Hey all recently i notice something weird , everytime i play a game or use furmark , in game nothing happen , i keep playing for hours and hour , just when i quit a game or any , after 10 second , black screen suddenly and then pc freezes , how i notice ? Cuz the num lock stay still the light led nothing just , so i habe to force restart , but what it could be?

Specs : rtx 2060
Psu : aerocool 650w ( 5 years old )
Windows 11
Ram 16gb t force teamgroup
 
Fixed : turns out its the psu the aerocool because i tried the cougar stc-500 which is i dont think suitable for my pc or i dont know , and after installing it no crashes and nothing , but can i use my cougar stc500 for one week only? So the new psu arrive?


Also i found this psu , is it good enough for my setup? Thanks in advance

 
Can’t really say anything useful without knowing what the rest of your system looks like but the 2060 is rated for a max power draw of 160W.

Unless your have a VERY power hungry cpu and a lot of other stuff hooked up to your system you should be fine with a 650W PSU and running a 500W psu is likely not an issue either if it’s a good unit.

Don’t know about MSI psu’s in general, but the Corsair RMx series and most Seasonic psus have a good reputation. As a rule look at the warranty: the more years you get the better psu generally is.

No problem. Doesn’t seem like that system should put a big load on a psu.

I’m not familiar with the cougar brand but a quick google search tells me they’re supposed to be pretty much okay so you should be fine using it u till your new psu arrives.

Cougar PSUs are usually good enough for a while. Your system isn't that power hungry though that PSU is only a 450w unit on 12v which is 50 watts under even more if PSU is older as psu lose capacity over time. Your whole pc should be around 250w to 300w though.


aerocool power supplys are a mix bag. But generally quality is low.
