[SOLVED] Computer Dies Randomly

[callumks2003]

Hiya Guys! I'm moderately experienced at PC building but I'm stuck with this one. Basically my computer just turns off randomly across multiple games. First my monitor loses signal but I can still speak to people in discord. Then my computer dies.
Things I have tried:
Different monitor
Different HDMI cable
replaced GPU (RX580)with identical but new GPU(RX580)
replaced GPU(RX580) with different GPU (GTX1050)
Replaced PSU (VS550) with different PSU(VS450)
Its not overheating checked on HW and Speccy
Cleared CMOS
Cleaned Ram
Updated all my drivers

PC Specs:
Ryzen 7 2700
MSI B450
RX580 8GB
200GB SSD(Windows) 2TB HDD
Two 8GB sticks of HyperX fury
Corsair VS550
When using the GTX 1050 the problem stops but otherwise literally nothing has worked and my PC still randomly turns off with a BRAND NEW RX580!

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm stumped!

try a psu that is not Corsair VS series?

It's could be an internal motherboard problem.

Do you think its a compatibility issue?

It's not a compatibility issue...
The best way to put it: The VS550 is a unit intended for home/office systems, not systems with gaming gpus. It's ok with low power cards, but you stepped it up a notch going from a GTX 1050 to a RX 580.

Most of the people on this forum will recommend something like a Corsair CX as the lowest quality PSU people should buy.

The VS series is under that and it's old and it's just not a good model.

Oh ok thank you so much. What PSU would you recommend for my system?

CXM is semi modular while the CX is not but the CX is the minimum quality model I would recommend.

As Nemesia already mentioned, at least a Corsair CX550(gray), or one of the other 4 stated in the following thread alongside it: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...pply-for-attached-build.3603181/post-21736184

So what exactly is the problem here? Is the PSU being used isn't suitable enough? I thought it was an internal motherboard problem due to it shutting off randomly.

Edit:
Oh, I see now. The VS550 has the minimum wattage his specs need, and it's only 80 Plus White rated. Bronze and above is needed. But how does that explain the random shutdowns?

Ah ok thank you so much i'll look into getting one of those then, do you think that would solve the random turnoffs?

I'm guessing its because my PSU cant deal with the power draw or its overheating but im not sure.

This really needs someone more versed in power supplies to break it down. All I can tell you:
-Dated platform. Power saving, or performance enhancing features on newer hardware will prove troublesome for it.

-Internal hardware quality.
That unit isn't exactly a 'sleeper'. One example is the 'Cheapo-Teapo' caps in there, which don't have a very high temperature tolerance, and if you're regularly giving the psu a hard time, you can expect it to give up before the warranty expires.

Yeah, you should bring it into the Power Supplies section. That should help.

 

[Phaaze88]

That would be best if you want to know more.

I'll just add that there are many Corsair VS + RX 480/580 threads on here, that usually pointed to the psu, followed by the gpu actually overheating, or mixed ram configs causing instability.

Ok guys thank you so much! I'll switch this over to the PSU section and edit my question. I think i'll look into getting a new PSU! Thanks again big help!
