Hey everyone, I built my first PC about three weeks ago, and everything was working fine until the last couple of days. Now, when I power it on, my AIO fans spin at maximum speed, and MSI Center shows my CPU temperature reaching around 100 degrees. After a short while, the system shuts down. Occasionally, after turning it off and back on, it runs normally and the CPU temperature drops to 30 degrees. I've checked all the connections, and I think I can feel a vibration from the pump, but I'm really at a loss here. My setup includes a Ryzen 7 9800x3d, a MAG X870E Tomahawk WiFi motherboard, and a Frozen Notte 360 Black ARGB AIO cooler. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like your AIO cooler might be having issues. Could the pump be stuck, or maybe there's an air bubble or a partial clog? If your CPU is overheating but the AIO isn’t getting warm on the first boot, that's definitely a red flag for the cooler. Do you have access to another CPU cooler for testing? That would help narrow it down.
I don’t have another cooler to test with since this is my first build. Can you give me some tips on how to check for those issues?
