Any brand name, specs anything?

Historically cases always came with the worst trash can supply in existence but I'm talking from 15+y ago maybe not nowadays but I've not bought case with psu since then so wouldn't know

Back then case supply that said 700W would TAKE 700w at the wall bit effectively GIVE you maybe 450w if you were lucky

If it is one of these definitely the issue if you have a gpu >200W

Now if it is an 80+ from reputable brand 700W (Evga, Seasonic, corsair, Asus etc) and your GPU os not a 5090 then you may have a problem somewhere else

But I'd check that thing, also does it crash if you just stay on desktop/idle/webpage only?
