How is it not up to task if it meets what is 'recommended'?
🤔
AMD cards are known to draw a lot of power, it wont hurt to buy a new psu as they are fairly cheap and if anything I'll have a back when one blows
I've updated windows, I've undervolted the card, updated the bios, updated the drivers and still does it. Had it happened with my first build and what it was my micro atx wasnt giving enough power but I think it's just theres not enough power for all I'm running
Ok, well I'm assuming this power supply you have now is 80+ rated, not that it matters much because you could still have the same issue. So here is my suggestion to you when buying a new power supply. Don't just go by the PSU being 80+ rated or the brand name. Whatever wattage they recommend for a GPU is at best a guess and is in fact not a true 'recommendation' like you would see for a video game but the minimum. Always get more than what they recommend.
I'd much prefer you double whatever they recommend. In your case, that would be a 1,300 watt PSU, so I wouldn't settle for anything less than up to 1,000 watts, and call it a day. If you can, make sure its no less than gold rated. I have a platinum rated 1250 watt PSU. Its served me well so far, so I know that whatever issue I may have from here on in, I know the PSU is the last thing I have to worry about. You may have some people here calling my advice is "insanity". All I can tell you is to use your common sense. I went through the same thing you went through.
