Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
The main issue I'm encountering is that my PC restarts unexpectedly when using it for extended periods. This kind of reboot usually stems from two causes:
1| The system is overheating
2| The power supply isn't delivering enough power under load.
Your PCPP doesn't reflect the memory used in your build. Additionally, the VRM design on that board seems subpar for the 5900x you've paired with it. You might want to consider alternatives such as:

I've attempted everything I could find—deleting drivers, performing a full reinstall of Windows—but nothing has resolved the problem.
Would you like me to help recreate your bootable USB installer? This could help rule out a corrupt installer.
Alternatively, you could try installing in offline mode with all drives disconnected except the one for OS installation, and using the latest drivers in an elevated command prompt.

Do you have a link to the RAM kit used?
Also, regarding your BIOS version, what model is your motherboard running?
I updated my BIOS to version 3634, though I’m unsure what came before—it’s marked as a beta. The RAM details are available here: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/p6RFf7/...m2b3200c16. I suspect the issue might be related to system strain, but temperatures seem normal. Initially, CPU errors appeared; after installing a cooler, those stopped completely, leaving only memory-related problems. I’m considering underclocking or adjusting fan settings, though I’m not sure how to proceed and don’t know the exact steps. I also thought about upgrading the motherboard later, but for now I’m trying to resolve this on my own.
Well, it seems I've encountered another issue too.

If you need assistance understanding how to get your system functioning properly, that would be very helpful. It’s important for you to stop the crashes by today so you can finish the projects you’re working on before their deadlines.
Cheaply using the motherboard for a Ryzen 9 build is not advisable. You might have chosen a better option like the X570.
Did you turn on DOCP in the BIOS? If yes, turn it off (or reset to default) and check if crashes persist. If memory issues exist, errors could stem from either the CPU or the RAM. For example, a crash caused by the CPU struggling to access data might be misreported as a CPU fault by Windows.
I wasn't aware the motherboard was cheaper, but I aim to upgrade eventually. For now, I just need it to function at least until it reaches full performance.
At first, I had DOCP enabled thinking I was doing well, but I turned it off after noticing frequent crashes.
I realize now, thank you. I thought my CPU was also causing issues.
I've just discovered that running the "Fan Control" app causes my computer to crash during calibration, showing the same error I've encountered before. Does this indicate my overheating problem? If yes, what should I do to resolve it? Currently, my cooling setup consists of an AIO, and I didn't expect to need additional case fans.
Remove the side panel from the case....test.
If you use a table fan and direct it at the interior, test.
You don't have any case fans? Airflow matters a lot. The heat from the GPU, RAM, drives, chipset and depending on your AIO setup, the CPU needs removal. Basic cooling is essential.
