[SOLVED] why is my gpu turning off when i benchmark it?

[nabest27]

ive done my research and my evga 550w gold psu should be enough for my rx 580 8gb, then why is it shutting down when i benchmark it?? i can play games just fine. but when i benchmark my whole system it just turns off

what other parts do you have?

 

[nabest27]

cpu: ryzen 5 2600
Ram: corsair 16 gb 3200 mhz
Storage: 3tb hdd and a 500gb m.2 ssd

It might be that the power supply can't handle the full system at load. I'm not sure though.

dang really. to be honest im not even sure if my gpu is the main problem here, when i tried over voltaging my gpu from 950 to 1150 it turned off, maybe it is the psu, but many online forums said 550w psu is good and i can even over clock it

 

[computerjoe314]

Where did they say that?

RX 580 8GB + 550w PSU?

I was thinking of buying a Gigabyte AORUS RX 580 8GB to go along with my Ryzen 3 2200g but I was wondering if my CoolerMaster MWE 550w 80 Plus Bronze PSU would be good enough? The recommended PSU for the 580 was 500w but should I upgrade just to be safe? Or should I just get a GTX 1060 6GB in...

Is my 550W PSU enough for RX 580?

I have an OCZ ZS 550W 80+ bronze PSU and am looking to upgrade my GPU. Will this PSU be enough for it? Specs: I7-4770 AsRock b85 pro4 Kingston 2x8GB 1600Mhz DDR3

550W 80+ Gold PSU enough for r5 2600 + Rx 580 + 2-fan water cooling ?

I'm building a new PC case at the moment. My specs are : ryzen 5 2600, XFX Rx 580 8gb, 16gb RAM 300mHz ddr4, Asus B450m motherboard, ssd NVMe Kingston 250gb and an Enermax 2 fan water cooling ( it says TDP 350W+ which I dont understand, may need explanation too ) . What I'm concerned is that...

PSU might be underpowered at max loadout; I assume you are running the latest drivers for your GPU?

What games are you using to bench mark? Have you tried Heaven to benchmark? What are your CPU temps?

 

[RobCrezz]

PSU can be one of the things, but you have decent unit unless its faulty.


Try underclocking the GPU in afterburner by about 100mhz, apply it and see if it crashes while underclocked - have seen a few that work fine when underclocked, if thats the case then return it for a new one.

What PSU is it exactly?

I have the latest radeon software ver. 19.2.2 and I'm using the userbenchmark for my benchmark idk exactly how to see my CPU temps

EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3

I dont know how to use Afterburner but I did use the Amd global wattman I tried undercoating it there but it crashed regardless.

undervolting isnt what you want to do. You want to reduce the clock speed of the gpu.

I also noticed that

my bad, I cant reduce the core clock below 670 mhz

you're right I had to reduce my clock speed my about 3 percent, now i can benchmark it properly. I did it in the wattman though not in afterburner

 

[RobCrezz]

yeah doesnt matter what program.

You should return it for a new one, as its clearly not stable at the stock clock speed.
