Question Windows 11 have become unstable after accidentally removing the CPU. What should I do?

Hello everyone. A little bit of backstory: about 3 months ago I got a new AIO cooler and everything was fine but I had to swap it out with the AM4 stock cooler because the mounting clip had broken. Last week I intended to put the new AIO back in, but while removing the stock cooler the CPU got stuck on the cooler and I had to use a hairdryer to unstick it from the bottom of the cooler. Then I put the CPU back in and installed the new AIO. However, after this accidental removal, Windows 11 started acting stange. It takes about 3-4 tries until I can get to the home screen and my PC is properly working. The first 3-4 times it gets to the windows loading logo or as far as where you have to type in the PIN but it freezes and after 3-4 seconds it reboots on its own. After that's happened 3-4 times, it then says that Windows didn't start correctly and if I want to fix it or just restart the pc again and I press restart and then everything is working fine again. Once the pc is working fine there are no problems, only if I restart it or shut it off and turn it on again the next day. The CPU temps are fine 30C when idle with the fans set to silent and 58C at full load in Cinebench R15. I checked for any bent pins on the CPU after I accidentally removed it but everything looked fine. What could be the problem here? Have windows bugged out and I need to clean install them again? What should I do. Thanks in advance.

You could try to run SFC/DISM to see if the OS has any faults.

Ok I did it, it repaired corrupt files, but on reboot it froze again one time and rebooted on its own before loading without problem the second time. Any other ideas?

The most likely culprit is damaged or bent pins, but since you confirmed those are fine, it's possible you damaged a component on the board around the CPU socket while fighting with the coolers. Other things to check is the SSD and RAM. Completely unseat and reseat them to be sure they're still connected. If the motherboard has an auxilary power connector near the socket, be sure to reseat that too.

Hey again. I reseated the RAM and removed the CMOS battery but that didn't fix anything. So I selected the restore option on the "Windows didn't start correctly" screen. It reinstalled windows but that didn't fix it either. Right now I'm trying to reinstall windows through a USB drive to see if that fixes anything. So I'm out of options here. Should I try my old ryzen 5 2600 and see if that changes anything? Please help I don't know what to do anymore. Thanks in advance.
