When turning on computer, occasionally CPU temps max out
I recently built a new PC (Ryzen 7 9800x3d and Lian li trinity ii performance AIO). Everything has been mostly fine except twice now, when I boot my computer in the morning the CPU temps have maxed out and the AIO fans go to max. Doing a hard-reset solves the issue, but its happened twice now and I'm not sure if my pump is breaking or not.
Anyone seen anything similar before? Is it possible I added too much thermal paste and it is causing issues?

Just to confirm after the hard reset does it run as normal? Have you tried doing a BIOS update by chance and updating all of your motherboard's drivers?

After hard-reset everything works fine. Its only happened twice in a few weeks. I think everything is already updated, but Ill try that again.
