Hey everyone! I'm reaching out because I'm struggling with a GPU issue. I posted about the RX 9070 XT yesterday and I've run into a problem where my screen goes black and my PC either shuts down or restarts whenever I put the GPU under load. I took my PC to the seller who sold me the RX 9070 XT, and he tested it in his system, finding no problems at all. However, when I try it at home, I still face black screens and unexpected restarts. On the bright side, I tested an RX 7800 XT at home, and it works perfectly without any issues. By the way, I'm using a Cooler Master MWE V2 850W Gold PSU. I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Any insights would be really helpful!

So, your whole setup was tested at the seller's and it worked fine? Just checking, did he test just the GPU or your entire PC? Because if he tested the whole thing and everything was good, it could point to something specific in your setup at home.
It definitely sounds like a PSU issue, especially since the GPU worked fine in another system. But I'm also wondering if your PSU is failing selectively. Have you checked if all connections are secure?
It might be an issue with your power supply. Just make sure you aren't daisy chaining the power connectors for your GPU, since that can create problems. The 9070 XT pulls more power than the 7800 XT, and newer GPUs tend to trigger quick power spikes that could trip your PSU if it's overly sensitive or not powerful enough.
