I checked the system details and everything appears to be brand new. I attempted to modify memory settings or replace the drive, but the issue persists. I suspect a possible temporary glitch and considered switching to liquid cooling. I also replaced the hard drive with an SSD, yet random crashes and restarts continue. My current build uses ASUS TUF Gaming x570 Plus with Wi-Fi, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, 16 GB RAM, and a 1 TB Samsung SSD. Running Windows 10 Home Edition.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if further information is required.
The first thoughts are about drivers, including chipsets. Then consider bent or broken CPU pins. Next, think about the mounting pressure of the AIO. After eliminating these, try a BIOS update.
