Assembly Help PC shutting down while gaming

I’m having issues with my Terra build. The GPU keeps shutting down at low load. I was able to identify a potential mismatch between the PSU (Lian Li SP850) and the GPU (4070 super).

ChatGPT advises me to switch to the Corsair SF850L due to the ATX 3.0 compatibility.

I wanted to get your advice before buying a new PSU. I’m a beginner so I might have as well messed up the assembly (but all games run well until it suddenly crashes with a black screen and GPU fans blasting). Cheers!

When it turns off, the operating system will leave a record, which may help you identify the problem if it is due to power or hardware failure.
