    Ok in that case there are no logs created in your system after the crash so I suggest you follow the below fix to resolve the system crashing issue.

    Step 1:

    Go to search box next to windows icon and type Edit Power Plan

    Step 2:

    Then click on Change advanced power settings

    Step 3:

    Expand Harddisk and then expand Turn off hard disk after

    Step 4:

    Set value for On battery and Plugged into 0 (Zero)

    Step 5:

    Click/tap on Apply and then press OK.

    Step 6:

    Restart the PC

    Let me know the status after performing the above and if in case it doesn't solve the issue will provide you with further fixes.

    I hate to be a barer of bad news, but after my years building PCs, I can tell you that 95% of the time a PC crashes after a heavy load is started its because the CPU voltage is too low to handle 100% of usage. I know my rig cant handle a video encode without switching to 3.5GHz from 3.9.

    Since your CPU is not unlocked, my recommendation would be to try to downclock the CPU if you can, or try another CPU.

    What's the voltage look like while idle? And have to tried opening the Event viewer? Maybe it caught something.

    Just to confirm you mean to say after applying the above settings you are still facing the issue.
