[SOLVED] PSU is failing or GPU.

[somesh101]

I have a custom built system with the following configuration.
Mother board : MSI B350 tomahawk
GPU : MSI GTX 1060 6GB OC
processor : Ryzen 1600
ram : Ripjaws 8GB
storage : Kingston A400 480GB SSD and 2 HDD
PSU : Cooler Master GX 550

i have a fresh install of windows and all drivers. During gameplay or graphic intensive program screen will go all black and windows just boot again without any shutdown.
i checked CPU with prime 95 20-30 max temp 84C nothing breaks.

while doing unigen heaven
system crashed
GPU clock all stock
and temp ~60 C crash.
1st run 61 C
2nd run 65 C
under clocked the GPU 100mh on clock and memory and system ran fine 15-20 min.
witing 15-20 min of game play system crashes.
THANX in ADVANCE

Does sound like the system can't handle a sustained high load. The gx psu series is from quite a long time ago and was just mediocre back then. How long have you had this?

According to the review I've seen, the GX550 use Su'scon capacitors on the outputs, which makes them third tier or so for quality. Your issues could very well be due to a sub-par PSU, especially if you've owned it for a while.

Use[ hwinFo64 ] with Msi after burner and run the game , Show the wattage that are taken my the GPU and see if it's stable or not

thanx everyone for the replies last night I uninstalled the Nvidia drivers and played the game without any hiccup at all.
I had 416.34 Driver. seems it was temporary... issue still persists.

Just little over a year.

it has 100% japanese capacitors if not all. and it's just little over a year now.

Still it's not a good psu and I'm supprised you were still able to find one considering these haven't been made in ages.

according to reviews i found it good enough for my build but not great either and it's their last iteration with100% Japanese capacitors.

if it is not made any longer then good for me if i go for replacement i am going to get something better then this.

PSU is fine, if my VS550 orange handled GTX 470 and RX 480 without issue for months, there is an driver issue rather, try older drivers.

i did try that i am getting same problem with 398, 390, 397 and 416

Well, that brings as they might guessed PSU issue.
There are reports okay on GX 650W since I couldn't find GX 550W that 12V rail drops under 11.5V.
I would try GPU in another system and if it runs fine, then as here said, PSU is issue, if not then its GPU.

i am kind of stuck it can be gpu issue or psu issue. or something else entirely caused by something else.
i guess i will do that now.

Sounds like the crap psu is the problem to be honest.
