Hey guys, I just built my first PC. Every time I try to play a game (Overwatch/Subnautica) the computer just shuts down. I have checked the GPU and CPU temp and both seem fine even on high settings (CPU: 40, GPU: 82 max), and my frame rate on Overwatch stays around 60-75. When the computer shuts down I usually hear a buzzing sound from my speakers (like the game glitched), my monitor displays no input, but the fans are still running on my PC for a few seconds (about 30) until it just gives out. As a side note, everything else (normal PC interaction like reddit and browsing, including videos) works fine.
I have unplugged and replugged the Graphics Card, set a limit on the FPS just in case it was getting too high (but this caused screen tearing), monitored the temperature of both GPU and CPU to see if anything is wrong, run a stress test on CPU (Turned out fine), and memory test on ram (everything was fine)
One last thing: My GPU min requirement is 500W and my PSU is 550W. I got the 550W because PcPartPicker said my Max requirement was about 300W, but now i'm wondering if the 500 GPU min is JUST for the GPU. So would I have needed more for the whole system?
Thanks for the help, it's super frustrating putting everything together then having it mess up right afterwards.
