Question After 5 minutes of gaming, monitor blacks out, PC still running but white light on GPU is blinking ?

[AleksooBG]

CPU: ryzen 5 3600x
Motherboard: asrock b450 pro
Ram: 2x8 ddr4
SSD/HDD: 1x5400rpm hdd 500gb, 1x5400rpm 2tb hdd, 1 nvme 512gb ssd
GPU: rx 580 8gb gigabyte gaming edition
PSU: trendsonic eco power 700w
Chassis: zalman zalman n5 of
OS: Win 10
Monitor: Samsung LC24RG50FZRXUF 24" 144HZ

I'm wondering if its a loose cable (however I dont think it is) or a psu problem, which in my opinion is more likely, im just not sure how to check if it's a psu issue, and can it possibly be something else? the pc runs fine if im just browsing, but if i enter a game it crashes about 5 minutes in, no matter the game. i ran sfc scannow but i dont think that helped much.

Have you tried reseating the GPU to make sure its fitted correctly into the socket

PSU is the most obvious cause, both from the symptoms and the fact that you have an extremely cheap, group-regulated PSU that had no business ever being turned on with this PC. Replace that first -- this should have been done under any and all circumstances -- and cross your fingers that it's the cause of this problem *and* that it didn't take anything like your GPU which is, which isn't uncommon with these junk-tier PSUs.

Occasionally there is a difference between optical and HDMI monitor connections.

You know, this seemed to actually work. Thank you

Just test it out for couple days playing games and such so if it works most likey GPU was not seated correctly

Blinking white LED means improper power provided from the PSU.

Even if it continues to work, you're asking for trouble sooner or later with this junk PSU.

Yeah, I'm switching it next month. I'm now aware that its a <censored bad language> PSU

Yeah do not stress it out PSU likes to take computer parts with it when it blows

Can you suggest a PSU, considering i'm looking to upgrade soon? I'm thinking of buying a 3060 ti or an rx 6600xt.
