Hello, my setup began to freeze into a complete black screen and remained stuck on that state until I restarted. This issue started about two months ago, only occurring during gaming sessions and not while idle. It typically happens every 5 to 6 hours, but the cause is unclear. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

I attempted to resolve the problem by:
- Updating my AMD drivers
- Reinstalling GPU drivers after cleaning with DDU
- Updating my BIOS version
- Trying to undervolt the CPU using BIOS settings (set to 1.2v)

My hardware details are as follows:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500
Motherboard: MSI A520M PRO
GPU: ASUS GEFORCE TUF RTX 3060 TI 8GB 256bit GDDR6
RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz
PSU: Cooler Master MWE Bronze 650W V2
Bios version: 1.J0

that's what I thought and attempted to lower the voltage, but it didn't really make a difference. Maybe swapping out my PSU for a 750w one would be sufficient for this setup?

750watt and gold for your system and GPU you possess, not bronze once more

You might be right, but since this seems to occur only during gaming, could it be that a component is overheating? Perhaps checking the temperatures would help.

Absolutely, I'm uncertain. That's why it's important to conduct tests before deciding a component requires replacement.

He possesses a powerful graphics card, my friend, but the 650 bronze, despite being new, isn't functioning properly.

I believe he suggested it had functioned with that PSU until recently. How did you ensure it was clearly defective? I’ve worked in electronics for nearly seventy years, and I wouldn’t be certain a component is faulty until I replaced it and verified the issue was resolved. He might have assumed the PSU was bad without proof. If he’s mistaken, he’d have wasted resources. If someone could lend a hand, replacing it would make sense as a troubleshooting step to check if it’s the root cause. In a workshop with parts available, swapping components could quickly identify the problem. Most people don’t have that advantage.

If he can locate someone to try it out himself, he understands. I didn't instruct him to purchase a psu; I merely informed him that it's prepared for failure, since eventually it will burst and destroy the motherboard, memory, and card. No bronze psu provides the expected power.
