[SOLVED] Constant crashing from what I assume is my gpu.

[fabegazen]

For awhile now I have had problems with constant crashing. I have done everything I can think of to fix it but it hasn't worked. Most of the time if my gpu takes any medium-high load the computer shuts off after showing a matte brown screen. Sometimes when I boot it up after it crashes there is screen tearing and then it crashes again. I had a few problems with drivers at some point but I don't think it's a simple driver issue now.
Specs: rx 570 4gb, ryzen 5 1600 af, 8gb dual channel 3200 mhz(2666 base clock), msi b450 pro-m2, 550 watt 80+bronze effeciency psu.

What is the specific model of your PSU and how old is it?

The Corsair CX550 isn't a good PSU, its built cheaply and doesn't belong in a gaming system. You probably got a bad one.

Ah, I see. Uh what would you reccomend someone on a bit of a budget should get if I might ask?

While the Corsair CX line isn't good, the Corsair RMx line is very well put together and all come with a 10 year warranty. I'd recommend you a RM550x as the minimum you should upgrade to, although a RM650x is only slightly more expensive and would be good to have should you upgrade your computer with more powerful components sometime in the next ten years or so.
