Hello everyone, i've been having these issues with my CPU and would love some help if possible.
Specs:
Case: Inwin Alice
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B450M-A
Memory: x2 8GB DDR4-3200MHz ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D41 Rgb
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060 Super - 8GB GDDR6 (VR Ready)
CPU Cooling: IBUYPOWER 120mm RGB Liquid Cooling System
OS: Windows 11
(I've Never overclocked my CPU)
It all started about 2-3 months ago, I was simply gaming and noticed my PC would get really loud and run low FPS. Eventually, it started crashing maybe 2-3 days after that (shut down completely, no error message or anything) and once booted back up, i'd usually get an error message telling me my CPU is overheating and I need to run BIOS. I ran a bunch of troubleshoot solutions (Checking the Thermal Paste, re-adjusting the CPU Cooler, cleaning out the dust, making sure there's airflow in the PC, ETC). To which I never found a fix and ended up upgrading my CPU (Old CPU was a AMD Ryzen 5 3600x) Eventually it sort of "fixed itself" after this and it never crashed or overheated.
Fast forward to today, about a week ago or so, My pc simply just shut off instantly (Same as before, no error messages or anything, the entire PC shuts off though the LED lights on the Motherboard stay on. Thus I believe it's a CPU issue over a PSU issue.) I tried different tactics to pinpoint the root issue to which I found out was my CPU. How? My CPU stays at about 60-80 degrees celsius in BIOS while Idle. Being Idle (0-1% CPU Load) on the desktop leads to temps of 60-70 degrees. I've spent those past 3-4 days trying to figure out solutions to fix this and even going through multiple forum threads here and in other areas of the internet only to find no fix. Having my PC running for an hour is fine and it will usually hover at 70-80 degrees celsius, 90 if I decide to download or install large games but the second I try to run a game, it will run fine for the most part until the CPU eventually slowly rises to 100 degrees celsius and reboots on it's own (assuming it's to stop any components/parts from burning or damaging.) I've owned this Gaming PC for less than 2 years and the fact that I have to do more makes me want to just sell it.
What i've done to attempt to solve this:
If anyone could help me with my issue, it would be very helpful! Thank you in advance.

What i've done to attempt to solve this:
- Check and clean the dust out ENTIRELY
- Cleaning off old Thermal Paste and adding some new
- Making sure ALL fans work including the CPU cooler (3 fans, 5 including the Coolant. 1 inhales the air and the 2nd pushes it out)
- Checking My CPU coolant (AIO Liquid cooling) the pump still functions
- Checking and updating Windows, BIOS, ETC.
- Adjusting the CPU heatsink multiple times
- Opening my case for better airflow
- Cleaning the case itself
- Resetting the windows options
- Reformatting my PC
