Hello,recently due to my PC lagging and crashing without apparent reason a few times,i have decided to upgrade the PSU (Xilence Performance A+ 630W and i have it for 2-3~ years) which i suspect it is the culprit here (correct me if i'm wrong)

I'm between the multi-rail Enemrax Revolution D.F. 750W PSU and the single rail Adata XPG Core reactor 750W

Both are great options for me,tho i would prefer to buy the enermax psu over Adata due to the quality (Flat cables etc.) but i'm worried if the multi-rail will be able to support my power-hungry (somewhat) GPU.I don't plan to have a dual-gpu system in the future.

Specs:
MSI B450 A-PRO Max (Default factory bios)
Ryzen 5 2600X
Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro
Toshiba P300
G.Skill Aegis 2x8GB 2133 Mhz
and my old PSU which i plan on replacing Xilence Performance A+ 630W

other things you could check first:

to have a look what the problem could be:
run userbenchmark.com and post the http link of your result, e.g. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/28977730

Reset the BIOS by jumper clrCMOS or JBAT or similar (eventually you will have to set the boot priority correctly after that)

check windows integrity
open the command prompt as administrator and type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

clean boot

check the memory by running memtest.org usb autoinstaller (bootable USB flash drive)

check the hard drive for errors with its manufacturer´s tool

use ddu uninstaller and reinstall the latest graphics driver

update the BIOS of your motherboard

In the past it didn't do such things,so the memory is out of the question
I will try and update the bios as well later and tell you
Memory is fine and in the supported list of the motherboard,didn't encounter such problems before
I don't think it's a windows Integrity problem,more of a hardware issue as the sound lags and then the (probably) CPU crashes and im prompted into a black screen
Tho the CPU is new and it crashed like 2 times,in the past my CPU and Motherboard got fried of the PSU (which still works tho) and i replaced them both,that's why i suspect the PSU

The GPU might be the culprit,but idk if this is because of the PSU.Anyhow im gonna give you my old system's userbenchmark and my new's
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/14065436 OLD
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/36546986 NEW

I have an HD 7970 GPU which i can try.

Both the Enermax and the Adata are listed here as very high quality models. Pick whichever model you like the best. The Enermax has multiple ports for PCIe cables to power the 275 watt Fury GPU. You can use separate cables to power your Fury if you want instead of a single cable with 2 connectors.

update your amd.com graphics driver
clean install it or try ddu uninstaller to remove all GPU drivers and install the latest driver

Did you freshly install windows or reset it while using the newer hardware? (backup important data before)
To be honest,no,but i think i will format it today if i have the time of course.The sapphire drivers are non-existent today cause sapphire has moved their website,and those drivers are installed along with the AMD Radeon hub,settings whatever that program is

these are oudated drivers. Uninstall the AMD hub, sapphire software and other tools you might have installed, use this one:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/grap.../amd-radeon-r9-fury-series/amd-radeon-r9-fury
I think the PSU is burnt,HD7970 crashed at the plane userbenchmark.Before I made the upgrade,the PSU cable got fried and it took with it the CPU and Mobo,I still used the PSU cause I thought it was only the cable burnt... Anyhow,I will change the PSU to the Enermax Revolution D.F. 750W
