All games are freezing on new PC. PSU issue?

[rx480gaming]

I have recently assembled a PC. All the games are freezing on it. I suspected a faulty graphic card so I replaced it but games are freezing even on the new card.

Also tried reinstalling Windows 10 but that didn't resolve the issue. I removed the card and played cities skylines and hearts of iron 4 on the intel HD graphics which are CPU & RAM intensive games and my PC didn't freeze. So is my PSU faulty or the motherboard? Can anyone please help me with this?

My Specs---

i5 6402p
Asus B150m
corsair vs450
rx480 8gb
hyperx fury 8gb

When gaming, what are the temperatures of the gpu and cpu? What power supply do you have? What wattage?

Have you updated your graphics drivers recently?

I have Corsair VS450W. Temperatures were normal. CPU goes around 50-55 C and GPU 60-65 C

Do you think it is the power supply? What I know is PSU issue will reboot/shutdown the PC (I am a noob in PSU) but here I am just facing a freeze issue.

Your 450w psu may be insufficient.
This chart recommends 500w for a RX480:

In a game, the gpu will be pushed, and it needs good output from the psu to do so.
Try to borrow a stronger psu and see if it resolves your issue.

It is a new PC and all the drivers, BIOS are updated. I also tried downgrading the GPU drivers to older version but still no luck🙁

Oh... I was not aware of this recommended value. I just calculated the power requirements my rig and it says 335W max, so i picked up a 450W PSU. So, I think I need to buy a new one... crap...

Yeah id suggest getting a better psu. Id say 500+ wattage. I suggest XFX or Seasonic. I dont know if they have good low wattage power supplies though since I use a 750 watt psu and 1050 watt psu both from XFX

XFX, evga and Seasonic are toooo over priced here in India. Can you suggest anything from Corsair, Antec, Coolermaster etc

I would recommend a TX or RX series corsair psu in your wattage range.

Here are the difference between the different series of Corsair psus
