    Certain games crash saying GPU has failed. Replaced and reinstalled drivers and still same problem. Anything helps I am left with nowhere else to turn

    For starters heres my list of hardware.
    Motherboard: MSI B450M
    CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 8 core
    GPU: NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2070 SUPER
    RAM: 16gb Viper 2 sticks at 8GB each
    POWER: Arevia 700W Beast Power ATX-BT700W

    I am having issues with certain games running. I have gotten a blue screen watchdog error only once before but that only happened while playing Arma 3. I get GPU failing errors on Beam.NG so then of course I replaced the GPU and upgraded from a GTX 1070 to an RTX 2070 Super. That still didn’t fix the problem even after deleting my drivers and reinstalling them after installing the newer card. I know that I have sufficient power as I would need around 450W to run this and I 700W. I have even reset the ram on the motherboard and still nothing changed. Really my next guess could be the CPU but I did a stress test on it at 128 threads at 100% power and couldn’t create a bluescreen. I ran benchmarks with MSI kombustor and couldn’t get the GPU to fail either. I am very confused as to what the problem could be. Any help or insight would be awesome thank you for your time.

    Sorry but there is nothing beastly about that PSU other than how awful it is, it is not even Bronze efficiency rated.

    Which power supply do you need?

      So you think it could be power?

        Should I replace the PSU for say a corsair 600W? Thanks for your time.

          Please do not bump your thread by posting more than one reply at a time, thanks.

          The PSU that you have is not appropriate for the hardware that you have and neither is a 600W Corsair, the GPU that you have is the determining factor and that is why the Which power supply do you need? link was provided.

          Your choice but until you have an appropriate PSU you are putting all of your hardware at risk, check the PSU links in my sig and you will see that apevia are on the avoid list
