Well, it is a little more complicated.
The watt rating on the PSU is the total draw for all its' lines at the same time. It does not mean much.
Every single line (voltage regulated line, like 5v or 12v or any other) has a separate rating too. It is usually expressed as Amps and can be translated into Watt by formula 1V*1A=1VA=1W (to make things simple, assuming the "power factor" is 1.0).
Edit: Now those voltages are being further converted and regulated by the motherboard to suit various components' needs. The regulation efficiency there is also lower than 1.0.
Within PSU of a higher total rating, the individual lines have a higher Amp rating too and this is what really matters. You cannot just add and subtract those...
I am trying to understand if you are having difficulty with the prompt. Please let me know if you need assistance.
It might be many different things, try to follow my footsteps to cancel other things out. For VRM skip to the IETU part.
I am starting to play another and it doesn't let me play, automatically restarts itself, the PC boots on but I can't play anything for some time. Only surf on the internet

Here’s a revised version of the text, aiming for clarity and conciseness:
“I am rephrasing this text for improved clarity. The primary focus is on upgrading computer power supplies (PSUs). A shift from a 650-watt to a 1200-watt PSU is being considered. Additionally, thorough system maintenance – including cleaning – is recommended, with suggested frequencies ranging from weekly to longer intervals.”
Found a review of the unit:

Spoiler
"Its Achilles' heel is that the S12G tends to run a little hot if heavily loaded for prolonged periods of time while inside a very warm environment; however, the only real-world scenario that we can imagine that would replicate such conditions is that of a powerful cryptocoin mining system built inside a poorly designed chassis. If you are planning to use the Seasonic S12G for powering such a system in a $20 case, that probably is a bad idea. However, if you are looking to buy a PSU for its high quality and performance and consider aesthetics and modularity to be secondary or unnecessary features, the Seasonic S12G is definitely worthy of strong consideration."
You're not crypto mining, but it doesn't change the fact that the unit was noted for running hot.
What is your case? How do you have it oriented in the case - fan up? Fan down?
WOW. What are you powering to warrant that big of a jump?
With that much power, I could run a PC with a 5.0ghz 9900K + 2080Ti SLI ROG Strix OC and still have some headroom...
