Just got a 6600xt and installed it, and now my pc restarts during stress tests

[Kevind4xD]

I'm running Windows 10 Pro, with a 3400g, 6600xt Red Devil, a B450m pro-m2 max, and what I think is the problem my seasonic s12III 500. It usually restarts when playing demanding games and stress test. It also never gives me a blue screen and just hard restarts

Try using DDU and then install some older drivers. I had this issue too on my GPU a while ago which ended up being a driver issue.

 

If that doesn't help it's probably the PSU. 500w is enough because AMD GPU's are pretty efficient, but it's not a great quality unit.

It is indeed a low quality PSU. 500W should be enough for a 150W GPU, but being a low quality unit puts it on the ragged edge.

So if was to buy a new one would a 550W or a 600W be good enough

Anything above 500w is good (that's recommended by AMD), but the quality is important too. I would try getting B or if possible A tier. C tier is fine if you are limited on budget but I don't recommend it.

Would turning down the power usage in MSI After Burner do anything

It will lower the clock because it's limited by the power. Your issue might go away, but probably not without sacrificing performance.

I'm CPU bottlenecked anyways

Then it might be worth doing, but if your PSU is giving you issues now it will only get worse over time.

I would recommend to get a high quality psu asap, these are basically emergency shutdowns,  which can only go well for so long,  check the psu tier list or reviews  for psu choices.

 

Setting a power limit might work to , but i would only see this as a temporary solution .
