Question Blackscreen reboots after GPU upgrade

[F0cusxs]

Hi guys,

I’ve recently upgraded the graphics card from a 1660TI to a 3060 OC and when I’m playing CS2 the computer freezes, screen turns to black and then reboots, all fans start running at maximum power and I need to manually shut it of and then turn it back on to work.

My configuration is R5 5600X, AsRock B450 Pro4 and my PSU is Seasonic Focus GX, 80+ Gold, 550W. Should I upgrade my PSU?

To mention that the issue happens very often when Power Management Mode is set to Prefer Maximum Performance in Nvidia CP and when the above setting is on normal the issue happens from time to time.

Thanks for all the help on this.

How old is the PSU?

Did you run DDU prior to removing the GTX1660Ti from your system? You should do so now, then manually reinstall the latest GPU driver sourced off of Nvidia's support site, in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

Thanks for the fast reply. The PSU is from 2019 when I first build this PC and I’ve removed all old drivers with DDU prior to the GPU swap.
