I think it only happened 3-4 times, the last time was right before my post. I was watching youtube but the usage wasn't on chrome, I didn't manage to see where the usage was because the screen went black right after. The other times it froze, I waited and it came back but this time I had to reset the computer

Started a few days ago my pc will randomly start to slow down and then it will freeze with black screen in both my monitors. Most of the time that I'm using my pc, I'll be playing games, but every time that this happened I was either watching netflix or watching youtube/streams, never happened while gaming. My PC is relatively new, but I'm using a PSU from my old PC (bought in 2016), and a HDD that I had problems with. The problem with the HDD was that sometimes it wouldn't show up as a connected device and when I tried to format it would take a long time and fail occasionally. I use the HDD only to store games and it never crashed while playing, that's why I have it connected to my pc still. Because it happens randomly the only thing that I noticed is that the CPU usage goes to 80-100% before the pc freezes and goes to black screen. I'm guessing that my PSU is dying but I'm not sure, is there a way to test it?

Thank you!

I recently bougth a ASUS B450M Gaming/BR with a ryzen 3600, it came with the ryzen 3000 series already. I just saw on asus website that they have a newer bios version and was wondering if I can update it normally or if I need a 1/2000 series chip to update it.
