Hello, last year I finished my build with an used 1080 Ti AORUS XTREME instead of 1070 because I ended up with more money than I expected. I was little bit worried that my PSU (Corsair CV550) won't be enough but after reassurance from some people from this sub I decided to go for it. The day I've got my GPU I've experienced crashes in Overwatch, Cyberpunk 2077 and Unigine Heaven after around 1 minute of playing. I "solved" this problem by setting the GPU power limit to 80% while thinking it's the PSU problem. I started thinking it's the PSU because I've also tried FurMark which ran without any crashes or freezes although it got the GPU to 90-91°C where it started to thermal throttle. This made me think that if it doesn't freeze/crash with high GPU load but crashes/freezes in games with high load on both GPU and CPU it has to be PSU problem.
Fastforward to now, I've tried setting the GPU to 100% again and running Cyberpunk 2077. First few seconds were fine the temp got to 76°C and suddenly the whole PC froze and I had to restart it via power button. I also have some money that I could spend on high quality PSU but I'm not sure if that would fix the problem cause I could be tunnel visioned on the PSU and it could possibly be a GPU problem or something entirely different. Any thoughts about what could be the problem or something I could try to do to indentify it?
If you need any other info that I didn't provide I'll be more than happy to provide it asap.
PC build:
CPU: i7 4770
GPU: 1080 TI AORUS XTREME (I didn't overclocked it. Not sure what previous owner did with it.)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H
RAM: HyperX 2x8GB 1866MHz
SSD: Samsung EVO 970 500GB
Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34
Case: SilentiumPC Regnum RG6V TG
PSU: Corsair CV550 80+ Bronze (1 PCIe power cable that has two ends 8-pin/6+2-pin)
PS: English isn't my native language so I apologize for any grammatical errors.
Now I've tried running Cyberpunk 2077 and Unigine Heaven. Both crashed but this time it only crashed into desktop and didn't freeze the whole PC, in the screeshot there's my MSI Afterburner settings and two LiveKernelEvents 141 errors.
