I've recently reinstalled Windows 11 on my PC, and now it's freezing and rebooting after just 1 to 3 minutes of use. I'm running on default BIOS settings. Here are my specs: CPU is a Ryzen 7 5700G, GPU is an RTX 4060, I have 1 stick of DDR4 16GB 3600MHz Vengeance RGB Pro RAM, and the motherboard is a Gigabyte X570S. I really need help because I can't even install the chipset drivers under these conditions!

If you updated your BIOS but still can't install the chipset drivers because of compatibility issues, try checking for the latest version of those drivers as well. Sometimes, just having an updated BIOS isn't enough if the drivers themselves aren't compatible with the new OS. Make sure all components are in good condition and working.
It sounds like you might need a BIOS update. X570S motherboards may require an update to work properly with Windows 11 and your 5700G. You can check for BIOS upgrades on the Gigabyte website. Here's their support page for BIOS updates: [Link here](https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X570S-UD-rev-10/support#Support-Bios). Don’t forget to also grab the necessary drivers from AMD’s website while you’re at it: [Link here](https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/previous-drivers.html/chipsets/am4/x570.html?utm_source=NSA.Gov). Good luck!
Make sure to back up your data before you update the BIOS! It can be risky and sometimes leads to data loss.
