Problem

I was lucky enough to obtain a rx5700 xt for an early Christmas but upon trying anything with it I encountered freezups. I could do anything other than gaming and be fine. I have a seasonic 500 watt power supply, could this be the problem? And if it is what would be some good pcu replacements? Any advice is appreciated!!!

What was your last graphics card? What model power supply? What other PC specs?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

My motherboard only has one pcie slot and I can try to reinstall.

What model PSU

 

I would try DDU as mentioned above but might still not help. What specifically causes freezes, is it games or just YouTube and stuff? What kind of freeze is it, total system freeze or stuttery behavior?

Like when I open the Witcher 3 it runs for a couple of frames then freezes but I can still pull up task manager and close it. Games are the only thing that does this.

I looked on the box the GPU came in and it says I need a minimum of a 700 watt power supply but on neweggs power calculator it said I only need 370 if messing with the drivers doesn't work could this be the issue?
