Which 500W Corsair PSU? The only 500W PSUs I remember from them are some pretty bad decade-old CX series PSUs and a very entry level VS 500.

Can you be *specific* about the behavior? "Not working properly" can mean a whole lot of different things.

Cx500m corsair don't think its power supply

Got a MSI rx470 4gb Armoured maybe OC
I installed AMD driver but the driver was not working then I did some google got a patch "aktimdag patch" it worked driver started to work . then when I started games like Resident evil 4 remake I get "FATAL ERROR D3D 25" the game did booted with 800x600 but there were flickering of graphics all around Same for Resident evil 3 remake. Launched hitman works fine but then same graphics flickering. Cs2 it also has flickering but the whole GPU or PC crashes while fan still spinning. Also tried some other games NFS MW 2012 (high graphics) works fine tried COD BO2 (High) was running but GPU or CPU crashes.

I think it might me bios because after mining GPU they always flash to original bios which I cannot find. I tried tried all MSI's armoured OC VBIOS file from tech power up.

GPU s/n 602-V341-152SB1706027336
My main GPU died and had this back up GPU please if someone can help me please do

By crashes, do you mean crashing to desktop, blue screens, or the PC going off? Do you get this message for all games or just Resident Evil 4 remake? These are all different things. Again, be *specific* about what's going on. We're not at your PC so we can only see what you tell us. If the PC is turning off, then yes, the PSU is a suspect. This isn't a two-year-old quality PSU, it's a rather poor quality one that hasn't even been manufactured in a decade. And what do you mean by "the driver was not working?" Also, that patch is to lift resolution/refresh limits, I'm not sure what it's even doing being involved here.

If the BIOS for the model of GPU isn't working, my best guess is that the seller got you to pay for a failing GPU. Hopefully, you bought it on a platform, like eBay, that has buyer protections and you can get a refund. Things like Facebook Marketplace are popular places for people to scam people with dying or fake GPUs.

When installed First amd driver this error pops up code 43 which is related to mining bios GPU that's why i patched to run the driver and then the GPU starts working.

All of them crashes to desktop. And no only resident evil 4 remake and 3 remake pops up the D3D error while all other crashes.I think it might be and drivers because whenever the game crashes I also do get amd drivers crashed dialogue box.

I also tried stress test (furmark) which is working fine I don't what to do now

What errors codes, warnings, or informational events, if any, are being captured via Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer?

Especially any errors just before or at the time of the crashes.

Error occurs after the game crashes

"AMD bug report too"

"AMD software detected that a driver timeout has occurred on you system. An issue has been created that can be sent to AMD to help us improve our software. Would you like to report this issue?

This the error that occurs every game crashes.
But does not during stress test.

It's basically this YouTube video but his bios flash boots up GPU mine doesn't and he has the variant as my one

And if I don't flash the bios I'm stuck with mining modded bios which after driver installed needs patch but whenever I run new PC games it crashes with the AMD bug tool error.

I am not a fan of "stress tests" per se. To me a "stress test" continues until something breaks and no manufacturer is going to release a stress test that will actually break the end user's computer.

The cited errors appear to be by AMD.

What is also of interest are the errors being captured by Microsoft's OS via Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer.

Start with Reliabiity History/Monitor. Much more end user friendly and the time line format can reveal patterns.

Take a look and focus in on Critical errors (red circles). Take some screenshots showing actual error codes and post the screenshots here via imgur (www.imgur.com).

Event Viewer requires more time and effort to navigate and understand.
