So I was recieving kernal power erros recently, and I did some research and found out it was my psu. So i ordered one and it came in, for a while nothing was happening and now Im getting them again with the new psu. Im also running a ups so I have no idea whats causing these problems.

I read from the other post to check your specs, but what's your new PSU wattage?

 

From the previous post 600w PSU isn't enough. 

 

Check a PSU calculator online and you would be around 550w with just your 3700x, 2x16 sticks and the 2070.

Add everything else in and under 90-100 load it'll be around 800w.

PSU calculators are not correct a lot of the times 

A system like that won't consume more than 450w at worst 

550 is plenty

It should be enough I checked a calculator and it said like 400 watts

Unfortunately, "research" often results in people that make "guesses".  They see "power" and assume "power supply".  9 out of 10 times "kernel power error" is not power supply related.  All it really means is that the system has rebooted without first cleanly shutting-down.

Do you have any tips to try and troubleshoot or anything?
