Brand new store bought PC rebooting when playing Overwatch

As the title suggests, I bought this PC a couple days ago. Windows and Graphics drivers are all updates. Also tried to download drivers for the motherboard and was only instructed to download AMD Ryzen Master app that seems to only monitor my PC settings and temps. When I play Overwatch, the game will randomly restart, sometimes during games, sometimes between.
My PC has
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 8-Core Processor (with an integrated Graphics card not in use?)
16384 MB RAM
GeForce RTX 2070 Super graphics card
I tried lowering the graphics in game significantly, I tried setting them to Optimal as per the GeForce Experience app. I updated chipset drivers (I think) Did not want to mess with the BIOS
There was an error I was getting on startup about not having an AMD graphics driver installed, or it wasn't working properly. Found an AMD program and uninstalled it and haven't had the error since. But still crashing. My more knowledgable friends are at a loss. Any help would be appreciated

What motherboard ? What PSU ? If it's a big name brand like Dell, HP etc what model or is it a custom build ?
Motherboard is ASRock B450M
PSU is EVGA 600GD
It is a prebuilt computer from Bestbuy
Question: Why do you have AMD GPU driver when you have a Nvidia GPU? Does your CPU have a built in GPU?

Did you reinstall your GPU driver.

You need to go into the BIOS and disable the onboard GPU.
My GeForce drivers are up to date. I believe the AMD graphics card is built in to the motherboard and is not in use. How do I go into BIOS and disable it?
For on board Graphics you need a Ryzen Cpu with a letter G at the end of it's name, like the 3600G.
So there's should be no need to change anything in the Bios.

I think you should take it back and get a replacement or a refund.
