[SOLVED] Could upgrading my GPU cause my AVR to overheat?

[zacthree]

Recently, I upgraded my GPU from a GTX 750 to an RX 580. After the switch, my AVR started overheating and had this burnt electronics smell. I bought a new AVR that had a higher wattage rating and it started getting real hot and having this burnt smell as well. Could it possibly be switching GPUs or could it be faulty hardware (GPU, AVR, PSU)? Or could it be the wall socket? I have no idea what to do.

System:
CPU: Ryzen 3 1300x
Mobo: Gigabyte A320m
Ram: 2x4gb Hyperx DDR4
GPU: Reference XFX RX 580 8gb
PSU: Bronze true rated 500watts (sketchy brand, but worked with no hiccups for over a year now)
AVR: 500w rated
4 LED fans.

These are my specs if it could help.

P.S. My GPU prior to this one died, it had no 6 pin connection. My new GPU as one 6 pin socket. Could this be a factor?

Thank you so much.

Make and model AVR(s)?

Is anything else connected to the AVR?

Have you had the electrical outlet and circuit serving the AVR checked?

Unplug the computer and determine if the AVR gets hot with some other equivalent load.

Could be that the "sketchy brand" PSU is indeed the cause. May have an internal short.

I have my monitor plugged in as well. Will give your suggestions a try. If all else fails, will try switching my PSU.

Thanks so much!
