Recently I replaced my PC from an SFF Dell Optiplex 9020 to a Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 full-size model. The CPU is weaker (i3-4710 versus i7-4770), and I intend to swap them but currently don’t have thermal paste, thinking there might be a problem since the GPU has never caused issues before. I’m not seeing any logs pointing to crashes, but I suspect it happens during spikes in CPU usage or when it’s suddenly used more. It could be related to the power supply, though I’m not sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

New PC: CPU - i3-4710 GPU - RX 6400 RAM - 8GB (2x4GB) PSU - Unknown brand but likely 188W OLD PC
New PC: CPU - i7-4770 GPU - RX 6400 RAM - 16GB (4x4GB) PSU - Dell 220W
Note: Changed PC for upgrade path because the Optiplex is compact.
