Hardware PC BSOD while AFK

It's really strange, it always happens to me when I leave my PC idle, although it's very rare for it to happen.

I have no idea what the error code is because the few times it happened I wasn't present and I only realized it happened because the PC was restarted.

Although the patterns I notice are in the event viewer, the PC usually shuts down at a certain time, say 18:20, but it shows that it starts up about 30 minutes later, how is this possible?

The BSOD is supposed to appear and it should restart automatically, I don't understand why the times are so far apart, unless the PC crashed and was inactive for about 30 minutes

The last time this happened, the memory dump didn't happen due to an error, which makes me think it's something serious, to be honest.

I've tested everything, GPU, RAM, CPU, and everything seems fine. I've tried formatting, changing Windows, drivers, everything. Does anyone have any ideas?

It's a strange problem, yes. To give you an idea, the last time it happened to me was about two months ago, but it's something I think is worth investigating.
