[SOLVED] My Computer restarts randomly Rx 5700 xt

[SilverBullet47]

Hello !
My PC restarts while i am playing with 99% GPU(RX 5700 XT) usage but when i limit fps in 60 the GPU usage is 50 - 60 % the PC work perfectly . I concluded that my PSU is not enough for my config (Corsair CX 600) it forced to reboot the PC when it cant provide enough power under 99 % GPU usage but its can do fine under 60 % usage . but today my PC restarts while i am watching a video on YouTube .
I was relieved but when my PC restarts on YouTube whit low power consume I'm starting to worry.


Thank you !


My Setup :
CPU : AMD Ryzen 3600
GPU : AMD RX 5700 xt
MOBO : MSI B450 A pro
RAM : Kingston hyper X fury 2x8 3466 MHz
STORAGE : Kingston SSD480 G
STORAGE : WD 750 NVME 500 G
PSU : Corsair CX 600 watts

A Corsair CX600 was just an ok PSU when it released like 8 years ago.

A not high-end PSU from nearly a decade ago with less than the 650w recommended for a 5700xt is a poor idea quite frankly. I would have not expected any different performance.

Here is a replacement suggestion:

PSU is old and could be failing to provide the required power, even when under partial load.

Thank you for the answer , Im wondering if my psu could crash even the GPU load is very low ?

It should be able to power the GPU but if it's failing it won't matter how much load is on it. It's not a great model to begin with. You don't need a lot more power but you do need a PSU made from better quality components.
