Random freezing on Windows 10

I have been having this problem for a while now, although it doesn't happen that often. What happens is that, sometimes, even while idle my PC just freezes. If sound is playing, it continues for a little and then this horrendous sound start playing. I have reinstalled windows.
I don't think it's the graphics card, since it happens even while doing light tasks. I updated my drivers recently, but it didn't fix it. There isn't a specific moment that it started happening.
Hardware:
AMD Ryzen 2200G
Gigabyte RX 570 4GB
Samsung EVO 860 250GB
HyperX 2666 MHz 8GB memory
ASRock ab350m motherboard
Corsair 450 watt psu
I have tried reinstalling windows, no results. Driver updates didn't do anything either. PSU did work correctly for half a year now, maybe it's starting to fail? Haven't done any hardware upgrades recently. I am planning to get a new graphics card.
Any ideas? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

It just crashed, Only error in the last minute or so was event 41, Kernel-Power: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

It doesn't show anything at this point in time, I could leave it on until it crashes but I don't think it'll show anything.

It's not a Windows crash, then. If I needed to guess, I would most likely point to the video driver (load is not a factor). Download your driver from here. How much RAM does the video card have (see link)?
