[SOLVED] PC Restarts While Gaming

[R4venDeath]

Hello
I bought RX 580 8GB Nitro+ used and i tested it before buying with fur mark and witcher 3 and it worked great at that time gpu max temp was 73 and no issues
then i installed it on my old thermaltake 450w and after 2 days it stopped working it was an old one from 2012 and i think it was faulty cause it made the hdd cable burn
so i changed it with cooler master 500w used on the seller was using on rx 580 sepcial edition and bought an external sata to 8 pin cable and it got burned again so i changed then i bought a new Electric switch and replaced the cable then that problem is gone , now when ever i stayin game for 10-20 min thepc restart it self i tried devil may cry 5 , dragon ball xenoverse 2 same problems i tried to test gpu with fur mark after the restart but thepc restarts it self fast this time like just when i open it , i was using msi afterburner for 100% fan before testing and if i opened the pc without openning any game and testing the gpu it works really without restarts some times it does i tried aida 64 for ram stress and fur mark for cpu stress no problems with stability during the tests so now i don't know what's the problem is

You need a minumum of a high quality 500W PSU for the RX580, neither your 450W thermaltake or Cooler master 500W are enough for the RX580.

Something like this is perfect:

it worked for the seller for 1 year so why it didn't work for me ?
and you sure it's the power that has the problem or the vga ?

This one is also not bad but not as good as the Seasonic:

First you are using a lower wattage PSU, second you can't guess when the system would blow up as every component is different.
The PSU is the most critical part of your PC and should never be ignored. Its like buying a Ferrari and running it using the least octane fuel.

Never use converters with a PSU it will make things unstable and blow up. You used a SATA to 8 pin connector?? That's dangerous.

Burns and random shutdowns/restarts without error message is always PSU.

From that list I would only get the EVGA one but if you can get a cheaper 550W or 650W it would be better as 750W is overkill.

 

[Zizo007]

An EVGA G3 550 or 650W is enough but if only the 750W is available I would pick it. You can read this for better understaing what's good and what's bad:

Thank you sadly 750w in the only one that's available i'll pick it whenever i can, also for future if i upgraded my gpu i don't want to change my power again

I'd get the EVGA unless the Bitfenix is significantly cheaper as it's not a bad unit just not as good as the G3. .
