Question what to do

[Raresu]

Hello everybody!Recently i upgraded my computer a bit.Bought a 8gb of ram,a new gpu and a new psu.The specs are i7-4790,12gb ddr3,radeon rx570 and a 550w cpu.I used the psu wattage calculator and some other sites to consider the psu and so i ended with this one which was supposed to work just ok with the rig.Yesterday i experienced a crash,my screen going black and a repetitive sound coming out of the speakers needing to restart the pc to make it to work again.I've read some articles about this and it's because of a underpowered psu or something.My question is do i really need to change the psu or is it even a psu problem or something else and if it comes to changing the psu could i maybe do something so that my gpu doesn't ask for so much wattage?Thanks!

I'd check your ram. Looks like you're using two different ram kits that don't work well with one another.

How are you using that PSU with an RX570 as it only has a single 6 pin.

What is the model of your RX570?

Don't. If the manufacturers of that PSU designed the PSU to handle a graphics card requiring a 6+2 pin, they would have put a 6+2 pin on it.

I would throw that PSU in the garbage and buy a good model.
