I'm not sure about the BIOS version you're using. Have you checked if you've updated the BIOS during setup? When your system crashes, do you see any error messages or just a black screen?

The bios are current. Occasionally I encounter error messages (blue screens), but most of the time it just turns black. I also missed installing the iCue program for my CPU cooler, so I’ll check if that caused the issue. It seems to be the likely cause. My CPU temperatures were extremely high.

It keeps crashing, possibly due to a motherboard problem. The CMOS battery isn’t accessible, which might affect performance. The CPU is overheating—currently spinning at 3100 RPM, but unclear what’s causing the issue.

Thanks for the quick response. That was a bit confusing—did you actually forget to use thermal paste during assembly, or is there another reason? With a proper cooler in place, temperatures shouldn’t rise so high.
