Hello all gaming trouble

[PCNoob97]

I am extremely new to PC so let me apologize in advance if I sound stupid, respectfully I am with this stuff. So anyway I build my gaming pc using a YT video for this build. I get it set up, download Steam buy Helldivers 2 and Arma 3, downloaded FiveM as well. Now I can run FiveM and also Xbox GP games seemingly perfect no problems. I try to play Helldivers 2 and the screen keeps freezing on the “Arrowhead” loading screen, Arma freezes up when I hit “Play” in the main menu. I have searched far and wide trying to solve the problem.

Things I have tried already
-Verified game files through Steam they say they are fine
-Uninstall and reinstall both the games and Steam
-Used DDU to uninstall/reinstall graphics drivers
-I have run memtest everything said it was running fine

Specs are:
-Ryzen 5 7600 CPU
-Radeon RX7600 GPU
-32 GB Tforce RAM
-600w PS
-Antec NX500M mini tower

Any assistance would be great as I am ready to pull my hair out

Let’s get your complete PC specs.
Get Speccy; Speccy - Download Builds
In Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot (hit Yes if prompted to proceed with publish) > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
Now you can paste that link into your next post.

Speccy doesn’t show the Power Supply Unit so list the make/model of the PSU.
Don’t just say 600w PS.

Is Speccy safe?

Im sorry lol I knew I should have been specific, it is a Zalman GigaMax 600W 80+ Bronze PS

Here is updated Speccy I dont know if its different but I did a fresh reinstall of Windows which did not solve the issue

That Zalman power supply doesn’t look anywhere near good enough for your system.
PSU Tier List rev. 17.0g - Cultists Network
Rated either ‘speculative’ or avoid.

But more important is the wattage and certification.
600w and Bronze is bad news for your GPU.
Minimum recommendation is 550w based on a simple rig config, so you are pushing the limits.
But Bronze is not good for a gaming rig, should be at least 80+ Gold.

Any chance you can get your hands on a better PSU for testing purposes?

Does the issue only happen when gaming?
Normal browsing, emails, Word, Excel, watching videos, etc - all works OK?
