I have had a lot of issues with my PC since recently building it, for one; On first boot of the day, it would be extremely laggy/choppy and when I would open up a browser my PC would restart instantly after my monitor displayed a No Signal message. I thought I fixed that when I went into the BIOS and changed the PCIe from Auto to Gen 3 and disabled Auto restart when system failure in windows settings, but now as of late, on first boot of the day, everything would be working fine until about 25-30 minutes my monitor would completly shut off and would display "No Signal" while my PC being completly normal and not restarting and it would not fix itself unless I turned my PC off and back on again. I have reinstalled windows numerous times, downloaded DDU and uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, my only other guess is maybe the GPU isn't properly positioned in my motherboard. If anyone can give me any tips on what I should do, it would be appreciated.

Specs:
GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti V2 OC Edition
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B-550F Gaming
Power Supply: ASUS ROG STRIX 750 Fully Modular 80 plus Gold 750W ATX Power Supply
Monitor: ACER Nitro 27" 1440p WQHD 144hz 1ms GTG IPS LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor

Update to the latest BIOS.

If you've updated your software drivers and checked all your hardware, it could be a hardware malfunction. Maybe the PSU or GPU (from the 116 BSOD error code). In which case it may be best to take it to a computer technician.

Have you tried checking "Reliability History"? Does it show any consistent hardware errors? Also, make sure to reseat your GPU and check all of your hardware cables are seated properly.

I built the PC once and the only things I have added to it when I built it was I changed coolers, and added an exaust fan. I checked the hardware was seated properly but I am no expert, so I may take it to someone who can actually let me know if everything is seated properly because I cant tell for sure. That was going to be my last resort but it seems like its the only option right now. I am going to update my BIOS because it is nearly a year old version that im running but if that doesn't work then I am going to see if someone can reseat everything for me and check it all out. Also no I have not overclocked any hardware

It would be worth it to update your BIOS since there's a compatibility issue "The Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor with BIOS version 1004. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, upgrading the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU. "

Thank you for your help. I am waiting to get a flash drive and then once I get that I will update the BIOS.
I have exactly the problem as you described it,, but with another Graphics card (Gigabyte rx6650xt Gaming). But I had my BIOS already up to date when I got my Mainboard. Does your problems persists? If no, what was the problem?
