[SOLVED] Psu question.

[Sheep500]

Hi folk.
Just a question regarding power supply.
I have a 600w or 650W Coolermaster psu in a windows 10 system with an AMD Vega 64 Gpu, 3 SSD’s, 16 Gb ddr4 and an i5 8400 CPU.
In recent weeks the pc has reset at random times during gaming sessions with windows kernel power 41 blue screens.
Could this be a psu issue?
I’ve also noticed gpu usage drops which causes frame rate drops.
Can a psu issue cause stuttering issues also?
I’ve monitored temperatures and all seem fine. Vega 64 rarely goes above 75c and CPU is usually 60’sC
Any help much appreciated.

I had same issue, that was bad RAM overlock, but for you, it might be anything, but if PSU is old and kinda with old technology in it, I guess it could be PSU too, you can only buy one, test it, and if it's still doing that weird things, return it to the store, or ask I friend for PSU

Thank you Jade. It’s a tricky one. I forgot to mention that the CPU and Ram are only a couple of years old as us the motherboard. The psu is probably four or five years old. Possibly more?
With the latest GPU’s on the horizon I wasn’t sure what do to as it’ll be a massive outlay.

oh well, 4-5 years is a lot, technologies changed strongly, you gotta move for new PSU probably, but idk what's your choice and everything, in my country leader is CoolerMaster MWE WHITE/BRONZE

Ok well I’ll probably add on a new PSU to the list if I get a GPU then. Thanks for your help. I’ve heard the latest GPU’s require at least 750w PSU’s anyway.
