PC KEEPS RANDOMLY RESTARTING I NEED HELP!

Meaning I have to turn precision boost off or what? I don’t really know what your saying
What I’m saying is being in the BIOS is a light load on the Ryzen CPU causing the normal boost behavior to kick in. Mine will show the voltage at 1.407/9 with everything on Auto.

The option to load optimized defaults is in the save/exit tab on top tab two or three options down under save and exit, save changes.
 
When you tested ram, was it through memtesr? And how long?

I've had similar issue with some Gskill ram on a 3500x machine.
 
No, I tested both my ram manually, I heard it was the best way

?

How do you test ram manually? You mean you plugged it in one stick a time and tested each one and got same results?

I would still attempt a memtest. Both my sticks of Gskill were bad.

Up to you of course.
 
So my pc keeps restarting everytime I get on a game or I’m on google chrome, I’ve tried changing my psu, I’ve monitored my temps, I’ve tested each ram stick, Ive cleaned my pc, and still does the same thing Idk what else to do.

system specs? what do you have cooling wise?
 
Ryzen 5 3600
Rtx 2060
Corsair Vengeance RGB Ram 16 GB
B450 Tomahawk

4 case fans
Are you using the stock cooler the Ryzen 5 3600 had in the box?

The Corsair Vengeance RAM could be the cause of the issues. It’s a hit and miss with Ryzen.

Yea I’m also using that

I’ve left my pc on my files for like the past hour and it’s hasn’t reset yet if that means anything?

Ok let's see what your temps are. Go to the site below and download Open Hardware Monitor;
Run it and then take a picture and let us see what it shows.

Lastnight I was able to play my pc all night without it restarting, today I got on and it restarted after me play for an hour and thirty minutes ?

corsair memory may need a little more voltage to be stable.
 
I think in the earlier messages they were telling me to turn the voltage down
@lexluthermiester was suggested reducing the voltage to the CPU. From your earlier photo of the BIOS on the monitor the DDR4 voltage is at the default 1.2V, and the clock speed is 2133 MHz. What clock speed was the Corsair Vengeance advertised as? What's the part number for the Corsair?

Edit: Filling in your System Specs here would help others.

Edit 2: You can find the part number for the Corsair Vengeance in the BIOS under Memory-Z in the overclocking section, you have to scroll to the bottom.

There's a A-XMP option in the overclocking section that allows selecting XMP profiles for the correct clockspeed the Corsair should be running at.

The above are from a B450 Tomahawk that's not the MAX with the latest BIOS update.

Updated my last reply, might want to have a look.

True it can also cause crashes at higher temperatures like just about 60-65.
It needs reasonable ventilation.

That's what I'm thinking, it sounds like a cooling issue but it's hard to tell what's overheating. Are the silent/quiet fan profiles running when the crashes occur? Do the crashes occur with normal or max cooling profiles?

Ok, that doesn't show system/cpu temps. Please use the above utility or another that shows the full array of system temps. Run it from while you're not doing anything, IE while the system is idling.
 
It looks like an idle CPU/GPU in this photo.

Yes, but that only shows one sensor. We need to see what the system as a whole is doing to properly understand the dynamic of what might be going on in the system in question, thus the recommendation of a monitoring utility.

Although, 40C at idle? Something is not quite right. That's more than a bit warm for that CPU at idle. It's a 65w part. It shouldn't be anywhere near 40C at idle. To give context, my Xeon W3680 is a 130w part and it's hovering around 5% usage and it's at 30C.

My Ryzen 5 3600 when I had it installed would fluctuate between 30-40 when idle because of the boost. That was with a Scythe tower heatsink.

my thoughts exactly. My 9370 is 220w, at idle I'm hovering under 25C.

So lets backtrack a minute here, lets get a pic of the case ( or case model ) and fans and tell us how the fans are arranged, i.e., 1-2 front intake, 1 rear exhaust, 1 top exhaust, etc. After that would be to check the CPU paste, it wouldnt be the first time someone left the plastic in there.

Weird. With the Ryzen systems I've built the idle temps stay around 30C to 33C. But then again, I always adjust down the default voltage. There is literally no reason for that voltage to be as high as some boards set it.

Yes those were my idle temps and it’s to the point where I can’t even get pass the login screen before it freezes here are pictures of my case from the inside

fan orientation looks good. can you get into the BIOS and stay there for a while or does that lock up too?
 
If something was overheating you'd hear the fans spinning out of control. It would be very obvious.
If my computer was freezing in the bios my first move would be to reset the bios by removing the battery from the board. This is assuming you've changed anything in it.
If it freezes with the bios at it's stock settings then you need to get it looked at by someone who has spare parts because you have a faulty part. Or maybe you just need to check the fittings and make sure everything is snug, like the CPU cooler and such.
Sorry I can't be more help.
