Hey there! I recently built a new PC, and I'm having a frustrating issue where it randomly crashes or restarts while I'm gaming. Here are my specs:
- **CPU:** Ryzen 5 5600G
- **GPU:** RTX 5060 Ti
- **RAM:** 16 GB
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte B550M Aorus Elite AX
- **PSU:** 700W 80+ Bronze
Initially, I thought it might be due to CPU overheating, so I tried limiting the power, but that didn't help. I also checked the voltage from my power supply, and everything seemed normal. I'm stuck and can't figure out how to fix this. Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated!

First off, you should try using HWinfo to monitor your CPU and GPU temperatures. The Ryzen 5 5600G isn’t usually a temperature risk unless there's something seriously wrong with your cooler. Also, make sure your motherboard's BIOS is up to date.
Another step is to use DDU to clean out your grafics drivers and then reinstall the latest version. Don't forget to install the most recent chipset drivers for your motherboard as well. Lastly, give your RAM a stability test with a program like OCCT or Karhu RAM Test to check for any issues. They can help pinpoint if your RAM is unstable.
Considering you also thought about CPU temps, I think it’s less likely since the 5600G isn’t known for overheating. I would actually look towards the GPU if anything. But honestly, it seems like a RAM issue to me. Overheating, if it were the case, would generally take longer to occur during high load. I suggest trying Memtest; you can run it from a USB drive to check your RAM. If you find any faults, that could be the culprit. Just avoid running RAM tests through your OS, as they can often give false results.
