This is probably a problem with my PSU which is a low quality one that i will be changing soon but i just want to make sure if it maybe isnt an issue with something else. So what happens is whenever i either play a demanding game (in this case Metro Exodus) or i stress test my gpu it shuts down after i quit the game or when i end the stress test. I tried playing other games like Tarkov and DayZ and this happens only in Metro so far. Stress test i used was Furmark on 4k resolution and it worked perfectly fine for 10 minutes with temps not going over the 77c mark but as soon as i clicked escape to end the test my pc shut down.
My components are:
CPU Ryzen 5 1600 stock clocks
GPU RX 580 8gb Sapphire Nitro+ stock
Ram 8gb Hyperx predator 3000mhz
PSU Raidmax rx500xt
Motherboard Asrock ab350m
 
Solution
Pick up an expensive PSU from a local store that has a good return policy. Test it with that. Return or keep the PSU depending on results/how you'd like to handle.
