Question Random reboots after installing new graphics card

[xjjeepman]

Hello all, I recently installed a GeForce GTX 1660 Super Gaming XBV Graphics card by MSI in my Dell XPS 8700 PC. Since installing the graphics card, the PC randomly restarts by itself. Just a random reboot for no reason? No errors. The specs for the graphics card were a 450 W Power Supply so I should be OK there. My PC has Windows 10 64 bit OS, 32 GB G.Skill RAM. Any ideas as to what the issue maybe? TIA

Thanks, so go with the 650W unit and that should work for my Dell? Plug and play?

It should work no problem.

Just installed the 650W Antec PSU and went to fire up the game and it crashed/rebooted again. I'm pulling my hair out! Any ideas??

Can you take a screenshot of your pc open the side panel?

Sure- before and after the new PSU pics- don't be too hard on me I know the wiring is sloppy but not much room to make it nice

It happens mostly when launching the game/during and also when watching videos on youtube etc. I just dont get it. Other than that its fine for browsing the internet all day.
