High end pc shuts down while multi tasking or playing fortnite on high settings

[phoenix-tv]

Hi my name is josh
I recently upgraded from a gtx 460 to a rx 580 8b
After multitasking or graphic setting change on games my pc crashes and I can’t turn it on unless I flip the switch on the psu to off, then back to on, then if I press the power button it turns on finally.
I am a content creator s it would help to have a fix soon

How are your system temperatures?
How old is that PSU? The iGreen Power will last around 5-6 years then it might start going south, so it might be at the end of its life.

Temps stay below 60degrees Celsius but in windows event viewer it says their is some power kernels whatever that means

You get those Event ID 41 ‘Kernel-Power’ when the computer isn't shutdown properly.
If your PC works just fine while performing simple task and it shouts down when taxed with games and multitasking then you should look into the power draw.
The PSU might not longer be delivering the power your system needs while at full load.

Awesome thanks what psu do you recommend

A reliable, modern 550W PSU should be enough for your system, you will be able to keep it if you upgrade and give you peace of mind with a good warranty (7-10 years).
CORSAIR TX-M Series 550W
Seasonic FOCUS Plus 550W
