Recently my PC has been completely freezing - (can't move mouse, can't hear anything etc) at seemingly random occurrences. Also, the fans start to ramp up to max RPM and my RGB will switch off when this happens. Only thing that seems to fix it is completely restarting the system. My system is about 5 years old but the specs are still fine. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks
edit:
specs are:
Powercolor Radeon RX5700XT
AMD Ryzen 3600x
MSI B550M mortar wifi
16GB corsair vengeance DDR4 3600MHz
corsair 650W PSU (original to build 4.5 yrs old)
corsair AIO
1TB western digital sata SSD, 140GB free
case is Corsair 280X matx - which, admittedly, doesn't have the best airflow. I don't think this is a temp issue however as it'll happen when the PC is idle, and fans only ramp up after the freeze.
no physical damage to the PC and it seems that everything is connected properly. thanks for help
