Hello, I noticed your CPU's power draw has jumped to eight times its TDP, causing your 450W PSU and PC to shut down repeatedly. No overclocking software is running, and you've applied the newest BIOS updates. Your idle temps sit near 35°C, with max temperatures around 64°C. Your setup includes an i5-9400f, 450W PSU, RAM, a 2666 DDR4 GPU, and an RTX 2060. Are you seeing any signs of degradation or potential fixes?
Use another monitor such as HWinfo64. The CPU isn't drawing 500W. For the PC shutting down, an RTX 2060 might be struggling with a fairly old 450W power supply—consider upgrading to a better PSU. You could also try software like MSI Afterburner to lower the TDP% to 85%, helping avoid overloading the PSU.
@Ibrahim3009 The Open Hardware Monitor hasn't been refreshed in over four years. Power usage readings aren't pulled straight from Intel CPUs. Your 500+ Watt figure highlights possible issues if the power calculation isn't accurate. Consider using HWiNFO instead. It's regularly updated. https://www.hwinfo.com/
