Can't locate any information regarding your power supply. You mentioned concerns about its ability to handle extended high loads. Could you provide details such as a model number or a photo of the side panel?

The 750 watts should be sufficient for your system, but I'm still a bit puzzled.

The issue lies in the fact that "Cooler Power" is likely a small brand. These brands often don't test their power supplies for continuous load, only peak loads.

Thank you, I've attempted to increase my GPU's overclock settings, but unfortunately when I play a game for a short period or two, the screen goes black and I have to shut down the computer. I've adjusted the core clock and memory clock below the recommended levels, yet the issue persists—my performance drops significantly while I can play longer without crashes. It seems like the GPU isn't getting enough power it requires.
