ryzen 3 2200 freezing/crashing/sometimes restarting
My pc keeps freezing. when i first built it, it played great but one day i started up fortnite and it just shut off. i have everything at stock settings and have the latest bios (f23). i found out it was shutting off due to overheating. i finally got the temp cut down enough to stop it from shutting off but when i turned it back on my radeon software did a graphics driver update and then it started freezing while ding basic things like clicking files on the desktop. i tried uninstalling all my drivers but now i cant reinstall them without my computer freezing. please help me i have been trying to fix it for days now.

Update: it started shutting off again. doesnt seem to be over heating. i was trying to download google crome so i could download drivers and it froze for like 30 seconds and shut off.

Build:
cpu: ryzen 3 2200g with vega 8 graphics
Ram: 1 8gb gskill ddr
mobo: gigabyte GA-a320m-s2h

When your computer crashes (not a windows BSOD) then there is the chance of file corruption. It kinda sounds like you have had multiple crashes and now have an unstable OS. I would grab a fresh HD (or SSD) and start from scratch. Hopefully you have figured out the overheating issue otherwise you are stuck in a loop.

Spot of bad news ... unless you're certain that this is an overheating issue, it could also be a memory issue. Ryzen is funny about incompatible memory.

im definitely having an over heating issue. i started it up and checked the cpu temp when i was in the bios settings and it was 95c. i dont know why my computer would be that hot when it has two case fans and a cpu fan.

Did you try fresh set of thermal paste?and make sure the heatsink is on properly

not sure how to check the heatsink thing. and will thermal paste really make a big difference? 95 is pretty hot. im starting to think i might not be able to use the stock cooler. i cant get the temp to budge no matter what i do.

My brother has a 2400g and in cpu stress test he gets 65c and its a 4c/8t cpu so the stock cooler should be fine.

it used to run at like 35-45 at idle and 50-70 when playing games. i have no idea why it would just start running at 95 while its just idling.

I"M SUCH A DIP. i guess my cpu fan wasnt screwed on right and after so long it came almost all the way off. i got it back on and screwed in tight and now my pc is running at 34c at idle C: i will let everyone know if im still having any graphic or freezing issues.
