As the title says, my system reboots after about 5 minutes of use or idle. Previously it was rebooting after a few hours, so I wiped the c drive with another pc and reinstalled windows. It took many attempts to get through the windows installation and now that it finally completed this is what I am left with. I also updated the Bobo bios before the reinstall so they are up to date.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

reinstalled windows
Where did you source the installer for your OS?

It took many attempts to get through the windows installation
Please elaborate. Assuming you're working with Windows 10, did you install the OS in offline mode, then manually installing all drivers relevant to your platform in an elevated command?

Turn off auto restart on system failure and you should get BSOD instead of reboot.
Show a photo of BSOD. It contains diagnostic information.

And ryzen 7 5800x
B550 aorus elite v2 on bios f18d
2x wd black 2tb name ssd
2x Samsung 910 evo sad 2tb
Tuf gaming rtx 3070 GPU
corsair 750x psu.

I used the windows media creation tool for the os install.

The install froze and rebooted about a dozen times before it completed, I had to disconnect my system from the internet to get it to finish. I don't know how to get drivers through commands, so as of now they are whatever windows found when I reconnected internet to the system.

Yes, you disconnect from the www while installing the OS, when you come across the OOBE screen, you do this;

I don't know how to get drivers through commands

You will need a donor system/laptop, download all drivers that are the latest version pertaining to your platform, store them on a pen drive. Once you've finished installing the OS in offline mode, install all drivers in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
^ you don't let the OS download and install drivers it thinks is right for your platform, that's what usually causes instability issues.

You're advised to disconnect all drives except the one you intend to install the OS on, so the OS doesn't create system partitions on other drives. Has happened to many across the years.

Speaking of OS, did you recreate the installer to rule out a corruption?
