I've discovered that my power supply unit (PSU) is causing my system to shut down whenever I run GPU-intensive applications, such as games and benchmarks like Heaven. I need some advice on how to address this issue effectively. If nothing else works, I might just end up getting a cheap motherboard combo and selling it as an office PC. Any suggestions?

I faced the same issue and I simply changed my PSU. It solved my problems immediately!
Definitely consider upgrading to a higher wattage PSU. It seems like your current one can't keep up with your system's demands, especially during heavy use. Don't skimp on this!
The straightforward solution is to buy a new PSU. Just remember, when you swap it out, don't reuse the old cables. New PSU, new cables—it’s safer!
Maybe share your specs? It could help us give better advice on what PSU you might need!
It sounds like getting a new PSU is your best bet. If you're not looking to spend any cash, you might try adjusting the power limits on your GPU, but honestly, that's just a temporary fix. A proper PSU can handle the load better!
