Black Screen Crash While Gaming

[iceeultra]

After building this rig, I've been experiencing a strange type of crash while the system is under load (specifically while gaming). After playing for a few hours, the screen would abruptly go black, no error message, and the RGB's on my GPU would go dark. Reset button is unresponsive, and the only way to reset is to shut off my PSU and start it up again. Specs below.



Mobo - GIGABYTE X470 Ultra Gaming

CPU - Ryzen 5 2600X

CPU Cooling - Stock CPU Fan Cooler

GPU - GIGABYTE GTX 1070 Ti

RAM - G.SKILL TridentZ (2x8gb)

Storage - FireCuda 1TB SSHD Hybrid

PSU - Okia ATX600 600W



I have not overclocked the CPU in any way, but at one point it had been run with a bad set of thermal paste. I knew the paste was bad, but didn't have the money to purchase a tube of paste at the time. I ran it with some games, checked the temps, and nothing went over the line of concern. Everything was staying cool, and now the paste is replaced properly. I have no idea what could be causing this problem.



Vermintide 2 is one of the games giving me the most problems. After running, when I select my character, before I can even click, my PC crashes. I've swapped my GPU and RAM to my brothers PC to test, and they both ran Vermintide 2 with ease, so it's not them. I've narrowed it down to being either my PSU, CPU, or my motherboard, and I want to know exactly what it is before I go making purchases. Thank you for your help!

PSU is a horrible unit. It is the reason for your crashes.

It not even a Tier 5 unit. Replace it asap if you do not want your PC to go.

Alright, it's the only part that I haven't replaced so far, so I might as well do it to see if it works, if not for insurance. I'll update in a few weeks once I get the money to purchase a better one.

However, just food for thought on the shopping side of the situation, would this be a good idea for a PSU? It's relatively cheap and my rig is rated for around 450~ watts as a requirement. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817151189

Alright, I'll look into it. Thanks a bunch! I'll update when I make the purchase and test the system.
