Here are several steps you can take to diagnose and hopefully resolve your issue:
- Verify Power Delivery: The symptoms you describe—crashes every five minutes requiring a PC restart—often point to instability in power delivery. A 550W PSU might be borderline, especially if it’s not from a high-quality brand. Even if your parts are within power specs on paper, voltage fluctuations or glitches under load can cause the GPU to become unresponsive. Inspect all PSU connections to the RX580 (check for firmly plugged PCIe power cables) and consider testing with another, more robust unit if possible. Low-quality or aging power supplies, even if rated nominally at 550W, might not provide stable current under sudden load spikes.
- Update and Reinstall Drivers: GPU driver conflicts or corruption can cause periodic crashes. Use a tool like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) in safe mode to completely remove your current AMD drivers. Then download and install the latest stable drivers from AMD’s official website. In some cases, registry tweaks (such as adjustments to the MPO or DWM settings) have been mentioned online, but start with a clean driver installation first2.
- Monitor Temperatures and Cooling: Overheating can force the GPU or system to restart. Use a tool like MSI Afterburner or HWMonitor to keep an eye on your GPU temperatures. If you see abnormal temperature spikes or values approaching critical thresholds, ensure that your GPU and overall case ventilation are clean and that fans are operating properly. Reapplying thermal paste or cleaning dust from heatsinks might help maintain stable operating temperatures.
- Inspect for Physical Issues: Since similar issues have sometimes been linked to physical defects (for example, the case of a loose capacitor on the GPU causing instability as noted by other users), give the RX580 a careful physical inspection. Look for any signs of loose components or damage. Although this step requires caution, an insecure solder joint or a disconnected capacitor can cause intermittent failures. If you suspect a hardware flaw and the card is still under warranty, it might be best to consult the manufacturer or seller.
- Check for Overclocking or BIOS Settings: If you’ve applied any overclocking to your GPU or even certain memory settings, reset them to factory defaults. Similarly, check your motherboard BIOS for any power-saving features or settings that might interfere with GPU performance. Some users have found that disabling Windows Fast Startup or adjusting Windows power plan settings can sometimes improve stability.
- Test Other Components: Although your description points toward the GPU and/or PSU as likely culprits, it’s prudent to run system diagnostics (like a memory test with MemTest86) to rule out other hardware instability. Ensure your motherboard’s BIOS is up to date as compatibility improvements can sometimes resolve these periodic reset issues.
By working through these steps, you can narrow down whether the problem is a result of an underperforming PSU, driver/software issues, or a hardware glitch on the GPU itself. If the issue continues after these checks, testing the RX580 in a different system (or trying another GPU in your system) could help isolate the faulty component.
There’s more to consider if these steps don’t solve the problem—like updating the GPU VBIOS if an update is available, checking for any software conflicts that might be affecting your GPU’s stability, or even pivoting to a known reliable PSU brand.

nope, marerestart lang yung graphics card, and mangyayare at mang yayare uli yan...
feeling ko PSU na yan, since 500 watts need ng graphics card mo and matitira nalang is 50 watts for other component (di ko sure if ganto ang pagcompute sa wattage consumption)...
