The system crashes when playing any game between 10-15 minutes.

All my drivers are up to date, I did update my BIOS to the latest version I'm not sure if the issue started after updating the BIOS

Nothing is overclocked I disabled XMP but no joy

What would you suggest, downgrading the BIOS?

Ah, they might she but I can't see it in mobile view.

Have you looked at the error logs or done a memory test

Presume it's fine when doing other works like spreadsheets and internet surfing etc just games it's crashing
 
I can use the mouse but clicking trying to perform an action does not do anything the sound goes off I have to turn the power off or reset

Could this be a BIOS problem?

Since you recently updated your BIOS and the freeze does leave some kind of responsiveness rather than a 100% hard crash/freeze, I'd suggest updating your chipset drivers. AGESA updates can cause incompatibility issues with old software.

Do you run anything else alongside NZXT CAM like motherboard software? I'd try deleting/updating that too.

If the system hasn't actually fully frozen/crashed you might be able to get something useful out of the event viewer (check timestamps just before/around/after the crash).

It seems like this is happening no matter what I'm doing after about 15 minutes the system freezes even if I don't do anything and the monitor goes into standby I have to restart the system

I am running a memory test and will check event viewer

It could be a bug on the newer BIOS with the PCIE management and something being sent to sleep?
