[SOLVED] PC crashing...

[Bohrk]

Hey guys

I made an upgrade for my pc and now it crashes sometimes when i play some more complex games like Battlefield 1..
So this is my Setup atm:
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700
Motherboard: MSI B350 Gaming Plus
RAM: 2x8 G.SKILL Ripjaws V 3200
Power supply: Corsair VS 550
(I think i updated all drivers + BIOS)

Im not rly into this hardware stuff so
any ideas?

What was the component you upgraded?

I Upgraded: GPU, CPU, Motherboard, RAM

When you upgraded did you do a clean install of Windows?

 

[PC Tailor]

Are you running any overclock anywhere or even XMP on your RAM at all?
Does it only ever crash under load?
Have you monitored CPU core (not just whole package) temps and GPU temps under load?

yes

Temperature seems ok even under load (stays under 60°C)

 

[WildCard999]

Is that a older Corsair VS PSU? They really aren't a unit that I would put into a gaming build and since this only happens when your heavily gaming then the next thing I'd suspect is the PSU.

There is a option called A-XMP 2 in BIOS menu which i use right now, but it crashes without it too
Yeah it only crashes when i play bigger games

Yes its a bit older (some years)

Yes its a bit older (some years)

I'd replace it then.

So that is a good PSU?

One of the best units out there for the price and has a 7 year warranty.

Only iterating what @WildCard999 has already said. My next option was to point out the VS series- many of us have had countless issues with these PSUs.
And the Seasonic one WildCard has suggested is fantastic ( I Use the FOCUS PLUS series myself which comes with 10 years ).

Even if the problem doesn't turn out to be the PSU (which it very well could be with the VS series) - you've not lost by upgrading to the Seasonic. You can also then rest easy knowing your components are safe.
