Well, that *should* fix it, but for a better explanation, regardless of psu wattage, its very hard to measure transient power spikes, and what happens is, there's a very high demand for maybe a millisecond and even *if* the power supply could handle it, it will still do an emergency shut down, because it's build like this for safety reasons... ie *not all psus handle transient power spikes in the same way because before rtx 3000 series this wasn't really a big problem* That said your old psu was still too weak, 750w *minimum*, 850 is more on the safe side and better. good luck with the new one.
