PC experiences total failure when starting the game
I recently improved my computer's CPU, GPU, and motherboard. But now I'm facing a problem starting Warframe. I've played many games without issues, such as Elden Ring, Multiversus, SoT, FH5, Factorio, and Rust since the upgrade. So far, only Warframe has caused problems. When the game loads to the login screen, my whole PC shuts down completely. The fans stop, all lights turn off, and the screens go black. It doesn't restart until I flip the power switch on my PSU and wait. Also, I have to keep holding the case power button to turn it back on, but just pressing it doesn't work.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
When you upgraded your platform, did you reinstall your OS? Furthermore, even if your PSU was brand new, you're severely underpowered for your platform/GPU. You're in need of at least a 1.2KW PSU. No, I'm not kidding here.
I didn't reinstall the OS, yet it went through multiple updates after replacing the components. I also conducted extensive research before buying to confirm whether a new PSU was necessary. Additionally, if there was a power issue, it should appear on other demanding games such as Elden Ring and FH5.
