Hi, I just ran into this problem. I was playing MH Wilds on a brand new rig that I only bought three months ago and it suddenly hung up right when switching to alt-tab. The cursor moved but everything else froze completely. After restarting the PC, it wouldn't turn on at all. When I checked what the screen showed, both the CPU light and the DRAM light were on the motherboard. I took out my RAM sticks one by one without changing them, that didn't help. Then I opened up the computer case to look inside and found no obvious damage with the CPU. But then I put back all three of those memory slots and put the cooler back in place. To my surprise, it finally worked! What was going on? EDIT: After rebooting, I checked the BIOS settings and they were reset. Will this happen again? Is there a problem somewhere? Everything is new and bought 3 months ago. The motherboard is an MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk WiFi with model number MS-7E12. The CPU is an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D from Gskill, and the RAM is DDR5.

Since you fixed things while testing, the parts got warm enough to let you know what went wrong. That warmth might tell you where the issue is.

I looked at my computer again and found that the BIOS had been turned off. I don't think it was getting too hot, because even when I ran it normally, the CPU only got up to about sixty-five or seventy degrees Celsius.
