I've also experienced freezes, but they only last 1-3 seconds and I notice them when hovering over video previews (e.g. in Google) or when hovering over friends in Steam's chat, which brings up an animated preview of their profile. Sometimes this issue goes away, sometimes it comes back. I can't really identify the pattern.
But aside from this, I'm experiecing unexpected restarts when running specific software like the Apple Music W11 app. If you have a sub, maybe you can see if that does anything weird to your system. I spent a lot of time searching, but I haven't encountered anyone ever having the same issue. It does sound a little like what @Dr. Dro described about media decoding, because I only really see it happen in very low load situations with media playback (music). In gaming my system is completely stable. Also when stressing the card a little with GPU-Z's test.
I ran a bunch of troubleshooting, but because the issues didn't happen when using the iGPU or a different (Nvidia) GPU, I sent the 9070 back for repair/replacement. I'm still waiting for an answer from the shop.
