Random system crashing.

So a while back when I first build my first pc, I had a ryzen 1200, an rx580, and an evga b450t psu. Fast forward about a year later and all of the sudden I start getting random crashes in game, none of which were repeatable so it wasn't software. I had eventually determined it was my psu and just upgraded that. But my question is, on a system with barely 300w power draw, that was fine for the first year, suddenly not be able to output enough power the the components.

Sometimes EVGA's power supplies are known to lose efficiency over time. For some reason. However, I'm still not too sure.

I was going to need to upgrade my psu at some point if I ever wanted to upgrade, it was poor future planning on my part. I eventually got a Corsair Rm850x which maybe a bit overkill but at least it's way more reliable. Plus I just put a preorder on a MSI RTX 2080 super, so that b450t was not gonna cut it, still strange how in the just like 4 months I had it it dropped off like 200w from its rated wattage.
