I recently got into building pc's and I bought a new graphics card (RX580) from Powercolor. Since installing I've installed all the necessary drivers for it and installed it all correctly (I believe).
Since doing this, every time i try to benchmark my pc whenever it gets to the graphics part of the benchmark i get a blue-screen and my pc powers down.

I bought this as a start of a pc https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06Y642XNL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and since have added an extra 8 gb of RAM and recently this GPU.

Any help would be appreciated as its likely a simple problem that's easily fixable and i wouldn't want to spend a load of money getting it fixed.

Thanks in advance,

PSU make and model? Custom PC's like this use power power supplies.

Whatever PSU that thing has is probably a piece of trash that can't power it.

Also to be honest you may be disappointed in the benchmarks, your CPU is fairly low end. Will do fine on esports games, and low CPU use games, but anything heavier on the CPU will run poorly.
