My pc shuts off after starting graphic intensive games

Games like Shadow of The Tomb Raider and Resident evil 2. Dirt rally works normally. Also, starting furmark test shuts off the computer. However, games do work with another GPU. I have also tried replacing the PSU to no avail. My system specs are: Radeon RX 580 ROG Strix, AMD Ryzen 2600x, B450 Pro-F motherboard, 16 GB viper memory 3200 mhz, Corsair Tx550m.

Is my GPU failing?

I would raise the Power Limit slider to +50. This is a common setting needed for stability on many of these cards. If that doesn't help then you may have a bad GPU. I would talk to tech support from the company who made your card about how to proceed. Or return the card if it is still in a return period.

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured out the problem. I overclocked my ram to 3000 mhz, which caused instability of my system. So it seems I can't tweak my ram, which is a shame because it is rated for 3200 mhz and now it runs at 2133 mhz.
