will have any disadvantage.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, I'll provide more info as soon as I can and will update you if the BIOS update made the problem disappear
