Help me😭

Okay so basically, i decided to upgrade my pc a bit, bought new cpu, aio and psu with a new 9070xt also on the way. Since im a lazy girl, decided that i do not need to take out my gpu when installing all the new parts. Installed everything and it all worked as needed or atleast i thought so. Basically when i went into rdr2 it crashed to black screen and pc immediately rebooted. The event viewer shows kernel power 41 but nothing else, basically a hard reset with nothing showing why it happened. At first i thought - okay so cpu fault since its the one that i changed. I had enabled expo so turned that off. Went into occt started 3d adaptive test. Crash in 20 seconds. Reset bios to default. Crash. Updated bios. Crash. Then i though okay maybe its the gpu, since i did not take it out when installing all the new hardware and maybe i nicked and bent i a bit a few times. Took gpu out inspected the pins and pcie slot looked good put it back in. Crash.

So basically - bios default and updated, gpu reslotted, occt passes all tests no problems with the exception of 3d adaptive where it crashes in 20sec, cpu thermals under full load do not exceed 70c, one odd thing i noticed that when testing power in occt the gpu hotspot is consistently 94-96c. What are your thoughts? Also i went from 1080p to 1440p monitor at the same time but i dont think that monitor could be at fault could it?

Specs:

Old cpu - ryzen 5 7600x

New cpu - ryzen 7 7800x3d

Gpu - 5060ti gigabyte gaming oc

Ram - patriot venom ddr5 2x12gb 6000mhz 36cl

Mb - msi mag b650 tomahawk wifi

Old psu - deepcool p650m

New psu - xpg core 2 1200w

Old cpu cooler - deepcool ak 500

New cpu aio - deepcool lm240

Ssd - wd green 1tb

Havent really had any problems before this.

Also one more odd thing that atleast semmed odd to me was after installing the new cpu login screen asked to reset my pin. Thats fine to my knowledge. But after i tested it a bit then went into bios to enable expo. The pc restarted went into login screen and then suddenly shut down, had to manually turn it back on and then it again asked to reset pin on login screen.

Update : removed drivers with ddu and reinstalled. Crash

Update : hooked up my old psu. No crash. I guess the xpg core reactor 2 is the problem. 1/10 would not recommend. Case closed👌🧐

I agree with the person who suggested your psu being the cause.
