7800xt crashes

Recently switched from a 3060ti to a 7800xt. When I’m doing normal task there are zero issues with stability. Playing a couple games like Fortnite , COD 3 I get random shutdowns. There’s been many complaints about this latest Fortnite update. So I’m not sure what it could be. All drivers are up to date. I’ve tried stress testing with Cinebench and futuremark. There’s no shutdowns. Does adrenaline settings cause conflicts that could create shutdowns? It’s not a heat issue my temps were in the mid 40s when it shut off each time. I never had shutdowns like this with the 3060ti. I am lost on what else to try at this point.

forgot to mention I have Corsair Rm850e PS. I spoke with a salesman at Microcenter mentioned I wanted a PSU strong enough for a 7900xtx they recommended an 850 watt

Thanks you

I’ve uninstalled adrenaline and the reinstalled it. Left everything on default. Was able to play Fortnite for about 75 minutes and then had other things to do. Game has a bit stutter but I can adjust in game settings to cure that

I returned the Merc card a few weeks ago. Last night I picked a Sapphire Nitro 7800xt from microcenter. So far no issues. Played a bit of Fortnite to test it out. 30 minutes in and temps are mid 50s and mid 60s at the hotspot. I am happy with this card
