Screen going black after changing graphics card

[lazardj96]

So I bought the new AMD RX 5600 XT, plugged everything in, and suddenly, I start having these issues. My screen is going black at seemingly random times. The whole pc just freezes and I have to restart it. I connected the power supply correctly, installed drivers and everything works seemingly fine, except for those issues. My specs are:
Intel Core i7-3770 -CPU
MSI RX 5600 XT MECH OC -GPU
Intel GSUO H61V10C -Motherboard
LC600H-12 V2.31 -Power supply
I am at loss here, I don't know what to do. Reinstalled the drivers, checked the connections. Tried to rollback the driver versions after some reinstalls, it's still the same. Please help me

I dont like the look of that power supply. £37 for 600w? Get yourself a good seasonic or something like a EVGA B3 or BQ or something.

If you reinstalled your drivers correctly then my money would be on the power supply causing you problems.

Unless all you're using the pc for is spreadsheet and typing up word documents all day. Never cheap out on your power supply.

Gonna agree on less than reputable PSU. But this also been shown to solve issues if you have the option to do so.

Odds are the PSU is not good enough, even if its 600w. Stick with whatever the newest WHQL recommended drivers as well, AMD has done good work on them for 56/5700 series.

5600xt MECH only has 1 8pin power, so that picture doesn't matter.

I'd look at the PSU too. I've never heard of the brand and I cannot seem to get a clean image of the label to see what's what.

EDIT: I see the label now... for all intents and purposes, that is a 480W power supply as there is only, at max, 40A (40*12=480) on the 12V rail(s). If the PSU has another 6+2 pin, try that one instead. Othewise, I think that PSU is trash and you need to get another unit, but this time, make it high quality.

Get yourself a good seasonic or something like a EVGA B3 or BQ or something.

Well if those aren't polar opposites...

(but the B3/BQ is still better than what he has, lol)

..it's about time!

Yeah I was searching for connection first one I could find was 8+6 but arguably it was a “hot model” ASUS.

For that matter, the OEM for the LC600H-12 V2.31 is Great Wall. a fairly well known OEM for making cheap budget power supplies. Walmart also buys a lot of Great Wall power supplies to put in their system builds

Never cheap out on your power supply if youre going to be doing anything intensive like gaming.

FTFY. No need for qualifiers.

what is your previous graphic card, like the other said that it could be from your psu
just to check it further

previous one was Nvidia GTX 1050Ti

Did you go from an old AMD card to a new 5600x. If you did that it could be the cause and no matter how many times you reinstall it wont fix it. You must use the AMD cleanup Utility. I would still replace the PSU though.

a 75W card where many only use slot power... compared to a 200W+ card...

..must have crossed paths. That said, using DDU to uninstall all NV drivers can't hurt to try first.

Just saw that you had a 1050Ti I am sure Nvidia also has a cleanup utlility

I'll try that first, thanks. But a PSU upgrade is on the way too

I'll google it, thanks!

What did you get? I fear looking at what you had, you may not be aware of what actually is a quality power supply....

I very much am unsure of what is quality power supply, you're correct there. But! I am kinda piecing together trough google research
The main thing is that I bought my first setup for crazy cheap money, already used. The guy said it would be fine, and it worked with the Nvidia for 3 years, no issues. I am from Serbia, so my choice is somewhat limited when it comes to brands of power supply though ( couldn't find EVGA anywhere). I did find a SEASONIC 650W - SSR-650GB3, which has good reviews, so I'll probably get that one.
I also found ANTEC NeoECO Modular 650W NE650M. Also great reviews, so I am considering that one too

Definitely can never go wrong with the Seasonic

my thoughts too, everyone says it's good quality brand

Gold standard, many others use them for their own brands

Superflower, seasonic - first tier (top notch)

Corsair, be quiet, xfx, antec - second tier (really good)

Cooler master, chieftec, enermax, evga, cougar, deep cool, fsp, fractixal design - third tier. (Good and will do the job done without problems)


People, don't go @ me and omg, this list and blah, blah. Just expressing how I see the psu brands and their quality/reliability. And of course it depends on model not just by brand name.

Would just include maybe Fortron and CWT in the top especially for OEMs.

Fortron is fsp as far I know. Did mention in third list. Never heard of cwt. Dunno about them.

Yeah you did FSP, same. CWT is probably the biggest OEM supplier, they only make them for others not sell their own branding. Basically have to look under the hood to find it’s a CWT product.

Ou, good to know about cwt, thanks.
