    Mr.Dandy got a reaction from Spakes in RADEON RX5700 xt shuting down my pc, HELP!!!   
    I just want to update everyone about what happened.
     
    I did further testing with my EVGA N1 psu and I discovered 2 things. first is that is not even a 80 plus certificated psu, and second I used HWMonitor to see the 12v voltage and It was below 11.700v which explains why it was shutting down.
     
    I bought the Corsair RM650x and It's working perfectly now. this to be a lesson to never be cheap out with PSU and always buy 80 plus certificated( with high end graphics cards).

    80+ itself doesn't mean too much. It only indicates efficiency. A PSU can use crappy components while still achieves 80+ Gold. The only way is to read reviews that actually stress tests the PSUs and inspect the quality of the components inside.
     
    Glad you have the problem fixed. Enjoy gaming.

    Oh, that's what I afraid. EVGA N1. Return it while you can. Get a Corsair RM 550. 550w is plenty for your system.
     
    Always, when it comes to power supply, you need quality over wattage.
