Question PC crashes when loading into a game

[Peasoupdoughboy]

Hi all,
hoping someone can help, here's what I'm running:

Ryzen 7 5700X cpu
MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus motherboard
AMD Radeon 6750 XT gpu
16GB Corsair Vengeance ram (compatible, although I thought this was the problem and bought different compatible ram and it wouldn't work?!?)
Thermalright PA 120 SE cpu cooler
Samsung 970 EVO M.2 drive
WD blue 3D nand 1TB SSD drive
6 case fans in my Fractal Design Focus G
Corsair CX750M 80plus bronze psu

The SSD is NOT in slot one or two of the sata plug ins, as I've read those are wonky with this motherboard.

BIOS is up to date (March 01, 2023)
Driver for GPU is up to date (March 01, 2023)
Chipset is up to date (March 01, 2023)

From what I'm reading, maybe its not enough power? I am typing this on the above computer and I can watch YouTube videos all night without any problems, but when I go to play a game, crash!
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks

How old is that Corsair CX750M PSU? History of heavy use for gaming, video editing, or even bit-mining?

What game or games crash the computer?

Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer.

Either one or both tools may be capturing some error, warning, or even an informational event just before or at the time of the crashes.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
The PSU is from 2019 and had most of its use over COVID lockdown playing Warzone.
Warzone and Pubg(only games I've tried) crashes the computer although Pubg takes a lot longer to do so.
I'll see if I can find reliability history and event viewer and see what it says.
Cheers

@Ralston18
I'm not sure what I'm looking for in event viewer, a few error codes but Google search says they are to do with license of my non activated Windows program.
Edit, found an error 41 kernal power, windows shut down unexpectedly. From what I can find online its usually caused by Overclocking, corrupt or outdated drivers, issues with RAM, or power supply.
I've ran a memory test through windows with no issues found, I haven't overclocked anything, drivers have been updated, but how would I test the power supply?
Cheers
