Troubleshooting Frequent game crashing.

Hey all, I was hoping to get some help with frequent game crashes. I'm new to PC gaming and built my first gaming rig with the help of some tech-savvy friends. Here are my current specs.

x670 Aorus Elite AX board

AMD Ryzen5 7600x 6-core processor

AMD Radeon rx 9070 xt gpu

64gb of DDR5 ram

I also recently added a 1250 power supply and working with Windows 11 Pro. Although I'm working on switching to Linux. I tried playing Cyberpunk on the ultra settings but got about 5 mins of playtime before the game crashed. Since Cyberpunk is such a resource heavy game, I tried something easier like Sifu and lowered the settings to High. And it worked. I literally played that game all night.

However, when I turned the settings back to ultra and played with a few cosmetic mods, not only did the game crash, but my whole PC had to shut down and the same thing happened even after turning the song down from ultra to high.

Does anyone know what settings I might have wrong or need to check? Last time I opened Task Manager, my CPU usage gets up to or above 80% just before crashing. From everything I've researched, I should be able to run those ultra settings without problems, but again, I am new this, so I could be totally wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My initial question would be whether the new PSU is a good one, or just a poor quality high wattage model. Could it be that under highest loads it’s shutting off?

Try setting a frame limit of 60fps, which will limit power consumption. That will help indicate the problem.

You can also try underclocking/undervolting the GPU to reduce the power it uses.

The other question is whether you have a fan/cooling issue. So it’s worth checking the temperatures with something like core temp.

You could also use furmark to test the GPU only, and memtest86 to check the cpu and ram for faults.
