Hello, my setup includes a Ryzen 5 3600 with MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, 2x 8GB Corsair RAM, an RTX 2060, a Corsair CV 650 PSU, and I built it last year. It functioned perfectly until recently. A few days ago, the system would power on and then shut down instantly, even while I was working inside the PC. After the sudden restart, the CPU LED on the motherboard came on. Can you help me fix this problem?

It seems there could be a problem with overheating or overclocking. Do you have a cooler? How does the airflow work in your setup? Have you reset the BIOS and disabled PBO? Also, is your BIOS currently updated?

I own the stock cooler included with the CPU. I believe airflow isn’t an issue. I’ll attempt to disable the PBO and submit the update here. Appreciate your advice.

Hey there! Yes, I've encountered the same issue with nearly identical specifications before. Any ideas on how to resolve it?
