I'm experiencing some strange issues with my PC, which has a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, an RX 9060 XT (16GB), and an ASUS B650E Gaming WiFi motherboard. I'm using a Corsair RM650e 650W power supply, but I've noticed that when loading games like Minecraft, the screen glitches during the 'joining world' phase. Additionally, my computer has randomly shut down once. I'm not sure whether this is a power supply issue or if there's a setting that needs adjusting.

Random shutdowns can sometimes be related to thermal issues. Make sure to check the temperatures on both your CPU and GPU. Also, don’t forget to look through the Windows event logs for any hints.
It could really be anything at this point. Do you have any spare parts to swap out? For example, see if you can run your games using the integrated GPU instead. It could help determine if the issue is related to your dedicated GPU.
You might want to limit the CPU and GPU power draw to see if it helps. Try setting them to 75% or even 50%. For the CPU, you can go into Windows Power Management settings, and for the GPU, use MSI Afterburner to adjust the power slider. If lowering the power draw solves the problem, then it could indicate your PSU isn’t handling the load properly.
It sounds like it might be a power issue, but your components likely only need around 300W at max load. So, if that’s the case, you could have a defective power supply. By the way, how many RAM sticks are you using, and what slots do they occupy? What speed are they running at?
If the power supply is working properly, lack of power shouldn't be the issue. That PSU is solid with more than enough capacity. There could be a lot of factors at play here, so you’ll need to methodically troubleshoot each component to pinpoint the problem.
