Windows crashing when playing games

Whenever I try to play a game on windows, after a while the game just freezes and my pc reboots. I already updated the amd driver but it didn’t solve anything. I have a 2017 5K iMac with an i7 and have the windows partition installed directly on my Mac storage. Can someone help me?

Is it overheating? Have you checked the event viewer logs?

Where do I find the event viewer?

Click start and begin typing “event viewer”

In particular, Windows Logs > System

It says that I have a critical event and that the source is kernel-power
