It seems your GPU might be sending excessive current spikes to the PSU, causing a safety shutdown. You could try slightly lowering your GPU's clock speed (undervolting), which AMD offers as an easy one-click feature. Alternatively, reduce game settings like disabling ray tracing or lowering graphics quality. If these steps resolve the issue, you can be confident the problem lies with power delivery to the GPU while the rest of the system functions normally.
Sure, the remaining parts of the setup function work well. It's using JavaScript to run games like CS2, and I expect it to return a PSU. For recommendations under $60, let me know!
I wasn't sure about EVGA PSUs at first, but I usually pick higher-end options like the Cooler Master V750. Since I haven’t upgraded much, it’s helped me out before. If budget is a concern, consider lowering the GPU clock speed—this won’t noticeably affect performance in games like CS2.
EVGA produces a variety of power supplies, with some excellent options and others that fall short. It's important to identify the specific model you're using. If it's one of their inexpensive 80+ white units without the 80+ certification, that might be the problem. Alternatively, it could be a bronze model, which aren't significantly better. Only the 80+ gold or higher units show decent performance, while the rest are low-end or unreliable.
