Hey folks, I'm dealing with a strange issue on my gaming rig which is about a year old. Here's the setup: I've got an AMD 7950x paired with an ASUS Strix X670E-E motherboard and 128GB of DDR5 memory (using four 32GB sticks, but no EXPO). I'm also running an ASUS TUF RTX 4090. The problem is that my PC shuts down randomly – it doesn't happen often, but when it does, I get a 00 Q-CODE when I restart it. The odd part is that it seems to fix itself temporarily when I reset the BIOS by taking out the CMOS battery. I'm curious if anyone else has encountered this issue and what the potential causes might be!

From what I've gathered, this shutdown issue might be related to insufficient power. It’s a good idea to double-check that your CPU PSU cables are properly connected. Some have had luck by unplugging the PSU from the wall for about 10 minutes before trying to power it back on.
I checked the power cables and they're secure. I'm just puzzled why resetting the BIOS solves the issue temporarily.
