What psu do you have? It seems if your psu is not giving enough power. Could I have all of your pc specs?

From what I can see is that your psu should be able to easily run your system. Would you be able to use another graphics card to see if that works?

Also make sure that your moniter is plugged into your graphics card and not the motherboard.

Ok while you are doing that you may wanna try to stress test the cpu that you are using. By doing that you can put stress on the psu to see if that is the problem. I would recomend using prime 95 to stress it.

Stress test your own cpu. If your computer turns off while stressing it (thats if it has enough power draw) This should indicate that your psu is not giving enough power since there is a likely chance that it is failing you. I Highly dought it being your GPU or motherboard
