Windows 10 Computer crashes during gaming

My computer keeps restarting while playing video games, but not while browsing Chrome or other applications. I've been monitoring temperatures while running Heaven Benchmark at high settings, and the CPU doesn't get hotter than low 70's, and the GPU doesn't get higher than mid 60's. I've updated my bios and drivers, and I've tried 2 different PSUs.

The most recent crash gave me this in the event viewer:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xffff81831d753028, 0x00000000bc000800, 0x0000000001010135).
 
Bugcheck translate as hardware so a losse cable, faultly disc, overclocking etc... it normally isn't just a driver issue unless the software is for some other type of device

Since my computer only restarts while playing video games (Valorant, Hitman, etc), would it be possible for the issue to be a CPU issue as well? I've never overclocked, and I don't see any loose cables.

Bugcheck 124 can relate to overheating issues especially when gaming. Monitior your temps using something like HWiNFO64 and if need be clear out any dust.
 
If you can post the actual dump file that would be great.

Have you noticed any plumes of green smoke ascending out through the exhaust ports on your laptop? I ask that because the next door neighbor who lives about 300 miles from here reported this although I'm not sure what he was doing to have the cpu get that hot.

No smoke from my desktop

My computer restarted again today, and I have the dump file, but unsure how to send it here. I copied and pasted all the text it showed me. I don't believe im overheating because neither GPU or CPU temps go over low 70's under load.

Thanks but really need the actual dump file, can you post to a file sharing site and post the link?

Try running these scans in meantime:

Open an admin command prompt or windows terminal, type:

sfc /scannow

press enter

After the above scan has finished type:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

press enter.

I ran both of the scans to nothing new, and I uploaded one of my dumps to onedrive.

My computer also has crashed once more since then, and I got these 2 errors in the event viewer this time.

1.
A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Bus/Interconnect Error
Processor APIC ID: 10

The details view of this entry contains further information.

2. The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xffffcd074b628028, 0x00000000bc800800, 0x00000000060c0859). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: bfb409c6-ead3-4bcd-a525-85d3182e3cef.

Here is the dump file for this second crash: 081222-10343-01.dmp

If you're getting crashes during high-end gaming, you have several options. Games running on your system are more demanding than ever before, and the requirements are high. Most newer games require 1GB of RAM and a dual-core CPU. You've got to have a decent graphics card, too, but that's not all. When it comes to gaming, your computer is only as good as the PSU (power supply unit) that supplies it with power. If you're running a 1GB system, a 400W PSU is just not going to cut it. The computer is not just a processor, and it's hard to get a cheap PSU that will power your system and not overheat. and also check out my blog Apksvilla

Its not only high end games that crash, which is the strange part. I've played lots of Cities: Skylines without issues, but csgo causes restarts every once and a while, and I would assume Cities Skylines is more demanding than cs
