I've been facing some technical problems since setting up my new PC. At first, I encountered errors in MemTest86 and games would crash. After reconnecting all PSU cables, MemTest86 now works properly, but games still occasionally stop. I’m trying to determine if the PSU is broken or if its wattage isn’t enough. Could you assist me in understanding this?
My PC Specifications:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7700
Motherboard: MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI
Memory: Kingston Fury Beast Expo 32GB (2x16GB) @ 6000MT/s (currently running at DDR5-4800 CL40-39-39 @1.1V) - KF560C30BBEK2-32
GPU: RTX 4070 Super 1-Click OC 2X TecLab Lite Galax
Cooling: Front Fans – 2x Cooler Master Sickleflow 140 ARGB (MFX-B4DN-14NPA-R1); Rear Fan – 1x Cooler Master Sickleflow 120 ARGB (MFX-B2DN-18NPA-R1)
Storage: Primary (Windows) – Kingston NV2 1TB M.2 NVMe - SNV2S/1000G; Secondary – Samsung 850 EVO 250GB; Tertiary – Samsung 870 QVO 1TB
PSU: XPG Core Reactor II 750W
I consulted several PSU calculators, and they suggest my system uses about 500W. Do you think the PSU could be faulty, or is there a power delivery issue?
Still encountering errors during MemTest86 when I run at 6000MT/s.
Appreciate your support!

Download OCCT and execute the PSU test.

Thanks! I'll share the results soon. Running for an hour should be fine, right?
I'm a bit worried about OCCT catching any problems. I used it for memory monitoring during a game, but the crashes happened without any error detection.

It should take roughly 15 minutes, keep an eye on your CPU and GPU temperatures as well.

Hey, your recent run showed no errors, which suggests the PSU size is appropriate.
