When I try to oc the graphics card just even a bit it just makes the whole computer crashIt's just fine.
It will give you GT 1030 level performance, but you have the advantage of 4 GB VRAM.
If you wish to run newer and more demanding games, you can consider upgrading to RX 560, though for 768p resolution even RX 550 is enough. If needed, it can be OC'd using MSI afterburner.
Then don't overclock.
Your system may not have enough power for that.

yeah i dont think my gpu wants to let me overclock itThen don't overclock.

What power supply do you have? The model name, specifically.yeah i dont think my gpu wants to let me overclock it
Thermaltake TR2 RX-850AP 850 watts to be exactWhat power supply do you have? The model name, specifically.
Is it 850 watts or 500 watts? You mentioned 500 watts in the previous reply...Either way, that's enough power to overclock an entry-level card such as the RX 550, so the problem lies somewhere else. The TR2 is horrible quality, but an RX 550 doesn't really need anything exceptional anyway, which is probably why your system is working fine till now - if you ever plan on upgrading the GPU, get a better PSU first if you don't want any component to get damaged.Thermaltake TR2 RX-850AP 850 watts to be exact
Yeah thats what someone told me about my PSU I just don't have the money to replace it right now and its 850 watts i didn't know so i thought it was 500 wattsIs it 850 watts or 500 watts?

Nobody can "calculate" a bottleneck, it's too subjective and there are no absolute numbers you can associate with it, bottleneck calculators are meaningless. Don't use them and waste your time.According to bottleneck calculator you have 2% bottleneck on GPU. Apparently anything under 10% isn't a bottleneck.
I'm using MSI afterburner and im on the latest drivers but the bios isnot on the latest because I don't know how to update itwhat application are you using for overclocking? Are you on the latest drivers and BIOS?
You need to put the latest BIOS on an empty flash drive, then go into your BIOS with that flash drive plugged in, and find the update option in the BIOS. It will then find the BIOS files on your USB drive once you select it, and will update the BIOS, during which you should leave the computer absolutely untouched, because interrupting a BIOS update can brick the motherboard. It's a fairly straightforward process, just make sure the USB is empty(even that is not necessary on most motherboards as far as I know, most of them can detect BIOS files even with other files in the USB), and don't stop the BIOS updation in the middle.I'm using MSI afterburner and im on the latest drivers but the bios isnot on the latest because I don't know how to update it
The file for the zip file is a zip do i just extract it on to the usb?You need to put the latest BIOS on an empty flash drive, then go into your BIOS with that flash drive plugged in, and find the update option in the BIOS.

YepThe file for the zip file is a zip do i just extract it on to the usb?
Did you try a different port? Try formatting the drive and then put the files on it again, and make sure to try all the USB ports, especially the ones on the back of the PC.The bios does not detect the usb for some reason
Boot the PC normally, plug in the USB, right-click on the USB drive in Windows Explorer, click Format, then 'Start' in the dialog box.How do I format the drive
Showed the usb after I formatted it but then i tried using m flash but didnt work then tried to use the original bios flash and the usb stopped popping upBoot the PC normally, plug in the USB, right-click on the USB drive in Windows Explorer, click Format, then 'Start' in the dialog box.
Try a different USB then? What happened when you tried to use M-flash?Showed the usb after I formatted it but then i tried using m flash but didnt work then tried to use the original bios flash and the usb stopped popping up
Did the BIOS not go through the update? If the USB's BIOS files were detected, the update should have started once you clicked something like Confirm or Update or something similar.I tried using M-FLASH and it was all on there then I hit f10 to save and the pc just restarted and didn't do anything.
