So my pc randomly turns off then turns back on like nothing just happened. It happens when I'm just scrolling through the internet or playing a game. When it happens my screen freezes for like 3 seconds then the computer shuts down and turns back on right after. I run windows 10 with an Asus 470x tuf gaming motherboard and a Ryzen 5 3600 cpu. I have a Radeon RX 5700 XT Red Devil gpu and have 16gb of memory. I have one Samung 860 evo SSD and one Western Blue one TB HDD. This all runs on a 600w 80plus power supply. I checked all the power requirements before hand and everything is fine so I'm not too sure what is causing my pc to shutdown randomly. This isn't the only problem, my screen randomly goes black while gaming for around 3-5 seconds which also lead me to think its some kind of power problem but I don't know.
Were it to be me, and depending on the results of voltage monitoring (as if they show incorrect readings with drop under load, then obviously you will replace PSU)
I would try a quality PSU even if it does not solve the problem, which I thi9nk it may well do, at least you know your system is better protected from the risk of using a cheaper one.
Also I'm using CPUID HWmonitor to monitor temps on my pc and my cpu is running around 40-50 degrees celsius and the motherboard is getting up to the same temps 40-5- degrees celsius. Are these temps ok for these parts? or are they overheating making my pc shutdown randomly? Also these temps are the pc at idle, not under heavy workload.
as mentioned......... Apevia = junk
always has been, even their cases are of low quality
you have nice components, expensive components why did you skimp on the power supply?
Awesome I will most likely buy a new power supply. I was thinking about it and was debating if I wanted to go through the hassle of ALL the wires but I will try it for sure. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

Because I'm stupid. I'm pretty new to computers so I thought that if the psu has the gold certification i thought its good until i actually learned what that meant. I just upgraded to a 850W Corsair PSU and the problem is now gone so yeah I agree, Apevia=junk.
The one you recommended kind sir. Works perfectly ,little bit of a pain unplugging everything then plugging it back in but it was worth it. I had it same day delivered from Amazon, I was ready for this upgrade.
The HX series is very high quality. You really should not have much problem with wires/cables; that is a modular pw supply. At least you will not have a LOT of extra cables.
Just for future reference, when you are going to do a build or upgrade, post your parts list here. We can give you an idea if the parts are quality, work well together, etc.
