When setting up this system, did you carry out a complete and pristine Windows setup? Or were you using a reused install from earlier? Have you verified your memory using a diagnostic tool such as memtest?

I attempted both methods, used the previous version, then did a complete clean install afterward. Also, ran the memtest on my RAMs. I'm wondering why, when in safemode, my PC doesn't restart or cause a crash—only in normal mode, sometimes it works perfectly, like right now, and I've been using it for two hours without any issues.

The safe mode situation points to a possible driver problem. It might also reflect a genuine hardware fault, such as when a driver activated all device features.

What CPU cooler model are you utilizing? Also, do you possess an alternative GPU available for testing purposes? Have you thought about launching the system using a Live Linux distribution to evaluate performance on another operating system?

I'm using the Cooling Aura Flow X 240. CPU and GPU temperatures are within normal ranges when idle and during games. I haven't considered switching to another operating system; I've been using Windows and don't know how it would work otherwise.

You don't actually set up the operating system, you simply use a USB drive. No changes are made to your SSD or HDD.
This method helps isolate potential hardware problems.
I suggest trying Mint: https://linuxmint.com/
You'll get used to the interface right away.
Download the ISO file and use an app such as Rufus to copy it onto a USB drive. Start your computer from the USB. That's essentially all you need to do.
AMD compatibility is solid.

Alright! I plan to try it tomorrow, since here in our country it's already 12am in the morning. Thank you for the advice! I'll get back to you if I notice any improvements.
