PC Restarting Randomly

So I made a post about this a bit ago and I thought I fixed it but I didn't. I have some more information. I took out 2 sticks of RAM that I didn't know the speed of because I thought maybe they were trying to overclock - made it more stable but didn't fix it - now it just restarts completely randomly - once I joined a discord call and it restarted. I have an i9-10900K, ASUS Z490-G, 32GB of RAM (But I took out 16 for troubleshooting) and an RTX 2070 SUPER. PSU is a Corsair RM850x. I have a theory as to what is going on: the motherboard has an AI overclocking system. The way it is supposed to work is you reset to the default BIOS settings, run a benchmark, and then change it to the AI mode and it will work. I haven't really tried it, but I also don't really trust it to be stable. I don't need it to be overclocked, I just want it to be stable. I think some one of the settings is still on the default auto thing. Any ideas on which one?

No, but I got an idea of how to remove all the settings: short the cmos pins.  Should in theory revert everything to stock. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

K - I will try that, do I just do that while it is on, during boot, or when it's turned off?

Off I think.
