I previously shared a post about a month back, but when someone mentioned the fix would involve changing the PSU, I did that. However, the problem persists. I believe the GPU might be the cause—when it hits around 85°C it simply turns off. You can still hear sounds, but the screen goes dark and the fans stop working. Do you have any ideas on a solution? Is it possibly unrelated to the GPU, or should I try a different approach without purchasing additional parts and hoping for improvement? My current setup includes PCPartPicker's part list: CPU—AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz, 8-core; Motherboard—Asus PRIME A320M-K Micro ATX AM4; RAM—Kingston HyperX Fury 16 GB (2x8GB); SSD—Toshiba OCZ TR200 240GB; GPU—Asus Expedition Radeon RX 570 4GB; Case—SHARKOON TG5 ATX Mid Tower; Power Supply—Corsair TX750M 750W; Windows 11 Home; Fan—upHere T7SYC7 120mm; Monitor—Philips 278E9QJAB 27.0", 1920x1080; Keyboard—ROCCAT Horde AIMO RGB; Mouse—ROCCAT Kone AIMO; Headphones—Logitech G432.

Use a fan to direct airflow over the motherboard's VRM. This CPU is running on a budget motherboard, so the VRM might be getting too hot. If you think the problem lies with the graphics card, consider turning off Multiplane Overlay (MPO).

You can adjust the settings in the app or system to disable it. It helps control access or functionality, depending on what you're trying to achieve. ^^

Are there any motherboards you'd suggest for upgrading smart access memory later?

B550 models lack Zen+ compatibility, so you’d likely be limited to B450 or X570 boards. MSI typically offers solid B450 options such as Tomahawk Max v2. For X570, go with any X570S board to skip the tiny chipset fans. I prefer Asus.

Additionally, run tests on the CPU and GPU separately to identify the problem area. If the system fails during CPU stress, the VRMs might be the issue. When only the GPU is stressed, consider improving its cooling; ideally it should reduce power instead of crashing.

No idea about prices on all this stuff right now, but would you think it'd be better to just upgrade the CPU at the same time and get something faster and more modern rather than spending the money on a motherboard just to potentially want to upgrade the CPU a bit later? Just seems to me it would make more sense to actually upgrade rather than a partial upgrade that's just going to continue to lock them in, but maybe the price difference is significant.
