    My pc turns off the monitor says power saving mode and i can still hear the fans

    My pc turns off the monitor says power saving mode and i can still hear the fans. This happends when i play games like warzone or gta v. It happends even more when i stream.

    My specs: 1060 6gb, Ryzen 5 2600, 20gb ram, prime b350m-a motherboard, psu raidmax cobra rx-500af-b

    My temperatures are good i get like 76-79 on my gpu and 60 65 on my cpu

    I already asked this on another site and they said its a psu problem i just came here to see if u guys will say the same so i can buy a new psu

      Should have shipped with a health warning its that bad, even when out of the box new it could only produce 384W and that is debatable.

      New PSU from a proven brand is required, Gold efficiency rated would normally be advised but being that your GPU is old there is no point in spending too much on a PSU, if you go for a Bronze efficiency rated PSU from either EVGA or Seasonic a 500W unit will suffice, avoid the CV, CX and VS of Corsair as they are not appropriate.

          You need a new PSU regardless of what you do but if you upgrade the GPU it will depend on the exact GPU as to what PSU you will need to power it.
