i got a ryzen 7 7700x with a rx 7900 xtx gpu and ever since I upgraded both my gpu and power supply it keeps randomly crashing when I play higher end games like assassins creed . It has happened with rise of the tomp raider need for speed unbound and even extreme shaders on minecraft with higher render distance.

I literally recorded HW monitor and task manager with my phone till it crashed and the temps were fine does anyone here have a idea what can the problem be?
The psu is a Hydro K pro 850W and from pc part picker the estimated wattage was like 550

After it crashes the blue light on the case does NOT turn off .
And the power button does NOT work as well.
The only way to turn the pc back on is if I turn the psu ON and OFF wait like 5 seconds and then use the power button.

This is most likely the issue.
The gpu alone needs 800W

Pleas post speccy when you can.
The current PSU I have is 850W

I sended speccy earlier but here it is again anyway

A Tier C - Low End PSU, with that GPU you should be running a 950W according to my resources.

I would get a competent PSU before going any further- 10 Year warrantied, 80+ Gold, PSU from a reputable brand (Seasonic, EVGA, Corsair). Just remember though- even good brands make bad products, check the list provided or ask us if you're not sure.

Does the 80+ thingy matter. i dont really care about its efficiency
 
Yes it does, 80+ Gold is all you really need since the margins of efficiency are very similar for Gold, Platinum, and Titanium- but for gaming only units of Gold efficiency and up are recommended, especially if you are using the lowest spec PSU for your components.

If you have money to burn go cheap on a PSU because your hardware for sure will go up in smoke.

Anything above an entry level GPU must have a minimum of a Gold or above efficiency rated PSU from a proven brand.
