Alright so I am having an issue running games, I have recently gotten a new graphics card, the Radeon RX 470. I thought it would be nice and helpful in running my games at better graphic settings. I try out Death Road to Canada but it ends up running slower than before. I try out Gang Beasts and the computer black screens and I assume it restarts because it boots back up shortly after signed out of steam and a couple other things. I buy a 8 gigabyte stick of ram thinking the new card needed some additional ram to back it up, and while it helped run Death Road To Canada back at its regular 60 fps games like Gang Beasts and Skyrim still cause the black screen and boot back up. Any idea what the problem may be? I could run Skyrim before I got the new card with a lot of lag but it still used to at least load. How it usually goes down is that I open the game, click continue, it open the loading screen, then right when I think it's about to get done loading it does the thing. Any ideas? I tried removing the old drivers but that didn't seem to work.

Specs are below, at least what I could find.

Processor- AMD A4-6300
16 gigabytes of ram (I believe so anyway.)
Graphics Card- Radeon RX 470 Graphics

That's all I could figure out, I have a limited knowledge on hardware and what not, I am unsure of how to check the power supply though I have a theory that it may or may not be the contributing factor, my computer is not very old by the way, got it on Christmas of last year.

You really need to find out the make/model of your PSU as it sounds like a power issue to me. Take the side off your case and have a look at the PSU, hopefully it will be emblazoned on the casing what it actually is.

Alright a thing within the computer seems to be talking about power. it says that Voltage is 115/230V, Current is 10/5A and frequency is 50-60Hz. Is this enough to run the things I have or is it in need of an upgrade?
