Question Pc randomly shuts off after upgrading my CPU and cpu cooler.

[Houndss]

so yesterday I upgraded my cpu and cpu cooler because my cpu was overheating. after the upgrade the temperatures seem normal, but when playing games like rainbow six siege the pc will randomly shut off. i already updated the bios and made sure to clean install the new gpu drivers. i tested in heaven benchmark and everything worked fine but in game the whole pc shuts off.

my old cpu was a amd ryzen 5 2600 with a stock cooler.

my new cpu and specs:
amd ryzen 7 5800X
FRZN
corsair 16 gb DDR4 x 2 3600mhz but runs on 2133 currently
seasonic focus px 650
adata su650
MSI B550 A-pro (bios updated)

any ideas?

Did you reinstall Windows after this hardware change? This is a must for any major change such as CPU upgrade.

....if i reinstall windows will my pc be reset(games etc)?

If you do this correctly then yes, all will be reset and require reinstallation off all applications and restoration of data from your most current backup (you DO keep backups, right?)

uhh, no I dont, is it worth it to make one before doing reinstalling windows?

You should ALWAYS have a backup as you never know when you will encounter a situation such as this.
