[SOLVED] Just got a sapphire pulse 5700xt and can't load any games

[Seanrw]

Just keeps blacks screening and crashing. Tried unistalling old drivers(rx 580) and fresh install but I cannot get anything to load up. Got gtav to work for 30 seconds and that was it

Use DDU to install drivers and download/install fresh drivers

Already done this numerous times

Hmmm...... Update bios if you can.

 

[Seanrw]

Tried that too

Built the pc in December has a 600w psu

Had gtav in windowed mode and it worked for 30 seconds. Ran benchmarking mode and that worked. Tried to change it to fullscreen and it crashed

Exact make and model of this "600w PSU"?

5700 XT is a power hungry card. Garbage PSUs can cause this.

Evga 600w white

That's not a very good PSU.

Do you have any other PSU you can test with? I'd also suggest replacing that PSU immediately.

I don't have another one. What would you recommend?

Corsair CX 650M, it's under $100 and a solid budget PSU. Look for the 2017 units that have a grey "CX", not green.
