Hi, I have recently build my own pc. I have a Ryzen 3 2200g APU and wanted to upgrade my graphics. I have been looking out for a RX 580, so I bought one(8GB). I have installed te GPU to my motherboard, connected the cables, and screwed it on. I turned on my computer and it did well(ran at 720p at first). I installed the latest recommended deivers and went on playing csgo. I was in mid game and my pc crashed, I restarted it again an d played on. I noticed a bad factory new smell from the gpu(smelled like fish lol). I didn't really care tbh. So I started a new game, and my PC crashed again(I actually wanted to find the problem here). I tried to restart it again but it wouldn't turn on. Not even a light of life. I thought that it was probably the PSU that did this. So I checked if my cables where correctly connected. I wanna ask you guys if I should buy a new PSU or if it is something else that i should care about. My specs are:
AMD Ryzen 3 2200g(OC to 3.8ghz)
Asrock AB350M-HDV
Msi Radeon RX580 8GB(just delivered yesterday)
EWENT EW3900 500w psu
2x4GB 2400mhz.
 
Get a better psu for that GPU. That thing is questionable
Absolutely what he said I would try the system without the new card to see if it works like it did before. However, I cannot stress enough how important a good quality PSU is when building a PC. You may be building on a budget, but an efficient PSU that provides consistent, clean power is the heartbeat of any build. Off brand PSU's tend to not provide the wattage that they are rated for, while many name brand PSU's provide more than the amount they are rated for just to keep it safe. I would recommend using a PSU calculator such as this one:

I'm a huge fan of Seasonic products but anything that's at least 80+ bronze rated is a good place to start. You can often find some decent deals with rebates at various websites. Look around and let us know what happens. RX 580's can be power hungry if they aren't undervolted and that PSU may not be supplying enough power.
