With a 2070? Wait, did he upgrade the gpu without checking if the power supply could handle it?

He didn’t check no that may be the issue. But wouldn’t the pc not work at all if the psu couldn’t handle it? It works just rly bad FPS

It depends, usually yes but in some cases it can lead to weird behavior if the power supply is being overdrawn and can't provide enough power reliably. That doesn't sound like your case but it certainly would be nice to figure out what's up with that power supply... isn't there a label on it or something?

 

Also again, check his gpu, cpu and memory usage, that should give us a much better idea of what's going on.

I will check usage and try to find psu when I get home. I’m trying to find it online but I can’t. The name is an msi night blade it came originally with an 1060 and an i7-7700k if you would like to have a shot of finding it for now

Im pretty sure this is the one he has https://www.msi.com/Desktop/Nightblade-MIB/Specification 

Mother board >MSI MICRO-STAR MS-B9071 LGA1151 

Power supply > 350W 80 Plus Bronze (1U)

is that the problem it has an 350W 80 Plus Bronze (1U) power supply with a 2070 and an i7-7700

In theory it's enough power but just barely. Still waiting on those usage statistics.

that is way to low power i sugest 750W or so

It is a massive issue, and if he’s pc starts working to full potential, that will definitely need replacing but that’s not the primary problem at hand as not enough power usually leads to straight power errors.

Nobody needs 750w, 450w would be easily enough but personally I would go 550w for some extra leeway. I always recommend rmx.

 

 

op tell your friend to run this

https://www.userbenchmark.com/?redirFrom=userbenchmark.com&

it will test individual components and compare them to other people’s. Send the link it generates at the end and it’ll show exactly what the issue is.

But let's face it, all the cool kids have 850W power supplies
