I don't know what this is but I'm assuming its GPU related

    Fwiw, knowing Dell like I do I can say with almost certainty that they are most unlikely to have used a CPU that costs any more than the bare minimum that they need to pay, this is borne out by their use of the garbage AC460EBS-00 PSU.
    Is there anything you would recommend I do from here? I’ve had this pc for almost 3 years now with no major issues like this until now just easy to fix minor issues.

        Personally, I would be replacing the PSU.
        It may not be the cause of your issue, but it is a ticking time bomb regardless.
        I would also be trying another GPU, so dust off that old one you have, or burrow a friends, neighbours, work colleague, family member.

            I did some research and would like to know if this would be a good psu to buy especially if I maybe decide to upgrade parts in the future.

                Double check what you are getting, the description in the link say rm850e but the link takes you to the rm750e, complete with picture of a 750watt model.

                If any PSU has 80+ Gold and 10year warranty, you’ll be getting as good one.

                    Agreed on the PSU however the OP has other issues going on but being that they never acknowledged what was mentioned regarding them having the Windows Power Plan set to high performance and the PC not being set up correctly I did not chime back in, helpers should not have to interrogate members to get the required feedback

                    Related thread XPS 8950, 460W PSU insufficient

                    Fwiw, the OP should not head off and purchase a more powerful PSU than what is required and reason being is that the present RTX 3060Ti GPU is a Dell branded card that has been dumbed down so as not to require as much power as a stock 3060Ti from Nvidea or third party brand such as EVGA or MSI to name just two, this done to save money and reduce heat both of which results in a performance hit and a bit more work with setting up.

                            Sorry for another late reply I didn’t get a notification until Bruce’s most recent reply. I set the power plan to high performance to get more performance out of my pc (I just follow what all the YouTube videos say to get me more fps in games). Also, I’m not sure what you mean when you say “the PC not being set up correctly” if you could give me more information on that it’d be nice.

                                I think @phillpower2 is referring to the order things were installed.
                                I’ll let him explain further.
