I'm having a frustrating issue with my PC where the screen turns black as soon as I try to play any game. It's been particularly annoying since I also experience random USB connection problems when starting these games. I've already checked things out by testing my setup on both 165Hz and 60Hz monitors, tried different cables, moved USB devices to the rear ports, updated my BIOS, and even did a fresh install of Windows. I just installed a 7600XT GPU, and my case is a microATX, which seems to be getting pretty hot with the glass panel. For reference, my specs are a Ryzen 7 5700X3D, MSI B450M Mortar Max, a 650W PSU, and 32GB of RAM, all running Windows 10. Let me know if you need to see some videos of the problem!

It sounds like your 650W power supply might be underpowered for your setup. The 7600XT typically requires at least 600W, and considering all your other components, you might be pushing it too close to the limit. You might want to consider upgrading to a power supply with a bit more wattage to see if that resolves your issues.
Definitely check your PSU. I've read that the 7600XT needs at least a 600W supply, especially with the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and 32GB of RAM you're using. If the power supply isn’t up to par, it could cause those blackouts during gameplay. Also, make sure that all your connections are secure.
