[SOLVED] New GPU install, system keeps shutting off

[loogey22]

I upgraded my GPU from a 1070 Founders Edition to a 2070 Super. I uninstalled drivers, installed the 2070 Super, and installed its drivers.

Everything was great, saw improved FPS, but while playing Warzone my PC would completely turn off as I was deploying in the game. Turned back on no problem, but would do the same thing. Has happened 5 consecutive times.

I can’t say I’m the most PC part savvy. Any help is really appreciated!

My part list:
Old GPU: 1070 Founders Edition
New GPU: 2070 Super Windforce OC 3X
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
MB: Asus ROG Strix B550-F WiFi
PSU: Corsair CX750M
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200

Current psu can't handle the new gpu. That's about as simple as it gets.

Everywhere I’ve looked it says a 750 is plenty to run it. What would you recommend?

i don't think so have seen people running rtx 2070 on a seasonic s12iii 650w and that is worse than what he has

Typically, I'd agree, and initially was my first thought, given that the 2070 Super is 215W compared to the 1070's 150W - but the CX750M isn't a bad PSU. It's not my first choice, but it's not a bad one - this makes me more hesitant to think it's the PSU.

But, that said...
@loogey22 - how old is the PSU?

 

[XxDarkMario20xX]

Just reading this thread PSU is not bad but could the PSU be on the path of failing and I would test an new PSU in your system. If PSU show signs of failing then I would not risk playing games on it at the moment!

Corsair TX, RM, RMX
Seasonic Focus Gold
Thermaltake Toughpower
I could go on and on...

Ok. I'm all ears eyes as to what you believe the real issue is here, if all the OP changed was the gpu.

Typically, I'd agree, and initially was my first thought, given that the 2070 Super is 215W compared to the 1070's 150W - but the CX750M isn't a bad PSU.

We both know it's a somewhat cheaply made, but rather 'meh' psu. It's not going to blow anything up... but the 2070 Super is anything but those.

this makes me more hesitant to think it's the PSU.

Typo?

It’s only a few months old. A friend gave me his 1070 as I was building a new pc. I decided I wanted to upgrade to the 2070 super. So the whole system is only like 3 months old. All new parts.

It’s a brand new unit. Only 2 months old at best.

the psu itself isn't bad,But it could be falling like XxDarkMario20xX said

Try your pc with a different power supply (a good 600w+ unit) in a pc shop or whatever that is the only way to know or u can download hwinfo and tell us the 12v,5v,3.3v rails readings

Yeah the thing is that even new PSU or couple months old PSU can fail so would suggest to look into the PSU and see if there other signs!. I had PSU hardly Under 6 months old and it blew up it was an good strong one!

 

[thekillerx10]

so would suggest to look into the PSU and see if there other signs!

i wouldn't recommend opening a psu for an untrained person the capacitors could have some electricity in it (deadly ones)

Sorry so sleepy dont mean look into the PSU. I mean was look to see if there anymore signs of it failing like being load or making funny noices and such!

It's fine, also op listen if there is weird sounds with your psu like very high one

Okay, I’ll have to try that at the start of next week. I’m currently on my way out of town. I’ll fill you guys in once I get back. Appreciate your help!

There was a whining noise of sorts. I figured it could’ve been the new GPU as some reviews stated some slight fan noises.

probably the coil whine

How is any of that different from my initial response??? Like, come on, ladies and gents!

Was it too simple?
All the other responses still point to the psu...

Bah! Moving on...

CX is a meh PSU? Sure hope my Ryzen 9 3900X doesn't trash it then.

 

[Scarekrow868]

This happened to me on my last gpu and turned out something was overheating, it stopped shutting down when i simply left my case open....

 

[Phaaze88]

A)Corsair's CXM line - not the CX - isn't a piece of crap, but not something I, at least, wouldn't pair a 2070 Super with, but would be more comfortable using with a 1660 Super/2060/RX 5700 instead.

B)Internal component quality > wattage. New users often have this backwards.
CXM is like the bare minimum of Corsair's product line I'd consider using on a gaming graphics card - much less, a high end one.

C)The 3700X would need to be sitting at 95C for an extended period of time to force a system shut down. For the 2070 Super, it's 88C instead. I saw no mention of either of those kinds of thermals.

D)Aside from the internal component quality, power supplies can also overheat. They have the unique trait of shutting off and refusing to power on until they have cooled down.
I saw no mention of this, so the current psu isn't overheating, at least.

CXM - the M model. Not the CX. CXM is slightly worse.
You do know that the gpu is the most stressful part of a PC that psus have to deal with, right? Cpus are a cakewalk.

I got these from the BIOS.
12v - 12.075
5v - 5.020
3.3v - 3.264

That should be fine, as i said you can try different power supply in a pc shop
