I have an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X using the stock Wraith cooler and thermal paste

My system consists of:

Asus TUF X570 Gaming with WiFi (most recent BIOS)

G.Sill Trident Neo Z Royal 3200 32GB

Intel 760P m.2 NVMe 1TB (most recent firmware)

Radeon X590 with 8gb not overclocked

Windows 10 2004

PBO is disabled

All drivers are the latest versions available.

I power on the system, go direct to the BIOS and go to the monitor, temp steadily climbs to over 80C and the system shuts down and I am unable to power back on Until I switch the APC surge suppressor off and back on.

I boot to Windows without going to the BIOS and open Asus AI Suite 3 and watch for 2-3 minutes and temp flutters between 65C-75C.

I then open Ryzen Master and while moving to the advanced view the machine goes dead again.

I have been working with hardware a long time and am no NOOB.

Something here isn't right and I need help.

You probably need to remount the wraith cooler.

fyrel,

Thank you for your response, that is the first thought I had, as unlikely as it is. I say it is unlikely as this i something I have done flawlessly many times going back to my first 286. Yes, I have been at it that long and have done it dozens of times. I just think there is something else going on.

Well if you are sure it's not the cooler mounting, do you fans actually spin?

Do you have good case airflow?

Other things I would try.

Reset the bios to remove any overclocks.

Change the power plan to balanced
