I have an RX 580 8 GB and Ryzen 5 2400G with 2x8 GB RAM 3000 MHz and I have around 36-50% GPU Usage and 80-99 CPU Usage (I can't overclock anything without getting blue screens btw)

400W is the wattage, while Corsair is the Brand of the PSU. You forgot to include the series for the PSU. You will need at least a 550W PSU for the entire system as a minimum. I'd add some more wattage to the PSU number if you want to overclock on the system.

Your issues are caused by that PSU - now change it ASAP before you permanently damage everything you paid for.

But the most power consumption I get is around 150 Watt when the GPU is at 80-95%.
Oh and I forgot to tell you I have this problem only on Fortnite

Edit: I also fixed the High CPU Usage my only problem right now is the Low GPU Usage On Fortnite

So I changed the PSU to a Bequiet 600W Power 9 80 PLUS Bronze and I still have the same problem but only with the LOW GPU usage
