I recently built a new PC with these specifications: an MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Shadow 2X OC with 8GB VRAM, an Intel Core i5 12500 processor, two 8GB sticks of G.SKILL DDR4 3200MHz RAM, an MSI PRO H610M-E DDR4 motherboard, a Crucial E100 M.2 SSD, and a MSI MAG A650BN 650W PSU. After installing Windows, everything seems to work fine for a few minutes before randomly freezing, forcing me to power it off and back on. I've tried reseating the RAM and testing each stick separately, as well as operating with and without the GPU. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

It might be worth checking if your CPU is faulty. Some folks have had issues with new CPUs right out of the box. If you're considering returning it, that could be a smart move if all else fails.
Have you tried using a different USB drive for installing Windows? It's also a good idea to use the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool for this. And just to double-check, do you think your SSD could be causing the freezing issues?
