I recently just swapped from a 1660 to an RX 7600
I bought a New PSU as well because of the power requirements I went from 500w to 550w
Occasionally I get an error message that says that my GPU driver temporarily stopped and usually this happens when I have all 3 of my monitors with something active on them either discord, spotify games or chrome.

Is it possible that I am not getting enough power from the PSU to run everything?

Specs
------------------------------------------------
Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max
GPU: AMD Rx 7600 Mech
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x
CPU Cooler: Wraith Prism RGB
Storage: Samsung Evo 250GB SSD, Samsung Evo 500GB SSD, WD 1TB HDD, WD Blue 2TB HDD
PSU: EVGA 550 BP 80+ Bronze
RAM: Corsair Vengence LPX 4x8GB

1660 pulls between 120 watts and 150 watts depending on who supplied it and it is just for testing only

If it runs stable on the 500 Watt unit you know it is a Bad PSU
Do you still have the 1660


I use this site when I need a PSU
And if it not in Tier A I wont buy
Plus any well known Manfacture that you know if there PSU is decetnt will do a 7 to 10 year warranty
I have this beast in mine now
And it is Overkill for what I am running
But as the Price from 750 to 1000 was not all that much more I decided Go big or go Home

Oh, that's a good list! I've used it and learned that my DeepCool PSU was in the "throw away" section. Now I have one of the models from the "Tier A" list. :) So happy with it! :)

yeah, I got a whole 7 hours of uninterrupted usage before the card started crashing again. 650w 80+ gold psu and the drivers still crashed.
I accounted for every reasonably realistic variable and yet it still crashed, I made sure the Bios were up to date, made sure my motherboard was up to date, got a brand new power supply from a trusted manufacturer, DDU'ed the drivers, and reinstalled them through AMD's website and yet it still happens.
I'm really not sure what is going on now it just seems like it's just a faulty card.

I might just refund the card stick my 1660 back in and just like wait for Christmas or Cyber Monday to get a 3070 or something along the lines of that, I've heard rumors that AMD has some hiccups here and there but I really didn't expect a faulty GPU that is brand new

Any items in the Windows Event Viewer at the time of the GPU crash is it just dropping to the desktop or something else
May be getting tripped by another device I think GPU reset is 1401 error that will be 4101

I can't figure it out now as I swapped back to the 1660 and the 7600 is being sent back. But I can say that when the drivers crashed

AMD's software displayed a message very similar to that.
