Anyone else having this problem? I'm looking for any and all suggestions lol. Every time I try to launch MW2 my whole PC crashes and the VGA light on my motherboard turns on. I recently upgraded my GPU, CPU, Motherboard, and CPU cooler. My system runs other games without a hitch such as Rocket League, Counter Strike, and New World. Things I've tried: Updating GPU and OS drivers Uninstalling/Reinstalling GPU drivers Uninstalling/Reinstalling the game Verifying files on Steam (didn't work, returned the game and downloaded on Battlenet) Scanned and repaired game files on Battlenet Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Nvidia RTX 3060 ti 16GB RAM B550 Tomahawk 500W PSU

Yeah bro, that power supply is way too small for mw2 with a 3060. My 2060 wouldn't work with a 650 either, but switching to the 700 gold fixed it all.
