    Every Game Crashes

    I got a HP Pavilion 570-p056 for free from a customer. The power supply was bad,
    so I replaced it with a new Thermaltake Smart 500W. I changed the video card to
    a GTX 660TI that I was using in another computer with no issues. Windows 10 fresh
    install. Core I-7 7700.

    Every single game locks up or crashes. This was set up for my kids, so they are not
    high end games. Both the CPU and GPU show temps staying below 60c. All fans
    are working, and the case is clean. Drivers are up to date. 12gb ram never goes above
    80%, and the CPU rarely goes over 50%.

    I should note that the computer does not lock up, just the games. I put the GPU back
    in the previous computer to test, and it ran everything without a problem.

    Edit: 500gb SSD about 50% full.

        Shouldn’t be used anywhere near an add on GPU, so bad that depending on which version you have it is either advised to avoid or replace immediately labelled as 500W when it can only produce 420W + not even Bronze efficiency rated.

        The present GPU requires a minimum of a 450W Bronze efficiency rated PSU from a proven brand, least expensive that I could find EVGA BR Power Supply

        Suggest that until you have an appropriate PSU you remove the add on video card from the PCI-E slot on the MB and use the Intel HD from the MB instead.
