hi, i gotta a weird situation here, in last year, i had buyed a new Computer (the full specs are in my profile)
(tl:dr a B550 Gaming X Motherboard by Gigabyte with a R5 3600x)
but when i game with it, nothing wrong happens, even when i stress the GPU, but when i do use some program who uses 100% of the CPU (like minecraft, yes, java minecraft, the first loading screen to be precise)
there's a high chance the PC might shutdown, which is quite annoying, i tried a bunch of stress tests, sometimes it does shutdown, but sometimes it doesn't, when i disable the turbo clock from the CPU, it still happens, but its more a rare case, tried the PC with a different PSU thinking that was the case, the thing still happend, so in this case, it's the Motherboard right?
i research little about the topic and have seen the power delivery in my mobo isn't one of the best (cheap capacitors)
and no, this only happens when the CPU is hitting it's 90% of usage, indepedent of the usage of the GPU.

make sure its Pro-P and not just the Pro, the latter is an earlier version that suffers from the same/similar issue as the Gaming X.
the "MSI B450 TOmahawk Max II" is dirty cheap here in Brazil, this B450 is any good?
i really dont need b550 MBs at all actually.

Yeah, that was the go-to board that was recommended alongside the 3600 for quite a while. If you don't need PCIe 4.0, then I don't see any reason not to go for it.
