hello!

So i built my first pc and all went smoothly, aligned the golden triangle etc, first boot try, didnt boot, so i took everything away and when i tried to uninstall my cpu, i noticed that it would net leave its socket for some reason, nonetheless, i put everything back on, fixed the wiring etc, and it booted just fine, in fact im using it right now. the issue here is that, when ever i try to play a game, after some time, the computer crashes, wither its a blue screen with some random hex code and error code, or just a restart but no bios and then manually restarting would solve the issue. i have a ryzen 3 1200 with a MSI A320M pro vd-plus

How to uninstall and install an AMD processor and a heatsink / fan in a system

Note! Twist in a clock and anti-clockwise rotational direction, which creates a shear force in the thermal interface. Failure to break the adhesion seal between the HSF and the processor may result in pulling the processor out of the socket, possibly resulting in processor and / or socket damage.

Computer crashes can be caused by your choice of memory, your memory settings in BIOS to name a couple. Updating BIOS to latest version may help.

My first question would be whether you are aware that the lever on the side of the CPU is for locking the CPU in place?

It should be raised up, opening the socket lock, when the CPU is out or while installing the CPU, and then it should be moved to the closed position and latched under the retainer once the CPU is installed and fully in the socket. If you don't release this arm, the CPU isn't going to come out. If you have released the arm and the CPU still won't come out, then either you put thermal paste on the wrong side of the CPU or you installed the CPU wrong and now it's bound up in the socket. Or the lock isn't releasing due to having been closed incorrectly somehow and is binding up.

I can't think of one single other thing that might cause the CPU to not come away from the motherboard. Plenty of cases where it gets stuck to the bottom of the CPU cooler heatsink due to the bond from the thermal paste, but not stuck to the motherboard unless something has been done wrong.

the cpu is put in correctly, i checked with some picutres and videos online on where the traingle should be just to make sure that my mind wasnt playing tricks, anyways, i put thermal paste on top of the lid, im always under 60 C even under gaming. the liver was up when i tried to take it out, it was about 75 degrees, whenever it ried to put it to 90 degrees, it felt like it was about to break

Just like to point out that he said stuck to the motherboard, NOT stuck to the bottom of the heatsink. Twisting the CPU while it is in the socket is a VERY bad idea, so let's try to keep advice relevant to the task at hand, rather than obfuscating the situation with advice relevant to other scenarios.
