[RESOLVED] 5800x freezing and restarting.

[mrcool597]

UPDATE: the issue was a defective motherboard. not a cpu issue

 

 

so i’ve had my 5800x for a couple weeks but today, i had left my computer idle, nothing running except discord, and i come back to a black screen, unresponsive computer, and my fans going full tilt. after a restart, i get to the desktop and then suddenly restart, as if i had pressed the reset button on my case. this kept going every single restart, sometimes the whole computer would just lockup and the fans would start going full tilt again. i tried updating my bios to no avail, reseated ram, and tried different ram configs. Nothing. this whole setup had been working for weeks before this and i hadn’t changed anything in bios or in windows.
