Hello, I've been working on fixing my PC for several days without success. Every time I power it on, it starts normally but after about five minutes it freezes into a black screen and then loops back. Sometimes it loops for a few minutes before returning to Windows, other times it stays in the loop and boots into recovery, and occasionally it just gets stuck on the black screen. The CPU temperatures are normal, sitting between 30-40°C. I haven't installed any software or made any changes, yet the PC still crashes when idle. This is my first time running a fresh Windows install, so no programs are already running. I've replaced almost every component—CPU, RAM, motherboard, PSU—and even after deleting everything from my drives and reinstalling Windows, the issue persists. I've also rebuilt the system from scratch to ensure everything is connected properly. Right now I'm unsure what to check next since it doesn't trigger a crash or BSOD. When it began acting up, I just installed a brand new CPU and motherboard (Ryzen 7 5700X, ASUS ROG B550-F Gaming Wi-Fi 2). Any advice on troubleshooting would be really helpful.

Consider testing in safe mode and inspecting Event Viewer for any hints in the logs that could clarify the issue. The ongoing problem despite replacing all components seems unusual—check if you're using the same configuration. Running the hardware on a bench might help determine if the fault lies elsewhere.
