When running some games my computer just shuts down after a few seconds and i have to turn my power supply on and off again for it to start. I have a B450M mobo with a ryzen 2600, an rtx 2060 and a corsair 650W psu. This only happens in some games but not only heavy games for example it happens in both jedi fallen order and heave ho, but not in metro exodus. Turning up the power limit in MSI afterburner helps in some games but not all. I think it might be something wrong with the psu but it could be the gpu since it only started happening after i got the 2060. I'm not sure what to do to check what's wrong. Do i have to buy any new parts?

The Main Culprits for Shutting down Unexpectedly is many different things such as,

1. The Load on your Power Supply is too high and  protects your system from any prolonged use which can damage components over time.

2. Your breakers in the room your are located in cannot supply enough power from the outlet your using and trips the breaker (this is a low chance but i would see when your house was built and see it is up to code as a last resort)

3. The Cabling can be a overlooked topic, your Power Supply able can not be rated high enough to supply all that power.

4. You House could be haunted and the Ghost doesn't like your new rtx 2060 (joke)
