The 850 W PSU appears sufficient. Have you attempted removing the CPU OC profile temporarily? This could free up about 70 watts for the GPU. It may not reveal much detail, but it seems like a quick and straightforward approach to test.

Thanks for the support! It turns out my power supply wasn't delivering enough power, so I reverted the CPU overclock. The first time I tried playing a game after installing the 6900 XT, it crashed immediately. I undid the CPU overclock but didn’t fix it, so I kept it that way. After some troubleshooting, I avoided going back to change it and just tested stability. Now everything runs smoothly without issues Big Grin Plus, I switched to a single-rail PSU instead of the multi-rail one, adding extra safety, and I also lowered my GPU’s voltage (without changing the overclock). Great job!
