Hello forum,
I am looking to gain some insight on a new build that I just made that is less than a week old. So here is my situation. Upon building this system I ended up using my old computers power supply which is an evga 500w unit for a couple of days which might I add worked perfectly fine and had not caused me any problems gaming. I, however noticed that the minimum requirements for my GPU was a minimum of 600w. Concerned as I was, I ended up purchasing an evga 650w power supply. Now with that being said, I am unable to play my games anymore due to my computer shutting off within 3-5 minutes of being in game. I honestly do not understand what the issue is. Would anyone be able to provide any information to why this is happening with a higher powered power supply? Below I have listed the Specs of my build. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
