So I recently upgraded an old desktop I had laying around with multiple new parts and now it is powerfailing under heavy load. It just shuts off with a black screen and a click sound (probably from the PSU).

It seems to only happen via heavy GPU load because it turns off when I play Vermintide 2, Synthetik 2, or run an OCCT power test. But Google Gemini seems to think it is an issue with the CPU being too powerful for the motherboard and overheating the VRMs, but when I look on the manufacturer site for the MB, it says my CPU is compatible.

Already tried replacing the PSU and the cable going from the PSU to the GPU, its neither. If any other info is needed to help me with this let me know.

Specs:

Motherboard: B450M/ac (manufacturer site https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450Mac/index.asp)

CPU: Processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor, 3701 Mhz, 12 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s)

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (16GB VRAM)

PSU: CORSAIR RM750x ATX 3.1 PCIe 5.1
