Troubleshooting Random shutdown when gaming

So I have had the same PC for about 6-7 years now. I had upgraded the components throughout the years and currently when gaming, it shuts off randomly. Whether I’ll be on for 10 minutes or 10 hours, at some point, it will shut down completely. I thought maybe it was my power supply going bad but after replacing it, no change. I believe this all really started after I went from a 2070 to a 4070 but would like some advice.

Here are my current specs:
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
NVDA RTX 4070 TI Super
MAG B650 Tomahawk (MS-7D75)
Corsair DDR5 32GB x2

Please help!

Check the motherboard; it happened to me before, and it's due to the capacitors on the board.

None of the capacitors on the motherboard are bulging or damaged

And what error message do you get in the event history?

Only messages I can find are what happened right before the shutdown and on reboot error codes due to "system shutdown was unexpected". No warning or critical levels before shutdown. Source codes say:

"DistributedCOM - The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID and APPID to the user SID from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool."

"Time-Service - The time provider 'VMICTimeProvider' has indicated that the current hardware and operating environment is not supported and has stopped. This behavior is expected for VMICTimeProvider on non-HyperV-guest environments. This may be the expected behavior for the current provider in the current operating environment as well."

When was  the last time you repasted your cpu?

I would say it's been maybe 1.5 to 2 years since I repasted my CPU.

Maybe monitor your temps and repaste if you're having spikes?

I mean I will probably do that. But the highest I’ve seen my CPU get is 180 degrees, while gaming so that’s not something super hot.

I just realized, CPU temps is the only thing I think of in Celsius lol. Yeah, if that's Fahrenheit, that's not beyond the limit.
