Troubleshoot needed

[Eiimer]

Hello, i just built a new pc and something weird happened, after like 2 hours of using it, it suddenly turned off and started powering on and off until i pressed the psu button for it to stop, after i turned it on again, there was an error saying like windows was unable to boot correctly and it led me straight to the bios menu, i didnt change anything on here and booted my pc normally. It hasnt happened again so far. 

 

Specs:

Mobo asus tuf b450 plus

Ryzen 5 3600

Xpg 2x8 gb 3200mhz

Psu 500watts bronze

1660 super

Xpg m.2 and HDD

A couple of argb fans and rgb keyboard and mouse

assuming you mean this one: https://www.amazon.com.mx/MUNFROST-Fuente-Poder-Bronze-Power/dp/B08DVCYN4Y/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=MUNFROST&qid=1596762302&sr=8-7

 

i can't find any reviews online about it, but your issue sounds psu related. maybe got a bad one.

kinda difficult if you don't have a second one. i would first set the ram to stock speed, try 1 stick at a time, ect. to rule out the ram. if the issue still persists, good chance it is the psu. if you have access to another psu to test with, then try that to confirm psu. if not, i would probably rma the psu, or see if you can return it to go for a different brand/model.

I see, thanks for the reply, Im thinking of buying a new one to test this, is the coesair 650M bronze any good?

not 100% sure, corsairs are usually pretty good(except vs), but psu quality isn't my strongest suit. here is a good ranking list though:

I just saw the tier, would you think 550watts are enough for my specs or should i go higher?

550w will be enough.
