My current setup: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ndsNxc
I upgraded from:
Mobo: Asus b350-f -> b550 gaming plus
Cpu: Ryzen 1600 - > 5600x
GPU: gtx1060 -> rtx3060ti
Problem: Opening games like Overwatch or even nvidia display settings or geforce causes my computer to freeze and I have to hard reset my computer.
I have an inkling it may be my b550 mobo. This is my 3rd board of this model. The first 2 wouldn't flash bios. 3rd one flash bios but Ethernet Port does not work. I have an ASUS b550-f coming in and hoping that may resolve these issues.
I looked up PSU wattage problems and it matches my situation exactly with programs freezing when launching. I have a 750w psu which is more than enough. It's been around 4-5 years though, maybe its time to get a new one? Pcpartpicker calculated my build to be ~400w. So maybe I can try grabbing a 500w+ psu and see if that'll help?
Any ideas would be great. Is it a mobo or psu issue or am I missing something else?
