I just built a new computer and I'm encountering a problem that I haven't encountered before, my PC would shut down randomly and then all my fans would spool up to full speed and stay like that until I either restart using the restart button or do a hard shut down. I've never experienced this when playing demanding games like Star Citizen, it actually happens more often when I'm just surfing the internet.

I have also been noticing that my CPU is running a little hot on idle, even with a 360mm AIO. Core Temp says my minimum is 36c and max is 54c. The temperature would gradually keep going down then a second or two later it will spike up by 10-15c, I get the same results with Ryzen Master and HWMonitor. My previous CPU (i5-6600k) with a 140mm AIO was consistently running ~23c on idle.

My CPU is running on stock voltages/clocks and I reapplied the thermal paste on my AIO. I'm not sure if this is a heat related issue.

Edit:
I checked my windows logs and I found logs for every time this happened, attached pics.

Screenshots

Specs:
Ryzen 7 3800X ~3.9 GHz
Corsair Vengeance 3000 mhz (OC)
Fractal Design Celsius S36 AIO
RTX 2070S
850W PSU
Asus B450 Gaming

Any help would be appreciated!

My canned random reboot Rant
Random reboots are usually caused by the PSU, the RAM or software AND in that order of likely-hood.
PSU - If you can borrow/swap a PSU for testing. sibling/friend you can swap out the PSU and each system will be testing the other.
RAM - run the system with one stick of RAM see if stability returns if not Test all the RAM with memtest 86 for five passes or overnight. if you get no 0 errors after more than five passes the ram is good. with the random reboots I would suggest running this test after the PSU swap or after the PSU has been cleared.
Software - Drivers or other issues can cause reboots. Boot to a linux distro on a USB drive. mint linux will boot to memtest86. you can run the OS from the...
