PC shutting down/sleep mode

[TheKurtzman123]

I recently got a second hand graphic card for a good price and which been use for around 2 years and decided to buy it to upgrade my PC previously was an GTX 1050 TI. After installing it, I found out there was a problem with it and haven't been able to solve it for these past few days. I'm currently am exhausted and have given up all hope already any feedback or help is appreciated.

 

What i have tried:

- I ran around 10 times of stress test today on the RTX 3060 TI and set it to 10 minutes but every time it reaches 7-8 min it crashes. A fact i known is that its not overheating, GPU Temperature is around 78 degree and GPU Hot Spot is around 89 degree GPU Power is taking 199.91.

- Stress tested the CPU and RAM both without crashes

- Both of the stress test is using OCCT 

 

Current PC Build

Motherboard: MSI A320M Gaming Pro

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (Waiting for my Ryzen 5 5600x)

GPU: MSI RTX 3060 TI Ventus 2x OC

RAM: ADATA DDR4 3200MHZ 8x2

Storage: WD Blue 1TB and Gigabyte M.2 256GB

PSU: Cooler Master GX 550w Bronze (10 years old)

im glad you mentioned its age cuz the extra power draw of the 3060 ti may be pushing it over the limit, try with a friends' power supply or go to a repair shop and ask to test the system with one of theirs

Could it really be the PSU? the shutting down/sleep mode (Black screen, keyboard light is on when i click and RAM rgb is on) only happen when i gaming or when i stress test purely on my GPU only.

i mean it would make sense, since your 2600x doesnt draw much power the power supply even in its degraded state can power it adequately, but the gpu draws way more power than that

its worth a try

Any suggestion on how much watts i should get for my PSU or a 550w PSU should suffice for the build im going?

I am currently using a 5600X with a 3060 Ti and the max power draw is around 400W when fully loaded CPU and GPU stress tests ongoing (including an HDD, three SSDs, some fans and RGB and two 24 inches monitors). Idling, the power draw is under 100W.

If you want to change your PSU, anything over 500W should be fine. There is also very little difference in price from a 500W to 750W PSU these days, so it should be an easy choice.

As for your 3060 Ti crashing, does it crash only when using a stress test ? If that's the case, just ignore the stress test and use it normally. If it also crashes while gaming or working, you may want to try lowering the Power Limit (with MSI afterburner or other software). While you will be having a bit less performance, it will still be a card way more powerful than your actual 1050 Ti.
