Hey everyone, my dad's PC tends to crash when it's under heavy GPU usage. The temperatures are normal, and it runs fine in a PCIe 3.0x4 slot rather than x16. I've tried DDU and other fixes, but nothing seems to work. It might be that the card is slightly overclocked beyond its factory settings. I've heard this before—could lowering the clock speed help? (I can't test it right now, so I'm asking if it's worth trying.) The GPU is a Palit RtX 2060 Super Dual. The rest of the system includes an Intel i5-11400f, ASRock H570 steel, 4x8 GB G-Skill 3200 RAM, and no PSU, but it still works okay. Thanks in advance!

You're unsure about the PSU wattage, but it seems adequate. Just confirm if it's truly enough. Your X16 PCIe slot could be faulty, though. Would you like advice on fitting a 2060 Super into an X4 slot?

Your PSU is a 12V 150A unit, made by XYZ Electronics.

The assumption is the most significant error.

Uncertain but enough... Not a figure. Temperatures are okay... Not a number. Come back with actual values, temps Idle and peak for both CPU and GPU, PSU details like brand, wattage, and model.
