So I've had my computer for a while now and ever since I put it together I've been having issues. First I would blue screen every so often but that stopped in January after I reinstalled Windows and now it just freezes or the screen goes black. I have a feeling it could be related to my motherboard/ram but it could also be related to my CPU because it idles around 50 degrees C. I've been trying to figure this out for a year now so help is very much appreciated.

System Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO
ASRock B550 STEEL LEGEND
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 - (Model F4-3600C16D-32GTZRC)
Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Crucial P2 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME
Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB GAMING OC
EVGA BR 700 W 80+ BronzeTP-Link Archer TX50E PCIe x1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax

Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer for error codes, warnings, and even informational events that correspond to the blue screens and freezes.

Power down, unplug, open the case.

Clean out dust and debris.

Check by sight and feel that all connectors, cards, RAM, and jumpers are fully and firmly in place.

Try running "sfc /scannow" and "dism" via the Command Prompt.
