That's a strange issue with your hardware!
That's a strange issue with your hardware!
From what you shared, it seems like a booting issue is present. There are signs of excessive voltage being applied to the chip, especially if a standard cooler is used. The temperature readings during idle in the BIOS suggest it’s getting hot under load, which likely leads to crashes and failed boot attempts that can damage an OS installation. The real concern is the temperatures while the system runs tasks—what you see in the BIOS doesn’t reflect actual operation. Booting an OS is particularly challenging because it requires all components to be properly configured. If the CPU overheats during startup, it may stop working and fail repeatedly, eventually halting the process entirely. Try lowering the CPU voltage manually in the BIOS to around 1.25–1.27 volts and observe if that resolves the problem.
I'm using liquid cooling with an aio cooler. The CPU voltage should be set to default unless specified otherwise. After recently flashing my BIOS and resetting the CMOS, I left some thermal paste on. During testing, after removing the cooler twice for inspection, the paste didn't spread evenly, which might account for the 47 degrees of idle temperature—still quite acceptable for a Ryzen 7 5800X.
In a nuts or another way, I shared my original post in the open AI botGPT and here is his reply:
Based on what you shared, it seems like your computer might have a hardware problem. The fact that you managed to install and boot Windows on your SSD with another machine indicates the SSD and Windows setup aren’t the root cause. The steps you followed—like resetting the CMOS battery and updating the UEFI firmware—were also helpful troubleshooting actions. Since other possibilities have been checked, the most probable sources are your motherboard or CPU. It’s possible either one or both are defective, leading to the issues you’re facing.
To better understand what’s going on, you could test with a different motherboard and CPU to see if the problem persists. If it disappears then you can be sure the issue lies with the original parts. Another potential factor is a failing power supply unit (PSU). The PSU supplies power to all components, so a malfunction could explain your symptoms. You might try using a different PSU to determine if that resolves the problem.
In short, it likely points to hardware faults—motherboard, CPU, or PSU. Try swapping parts to narrow down the cause and consider professional assistance if needed.
It starts to resemble a CPU or board issue, possibly related to RAM if you're using the same sticks throughout. Ryzen processors typically run best at voltages between 1.20 and 1.27 volts at stock settings. Since you lowered it, that was helpful, but I think you may have overshot. As long as it functions, it's acceptable. However, in your situation it doesn't work. I recommend adjusting it back to around 1.25 volts and testing further. Do you have another component to evaluate? Even a simpler one can help determine if the problem lies with the chip or the drive. While the drive you're using might be fine elsewhere, using a different drive would confirm whether the issue is with the current one. If it behaves similarly then the drive is likely the culprit. Identifying the real cause is crucial, which is why I'm offering these steps now. It's frustrating to hunt for problems, but sometimes you have to follow the process. I'll monitor this thread to track the next actions.
We're talking about an OC/UC setup, not building around temperatures. Focus on setting the stock bus and voltage. Use fans to control temps. I'll consider those components if you don't need them. For a higher stock speed, you'll get a better CPU—AMD remains more affordable than Intel.
I hope this resolves the issue for you. Please inform me of the outcome.
