Question Faulty graphics card?

[gettingmad]

Hi, I have the following build:

• Fractal Design Meshify C
• MSI AMD B550M PRO-VDH m
• AMD Ryzen 5 3600
• Corsair CMK16GX4M2D3600C18 DDR4 8GB x 2
• RTX 3070

No overclocking

When I built this 3 years ago I had a EVGA 600W bronze power supply with it. Earlier this week that power supply seemed dead after something tripped the power on the socket (when I was raising my standing desk, so assuming that was the culprit?)

I have ordered a new power supply from amazon and the pc did not start with it either. I took it to a local service both the new and old power supply with the pc to find out if not those, then what else is the issue. The person at the shop confirmed that the pc started with his spare PSU, and both mine looks like are dead.

So I ordered a new power supply: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BWGFPJVC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details.

I know 850W is overkill but there were no huge price difference to others and i did not wanted the PSU to be an issue if I start upgrading the pc eventually.

Now with this PSU the PC runs but the moment I start a game the pc switches off. Running something only CPU heavy like Ableton seems to work fine.

I also was able to run a loadtest using Heavyload for 3 minutes that showed both CPU and GPU near full load at all times, it did not switched off and there were no overheating issues
Not sure whats the issue here.

Thanks in advance

That's weird. I don't recommend you doing too much with the power supply yourself unless you have enough computer knowledge. I think It's a good idea to go to a shop and get it fixed.

The OP isn't saying anything about working on the guts of a PSU (that does require extreme caution). Swapping a PSU out/in a PC is a trivial task for most users.

For the OP, if this happened using the same electrical outlet, I would suggest an electrician be called to ensure all is well with your outlet.
