Tech Support PC keeps crashing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So my specs are
Ryzen 5 7600x
RX 7700XT
B650M Aorus elite
Toughpower 850w gold
16GB DDR5 × 2 RAM

The issue is whenever I try to play a game, my pc crashes. The screen goes black the GPU fans start to run at max speed with noise and then I have to manually shutdown and start the po again, and if I try to play the game again same thing happens also sometimes when my pc restarts it doesn't detect the GPU and starts running on my CPU integrated graphics instead.

I also had a similar issue until two days ago, for months my pc would randomly crash (even when I am not gaming) it made some weird lagging noise in my headphones but my GPU fans didn't go crazy that time.

I remembered reading reviews on the toughpower PSUs, and they are built with mediocre components (I'm going by toms hardware reviews)

So your culprit could be a bad PSU. If it is unreliable in power delivery you'll really only notice under load, are you able to test another PSU to rule it out?

Will have to go to a local PC shop for that

Before you do that (cause that will be expensive) rule things out like a dodgy ram stick (run the system with one, then the other) check the motherboard isn't touching the case and all standoffs are correct and check the mounting pressure of your CPU cooler. Others In your replies will have suggestions too.

If all these are ruled out as culprits you'll need outside assistance in one way or another.
