PC Graphics

[Myuzen]

Hello, my pc crashes with a colour screen (Most of the time black screen but depends) and then i have to force restart the pc, normally occurs after half an hour of playing games like Dota 2 or Hollow knight, but sometimes the crash happens after just 10 minutes or playing (Subnautica, Valheim, Outer wilds) this doesn't happens in every game (for example: Tabletop simulator, R6 Siege, and mostly low req games) I though i solved it lowering the max frequency for like 9 - 11% but after a week it started again and more frequently, its very random i cannot find the source of the problem.

I have this GPU since 2019 and as far as i remember, this always happened.

GPU: AMD RX 580 8GB Phantom gaming

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600

PSU: Sentey SDP550

Your PSU is really bad (32A on 12v rail)..

It is also a very cheap make, I run an RX 580 and my PSU is seasonic 850w..

850w is over doing it, but you have to take into account your other PC parts..

I think you really need to upgrade the PSU to a good make 600w, corsair, seasonic 80+ gold..

Yeah, as i supposed, there is a way to solve it without replacing it? because i can't do it for now

did you solve the problem? this is happening to me for like a week , when te graphics crash it goes black and y need to restart my computer, then install again the adrenaline program, and take a long time to get ready, then crashes again.

i dont know enough to figure it out whats going on

No way to solve, without a new PSU..

I had issues on my wife's setup running a Thermaltake 500wt RGB 80 White PSU .. switched to a Segotep (big in China) 600wt 80+ Gold and problem solved

I was having issues on a budget build I was putting together to sell using a 550wt 80+ Bronze OK lower end PSU (I forget exact name) .. I'd get black screens just running an older Quadro 4000 2GB card. Upgraded to different 700wt 80+ Bronze (forget it's name too) and problem solved.

I recommend that IF you are going to buy a new PSU, go with an 80+ Gold with more than enough wattage to handle whatever your setup needs at a peak sustained load
