hi everyone, recently I got a new gaming computer and now it's acting up a lot. sometimes my keyboard and mouse disconnect and reconnect when I play certain video games, and other times they just stop working completely. It works fine on games like Destiny 2, Ready or Not, Left 4 Dead 2, and some others, but things started getting weird with the new Modern Warfare 2. Most recently, it happens with Total War Shogun 2, and sometimes even Cyberpunk 2077 fixes itself after a few disconnects. I don't know which other games have this problem because I haven't tried all of them yet since some are really big to install. I already took out my keyboard and mouse drivers, turned off the power saving mode in settings, and changed the USB ports on my computer but none of those fixes worked. I think maybe I broke some USB ports, but that doesn't explain why I can play some games with no problems while playing others with tons of issues. any help or advice would be super helpful and thank you so much.

put together all your computer parts details and tell me which power supply unit you have.

I checked the specs for an AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and an Nvidia RTX 3060, but I can't figure out what power supply they need yet.

The PSU has a sticker that tells you its model name.

My power supply only has 600 Watts and it's gold certified for efficiency.
