Yes, I thought it because the Task manager crashed for all of them. But Candy Crush functions, and any Steam game does not. So the only thing that comes to mind is the Steam client is performing a sanity check before launching the game and failing. Also, a brand new Chieftec is also a very low-end PSU.
Since Candy Crush doesn't depend on GPU usage, it's a mobile game that works smoothly on smartphones. Any game needing significant GPU power, especially when the GPU isn't properly supported, will consistently fail.
Five years is the typical benchmark for many power supplies, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re highly dependable.
Since Seasonic is recognized for using superior materials, this product might be slightly more reliable than similar options in the same price or warranty range.
However, anything under seven years is still on the lower side, as the manufacturer hasn’t invested much confidence in that timeframe.
For gaming or other demanding applications, a ten-year warranty is ideal.
It’s definitely worth the extra cost if you value more consistent performance.
I understand everyone's agreement but many still rely on these inferior PSUs. A 5-year warranty unit is significantly better than a 2 or 3-year model. The G12 performs well—it won’t start a fire or explode, and it stays with the system. That should be our standard.
For almost every system important to its user, a 10-year warranty PSU is the ideal target. However, I don’t think that applies here. The main reasons are the limited budget for upgrades and components, and the OP decided not to upgrade the PSU. Additionally, it’s worth noting that in Europe, PSUs are nearly twice as costly as in the US.
The SeaSonic GX-750 is a solid choice, priced around $70-80, which is about 150 euros in Europe. Good PSUs are often overlooked and treated as luxuries, similar to high-end CPUs like the 4080s and 4090s. Instead of being essential system parts, they’re seen as optional upgrades. They’re cheap and seem fine, which is why people buy them despite their poor quality.
As discussed in your previous conversation, the issue stems from the fact that your GPU requires a consistent flow of energy to function. The PSU isn't delivering sufficient power. It must be swapped out right away with a more robust one. Your computer will only operate correctly once you purchase a fresh PSU. A new GPU won't function properly if it's connected to an outdated, low-quality PSU.
