Question XFX RX 560 4Gb

[Maddhatter2121]

Hey guys I figured I would finally post here and see if i can get a little help. I've been troubleshooting an issue since July where my computer will go to a black screen and there's a loud sound coming from the speakers.After this the computer has to be manually restarted. I have replaced the motherboard, the power supply, the hard drive and the processor. None of this fixes the issue. Sometimes it seems to be less of a problem and a game will run for a bit before crashing. Also I have to point out that older less taxing games generally don't crash the system. I have checked each RAM stick one by one for 6 - 8 hours through memtest and i realize this isn't a 100% fool proof test but im fairly confident the RAM isn't the culprit here. I have changed some of the global settings in wattman as some others have suggested across the internet which seemed to work like before, temporarily. I got desperate and also tried MSI afterburner to change some settings also to the same effect. So after I installed the brand new motherboard I decided to look into the crashes some more. I found alot of people talking about the PSU. I didn't consider this because the RX560 requires a 450w PSU and i have a brand new 600w. Now I'm starting to wonder if the PSU is just not getting enough power to the whole system to keep it stable. Hoping someone can shed some light on this situation? Here's my system specs. I also have to say i only have 2 matching RAM sticks which were part of a kit (I know this isn't ideal but I have removed all the RAm except for the kit and the crashes continue). Also I get a kernel power 41 event in the crash logs afterwards not sure if that is relevant. Appreciate any help here I'm just shy of selling everything and taking a trip around the world to forget about computers for a while.

CPU--- AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
Motherboard--- Gigabyte 970A DS3P
GPU--- XFX RX560 4gb (Unfortunately the glorified RX460 version)
PSU--- EVGA 600W 80 plus W1 series (Been told recently this is horrible?)

The Kernel 41 error is just a general power loss error, you'd get the same result from pressing the hard reset button. So it doesn't indicate a problem, just indicates that the power is being lost without a proper shutdown or reboot.

What individual core CPU temps are you reaching under load?
What GPU temps are you reaching under load?
How old is GPU?
Is latest BIOS and drivers installed?

Can also be PSU, regardless as to the age of it, a poor quality PSU can also cause problems - the W series of EVGA are poor quality so it could be this, I would just look at temps and the GPU itself first.

Yup, that WHITE PSU model from EVGA is a very low-end power supply unit. Not the very best in terms of quality/efficiency. I would definitely recommend you to grab some other high-quality power supply unit, if possible.

Edit: There is also one black Model as well. My bad....

Ok so the CPU idles around 41 C - 45 C and under load maxes out at 56 C.

The GPU idles around 48 - 49 C and under load maxes at 60 C.

Actually this isn't a white version of that PSU it's a black one. I have seen the white one though i assume its the same.

The GPU was bought brand new back in July and has done this since. I didn't return it because i thought it was a driver issue or some other component. I've ran Heaven on it with no crashes or stutters of any sort. The latest drivers are installed. I've removed and reinstalled them with DDU several times as well as did a complete wipe of the OS. I tried to go back to windows 7 thinking it might be a windows 10 issue and the same thing happens. Also tried older versions of AMD drivers and the ones included on the disc that came with the card.

This is my HWinfo log up until a crash maybe it will show whats going on? Im not super experienced with computers so I wasn't real sure what I was looking at here.
