PC crashing and restarting after installing new GPU??
I recently upgraded to an AMD 6700 XT from my old non-ti 3060. I've paired it with my Ryzen 5 5600x as people have said that the two work together well. However, I've noticed a frustratingly bizarre issue where my entire PC crashes and restarts to a recover screen randomly. Especially when booting games or closing games. What is causing this and how do I fix it?? I've updated BIOS, my drivers, and even done a fresh Windows install.

Is this same issue as other post or have you change GPU card in top of this.

Same issue. Except it isn't just when exiting games. It'll crash randomly when idle too

What temps are you getting from the new card?

Have you removed and reseated it to make sure it's properly installed? In fact have you checked everything is properly seated and didn't get loosened when you installed the new card?

Is your power supply providing enough power for all your components and is it a good brand?

Any obvious faults on the motherboard, i.e. did you apply too much pressure installing it?

Are the contacts clean?

Worst case scenario it's a faulty card. But you want to rule out all other potential causes before going down the RMA route.

Make sure you've fully DDU'd the old Nvidia driver. In fact DDU both the Nvidia and AMD one and reinstall.

Have you connected the GPU correctly? Maybe it is too loose.
