Why Is My PC Randomly Shutting Down After Installing a GPU?

Asked By TechSavvyGal123 On

I recently upgraded my setup by replacing my power supply unit (PSU) and adding a graphics card, as I didn't have one before. However, ever since the installation, my computer keeps shutting down unexpectedly. I've double-checked all the power connectors for the CPU, GPU, and motherboard, and they're all securely in place. I'm wondering what could be causing this issue?

Have you confirmed whether the shutdown is affecting the entire PC or just certain components? Sometimes, it can be just the monitor that's acting up.

It may be caused by overheating or an insufficient power supply. Since you installed a new GPU, make sure that your PSU can handle the additional load. Also, check if your GPU is seated properly and if the fans are working.
