My pc CPU has been overheating and turning off and freezing, I've tried everything, we bought a new cooler, set fan and pump to max, the last thing I did was change my bios setting from pmw to dc after i had a huge crash and the CPU debug light came on, if this doesn't fix the issue I don't know what to do , could that have been why the pump wasn't cooling the pc even if I had an app that was making my fan run at full speed (fan control)

PS I didn't want to change the fans speeds in bios until a last resort

edit: specs-
CPU: ryzen 7 5700x
CPU cooler: Poseidon elite argb 240
Motherboard: msi b450m pro m2 max
GPU: rtx 2060 super oc
psu: 750 watt

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
