Pc losing power

AA04

I just finished my new PC (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GbqkNN)

It boots fine and starts up all my programs but as soon as I try to launch something else it instantly shuts down (all fans and lights turn off)

 

I thought this was an issue of not having enough power so I upgraded from 450w to 750 and nothing changed. I know all my parts work fine except for the graphics card as I just got it used, but it seems like a graphics issue shouldn't shut down the whole PC. Any suggestions?

After more investigation, I can browse the web fine and stream video, it's just as soon as I open a game or a benchmark that it turns off

thats a green corsair PSU, return it, its a potato with wires 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

My 950 worked fine with the same parts except a weaker power supply, no blue screen just straight power loss

Is this the problem, or is that just an offshoot suggestion?

yes

green corsair PSUs are potatoes with wires, grey ones are much MUCH better.
