PC freezing for ~2 minutes, then restarts. happening often
Since moving with my computer to a new apartment (unsure if related but including all the details), it's been doing this strange thing where it freezes up, the cursor disappears, and after a minute or two it shuts off and restarts. There is no BSOD, but it's creating a memory dump and kernel power error which seems the same to me. (If there's somewhere more appropriate to post this, please let me know.) The place I am now is hotter, so maybe that could be related, but the temps all look normal (55c max) in HWMonitor. I built this PC to run games, but haven't played much and it hasn't happened while a game is running. It usually does it when I'm not doing much actually. Anyway, hope someone could help me get my computer to not crash again before my online classes start in a bit. Thanks!
Windows 10 64bit version 2004

Btw I'm fully aware I'm running a slightly older NVIDIA driver since the latest is incompatible with a game I play. (I don't think this is the issue since I was running it for ~3 weeks prior just fine.) I just went ahead and used DDU to completely uninstall in safe mode and installed the latest driver. I also uninstalled the latest updates (besides the security update since uninstall isn't an option for it) that installed on 8/11, the day after I moved. Going to keep using my computer like normal and see if it happens again. 🤞
