Hello!

When your PC restarts does it anytime shut itself down?
Does this only happen when playing games?
What OS are you on?
Did this happen just when you installed your new GPU?

And btw i can often play 3hours then it happens but it's diffrent and i thought it was the power supply but the power meter said that it only took 330wats so i guess that's not it?

There may be some changes with your GPU speed when playing games and you dont want that.
Download the MSI-GAMING APP which automatically changes the settings for you for specific reasons:

Check if your RAM is installed correctly.
Make sure there is a gap between them, and they CANNOT be next to each other.

usually this happens because you dont have enough wattage under load so as failsafe it shuts down the computer

hogvall.victor :

Fill in this as much as possible and tell me what is the recommended wattage.
With that rig 500W is minimal.

You have 16 GB of RAM and you have four pieces of memory?
Are all the RAM pieces the same brand and the same speed?
Could you send a link to every RAM you have installed.

I would recommend EVGA 750 watt gold PSU, I've had it for a year and play games hours upon end. Good luck!
I hoped it works, if not PM me.
If you have more money to spend, dont hesitate on purchasing a more efficient PSU!
