First, i'm 5 days over warranty deadline so i cannot return anything unfortunately. I am entirely new to this as well, it was a prebought PC from Newegg.
A month ago i bought this computer and it was working fine. Every now and then my PC would restart when playing certain games. I can't remember but i think RDR2 started the crashes, perhaps some lower level games as well. However in the last 3 days, I can't play ANYTHING above something like Runescape. RDR2 crashes in 2 min of gameplay. ATLAS (pirate ARK) in the same amount of time.
GPU had a bad "slot" in the mobo when it arrived due to careless UPS, these forced restarts made it so i couldn't even see my HDMI screen anymore. I put the GPU in a second slot and i no longer have an HDMI error, but now my computer just restarts every time i play an intensive game. It never actually turns off though. I'm assuming this is the PSU? Perhaps too much heat? This computer should handle these games nicely at 60fps so i don't understand the issue.
If i DO need a new PSU, what would be a good compatible one with my specs? Price isn't an issue as long as it's not outrageous. If it's the GPU dying though i'm going to be super pissed because that's arguably the most expensive hardware in my PC
Specs :
16 GB DDR4 memory
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8 GB GDDR6
PSU - 550W 80+ Bronze (after researching i think this MAY be the issue, a faulty PSU. Don't hold me to that though)
Case - Rosewill SPECTRA D100 ATX Mid Tower With Tempered Glass Case (4 x 120 mm RGB fans)
OS - Win10 64bit.
Mobo - AMD B450.
CPU - Ryzen 5 3rd Gen, 3600 (3.60 GHz), 64 bit 6-Core 12-Thread Processor
