PC completely freezes and i have to switch it off from the psu switch

[Witcherpunk]

 So i Upgraded my graphics card from a 750 ti to a 5700xt but my pc freezes every time i go into a demanding game before even loading the entire thing.

 My psu is a 580w that has been used for close to 10 years so i think that's the problem and i'm thinking of buying a new one.

 But I wanted to make sure before pulling the trigger.

did you use ddu to switch the drivers? you can try a fresh install of windows if thats an easy thing for you to do (if you dont mind wiping your pc)

 

But in general, yes I would change the psu

you jumped from 60 watt tdp to 225 watt tdp.

 No i didn't use the ddu(i didn't know its existence after i already installed the new drivers)

 But yes i think it is my psu cause now i think about it my pc did froze exctaly like this for let's say once every 3 months before but i didn't mind it then.

PSU loose performance with age even if it isn't the cause, which it likely is, good idea to replace a 10 year

old PSU.
