Shutting down (and rebooting shortly after) issues

I've installed Arch on the 20th of december, so about a month ago. Back then everything was fine, and then ~2  weeks later I started getting random shutdowns. Sometimes when the internet went off (I have a Wi-Fi adapter, D-Link DWA-131 Rev. E) the PC would also shutdown, and turn back on after ~3 seconds. I then tried using this module(/driver?), which made the shutdowns stop for a while. Now they're happening again, and sometimes when it shuts down, it will reboot, and shortly after (a few seconds) it could shutdown again. Every log file from the boot in which this happens gets corrupted, so I can't provide that. It also shuts down if I have, for example, only Discord open. Though shutdowns happen more often when I'm playing CS2 (almost guaranteed within ~30 minutes)
Processor: Intel Core i5-4570 3.4 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (with NVIDIA proprietary drivers)
Motherboard: H81M-P33
RAM: 8GB DDR3 (not sure about the model, but those are 2 sticks with 4GB each)
Kernel: 6.12.10-arch1-1
Other things: X server with KDE Plasma 6.2.5 using SDDM

That escalated quickly - what made you think the root cause is the network driver? Post `journalctl -b -1` directly after a crash. Most commonly shutdowns on high load (such as playing CS2) are either CPU or GPU related.

Re: Shutting down (and rebooting shortly after) issues

First question: The internet it was connected to being dead every time it shutdown (checking that on a phone, internet did not work until the PC restarted, then it started working again?) made me think it's something related to that.
Multiple attempts to view the last log with journalctl just showed the last clean shutdown's log (either that or the last messages didn't even acknowledge any kind of error)
Also, today after plugging a pendrive in, the shutdown also happened, so I unplugged and plugged it back in (into the same port). Right after the bios splash screen it shut down again. Placing this pendrive into a different port makes it work fine.

Post a complete `journalctl -b -1` from after a crash anyway. It's a complete guessing game for us otherwise.
