    PC Keeps crashing randomly

    About 6 months ago my PC started restarting overnight or during the day when I was not using it. I had Windows 10 installed at this time. It will either restart, or it will just freeze with the display still showing the desktop just frozen. No BSOD shows up. I figured I would upgrade to Windows 11 and see if that fixed the issue. I did not fix the issue. I have tried looking into event viewer to find what is the cause but I have not been able figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

    Motherboard - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. TUF GAMING B550-PLUS

    Processor - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor, 3801 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)

    GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

    RAM - PVB432G320C6K x2 DDR4 16GB 3200 MHz CL 16 1.35v

    Disk Drive - Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB and Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500GB

    I have replaced the battery on the motherboard. I have tried a different power supply. I have reinstalled Windows 11 from scratch.

    The original power supply was a EVGA 500 W3 and I swapped it for a Thermaltake Smart 750W 80 plus I have on another system.

    I am not sure how to find logs or other ways of diagnosing the problem other than event viewer.

    Any help would be appreciated.

      Flash the latest BIOS (AGESA Combo AM5 1.2.0.B or newer for your B550-PLUS).
      Load Optimised Defaults, then only change:
      Code:
      DO not enable XMP/DOCP yet 
Disable Global C-State Control and CPPC (these deep-sleep states cause idle freezes on some Zen 3 boards).
If the board offers a β€œPBO Enhancement” or CPU Core Voltage offset, turn them off / set to Auto.
      Re-install the AMD Chipset driver straight from AMD.com (the one bundled in Armoury Crate is often old).
      Clean-install the NVIDIA 552.xx driver with DDU - Install - tick Clean install.

              Can you go here and download speed fan and install Click On Me .
              Run speed fan then click on the Exotics tab > show the magic. Post a screen capture.
              To do a screen capture in Windows 10/11 press the windows key and the print screen button together.
              It will put the image in Pictures>Screenshots

                      Here is the picture you requested. I have flashed the bios and changed the settings you advised. We will see if the problem persists.

                                  It has been almost 4 hours after flashing the bios (which I had already done before) and changing the settings in the bios. Watched most of the Last of US with my long distance girlfriend until she fell asleep. Computer is still up and running. Hopefully it lasts. Possibly changing the settings in the bios helped. Will keep you informed.

                                      Still running from 9:00 pm last night until 6:34 am this morning. If it is still running when I get home I would say its solved.

                                          Almost 24 hours and no restarts. I believe changing those settings in the bios is what fixed it. Thanks again. Very knowledgeable forum.
