Last week I noticed my pc restarts while playing valorant, so I did the occt test to check for psu issues but nothing was irregular there but when i looked at temps, i saw my cpu was at 95c. so i assume that is the issue but when doing the occt test it never restarts only when playing games, so i was wondering if there is a reason for this or another possible issue with my pc.

 

all the parts have been used for about 2 years

ryzen 5 3600x

amd stock cooler

rtx 2070 super

5 random hard drives from random old laptops

crucial 500g p1 m.2 2280

Ah, you mixed RAM. Don't do that with Ryzen. Take out the 4GB and put both 8GB sticks in slot A2 and B2.

played a little bit of valorant after doing this and so far no issue, didnt realize mixing might affect pc after posting thx if i notice an issue later ill make sure to unmark as solution

right now when i launched into a practice lobby it crashed when i rebooted i instantly launched voicemeeter and Vivaldi witch also caused the pc to crash which has never happened before. 

 

also noticed up to 70% usage on cpu in task manager right when i singed in to windows 11
