PC shutdowns

Question

My PC is relatively new. I've had some issues with it while playing some larger games at first (mainly crashing to desktop, sometimes full PC shutdowns) but it all seemed to settle down once I reinstalled my GPU drivers.

I had one PC shutdown a little after the new drivers, but it did not occur again for quite some time.

However it has shutdown two more times recently.

After the last shutdown, my game performance did not recover and instead started crashing to desktop within a few minutes and eventually refused to load/work on startup.

My PC couldn't complete sfc /scannow and DISM restorehealth commands, saying it didn't have the repair content. Once I restarted the PC, they started to work again. So I went through those and restarted again.

My games are still crashing to desktop within a few minutes though.

Event viewer shows a few error messages for my game and a ton for EdgeGameAssist.exe with the faulting module Windows.UI.Xaml.dll. There are other errors saying "SCEP Certificate enrollment initialization failed" and "Config Read Failed".

Can someone tell me what is causing these problems and how I can resolve it?

I'm also curious if it's normal for sfc /scannow or DISM to find repairable files roughly every month or so?

Your minidump files all indicate that it is the drivers on your AMD graphics that is causing the system to crash

I understand you have updated those drivers, the best option is to completely remove the current AMD graphics driver using the widely available free DDU utility, then restart your PC and go to the AMD website to download and install a couple of slightly older versions of the drivers they provide to find a version that is stable on your system.
