My specs are: Motherboard: MSI B650 Tomahawk WIFI (latest Bios) RAM: 32GB G.Skill X Flare 6000 CL30 CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x PSU: Corsair RM 850x Shift GPU: GTX 1050 (my old gpu, waiting till i have the money for new one) So I built this PC a few days ago and everything worked flawlessly so far. But a few minutes ago I was downloading something on steam and then both my screens went black, the PC rebooted (without windows reboot screen) and the red CPU LED turned on, and was still on while my pc was running again. My WIFI also crashed. (maybe that is somehow connected to the pc crashing?). Now i turned the PC off myself and booted it again and the CPU LED is off now, but I'm still worried about this. Is there any way to find out where this came from and if anything is wrong with my CPU?

You're unsure about what occurred, but consider adjusting the CMOS battery. This action can reset BIOS settings and might resolve the issue, though it's unlikely if it happened while using the computer. Worth a try.

Your CPU might be overheating because of the high download speed. (Since Steam decompresses files using the CPU, a strong internet connection can lead to full CPU usage.) You can check hardware information and monitor CPU temperatures. Ideally they should stay below 80°C or 176°F. If the CPU reaches around 100°C or 212°F it will shut down to avoid damage.

It doesn<|pad|>'s think the issue isn't overheating because I didn’t notice fans getting louder. During stress tests it hits thermal throttling and stays around 95°C, which is typical for Ryzen 5 7000 chips, and it doesn’t crash.
