I'm having a problem with my computer where it frequently freezes and reboots when I'm watching videos or playing games. My setup includes Windows 11, a Ryzen 7800X3D processor, an RTX 4700 graphics card, and 16GB of DDR5 RAM on a B650 Tomahawk WiFi motherboard. I'll add more details if needed, but this is the main issue I'm facing.

Before making changes to your BIOS or disk setup, always make sure to back up your data to avoid any loss. It might also be worth checking the Event Viewer to see if there are any errors noted when the issue happens. Sometimes those logs can give you clues on what’s going wrong.
You might want to run a memory test using Memtest86+. Also, remember that overclocking can create stability issues; your CPU officially supports speeds up to 5200 MT/s. Check your memory modules to ensure they’re running at proper speeds without errors.
I’ll definitely run the memory test and let you guys know the results.
I’ve had similar issues and I’d recommend checking for any stornvme errors. If you have RAID set up, it might be causing some problems. Also, check how much free space you have on your Windows drive and whether TRIM is functioning as it should.
It’s a good idea to check that. How much space do you currently have?
What exactly should I look for in the Event Viewer?
