Hello all gaming trouble

Status
Not open for further replies.
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
 
That Zalman power supply doesn't look anywhere near good enough for your system.

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?
