My PC Keeps Freezing and Blacking Out While Gaming – Need PSU Advice
Asked by

I'm experiencing frequent freezes and black screens when I'm gaming on my PC, which has a Ryzen 7 3800X and an RTX 2060. I suspect my old 900W 80 Plus Bronze power supply might be failing. What would be a good replacement for it?

Don’t forget to check the thermal conditions as well. Sometimes a simple thermal paste or thermal pad change can solve the issue. Just make sure there’s no dust clogging your system and affecting airflow!

It might not be your PSU; it could actually be your SSD failing. If the PSU were the issue, your PC would likely just shut off completely instead of freezing and blacking out.

Before rushing to replace the PSU, try swapping out your GPU cables first. Even if they seem fine, a bad cable can cause issues.
