    Okay I've done some testing and I think I figured this out. First I go to choose a power plan then I click on change plan settings and change Advanced power settings then processor power management then maximum processor state. It is now at 100%. I can play all my favorite games Red Redemption 2 Mech Warrior online, iracing, fortnite Star Wars Battlefront II, Battlefield 5 and I get no system reboot and my PC is quiet however when I play Battlefield 2042 my computer fans rev up within 5 minutes my computer reboots every time which says to me my CPU is overheating. But when I change the processor state to 99% no more revving while playing Battlefield 2042 and no more rebooting during gameplay. So whenever I go to play Battlefield 2042 I have to do The Annoying Thing of changing the processor state to 99% , and when I'm done when I play my other games I have to change it back to 100%. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future who's had my frustrating problem.
