New PC build crashes when starting up games.
Build Specs:
MSI x470 Gaming Pro Motherboard
AMD Radeon RX580 Series
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Sandisk SSD
Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 ddr4 3000mhz
EVGA 450 BT PSU
Crucial MX500 SSD
I tried reinstalling drivers and updating the next to latest drivers for the gpu, I can run games that aren't that demanding (Old School Runescape, Binding of Isaac) and they work great. When I try to play more demanding games (Subnautica, Warthunder) they start and almost immediately the game crashes or the whole pc crashes. I noticed in Warthunder if I turned the graphics from High to Low the game would run but if I tried to join a match it would crash as soon as it tried to render the map.
This is my first PC build and I've been trying to figure it out but that's as far as I have gotten and would greatly appreciate any help. My next thought is maybe the psu is too small? PCPartPicker said the rig would only put out a max of 285W so I thought a 450 would be fine. Thanks again in advance for any help/advice.
Update: Just opened the case up to check gpu connections. The fans aren't even spinning on the card... there's a blue light on where it's plugged into psu and connection seems good, also a red led on the mobo at the pcie slot which means that connection is good as well.
