Think you just need a better quality psu. What parts you have right now can be run by a good quality 550watt psu so don't yourself blind at getting something high wattage.

i know what you mean but something still isn't right an it's nerve-wracking with it being my first build and all besides it had cost the same for the 700w psu

Have Latest bios? Might help

Can check temps and voltages with hwinfo,

download hwinfo64,
install and open it,
check "sensors-only",
click "run".

 

[tao6424]

Bios is up-to-date
would show you but don't know how to upload screenshots here
but i already have hwinfo64 and it looks fine from my end i think
temps look fine but not so sure about voltage

 

[Vic 40]

would show you but don't know how to upload screenshots here

For pictures,

You can use Imgur to post a picture here,use the "img" link.
Click "new post" ->choose "upload images" -> "browse" ->choose the picture and click "open" ->put cursor on the picture that you uploaded->choose "share links" and copy the img link,paste it in your next post.

here this is the specs from
Hwinfo it might be small

Only thing out of the ordinary this shows is that your ram isn't running at the xmp speeds, so is A-XMP enabled in the bios?

But since nothing shows can i still only think about either psu, which i personally suspect, or gpu, which at the moment i can only think of besides psu being wrong. Might be that the gpu suddenly asks for a very high load, called "Transient Spikes", which the psu can't handle, guess this happens.

Could try and test out of the case, "breadboarding", and see if anything in the case itself might cause a short.

It's a low quality PSU at any wattage.

It may not resolve the issue, but the first thing I'd do is make sure I had a quality PSU in there.

 

[tao6424]

so it might be the new PSU that i just put in?
a 700W 80+ white?

It's not a lack of wattage. It's just an extremely poor quality PSU.

 

[tao6424]

well thats is what i'm asking do i need to get a white, bronze, gold, or platinum?
so far 2 people have said the same thing but not dropped a hint of answering this part and Vic has said it might be

Transient Spikes

in my GPU so it's a bit confusing

These are efficiency ratings. These are not quality ratings.

There are PSU reviews here at Tom's and at TechPowerUp. You can read them.

There's also a sticky in these forums that talks about "tiers" of PSU quality.

 

[tao6424]

ahh i see now it so a PSU in group C or higher might help?

That is not the problem, that just happens, the problem is the psu which cannot handle those. Well at least that is what i think might be the problem.

Tier B and up, not Tier C, which is for cheap, low-end systems, not something with a 2060 Super and a 3600X.

Buy a good PSU once a decade instead of a junk PSU repeatedly.
