QUESTION: Does my GPU (RTX 2060 SUPER) require more power THROUGH THE RAILS than my motherboard / pci e slot can deliver??? In theory, my 650 Watt PSU is supposed to be powerful enough. but...
My computer crashes a lot. Mostly when editing videos. But sometimes when gaming (and the games I play aren't THAT demanding).
When it crashes, the computer just shuts down instantly. No BSOD. It just shuts down.
Normally I have to wait 10 minutes before I can even boot up again. (Although i just discovered that if I unplug the power cord for a minute, then plug it back in, then I can boot up after only one minute.)
Anyway, video card is an Nvidia RTX 2060 Super
PSU is an EVGA 650Watt GQ 80 plus gold.
I have an 8-pin cable plugged from the PSU directly into the RTX 2060 Super
Computer is LENOVO FM ideacentre 710-25ISH
i7-6770 (no overclocking)
Win10 64-bit, 24GB RAM
There is only one 4-Pin power cable going from the PSU to the motherboard. I can't find any other slot on the motherboard to plug in another power cable from the PSU in to the motherboard.
So is it possible that the GPU is trying to draw too much power through the motherboard?
Also, my peripherals are two spinning Hard Drives and two SSDs and they get their power directly off the PSU.
Also, I don't experience any problems if I put my old GTX 960 back in to my computer. It is only with the RTX 2060 SUPER that I get the problems.
