PC stops just when playing EldenRing.
I think your 500w might not be sufficient for Elden Ring. Using some power calculators suggests a 600-700 watt supply would work better. It's possible Elden Ring is more demanding than other games you've played. Have you run a CPU and GPU stress test together, similar to what a game would do?
Overloading a PSU might lead the PC to shut down. This resembles a GPU driver crash, where the game stays active (audio plays) but the screen goes dark and the GPU fans speed up. It could stem from a faulty PSU, a defective GPU, or another issue. In such cases, isolating one component is advisable. For example, use a different power supply or test the GPU on another machine to see if the problem persists.
