I have a 5700XT, and there were driver problems on Windows where the screen would turn black while playing games and require a reboot. It could be fixed by disable FreeSync in the AMD software, but you shouldn't have to disable features for a card to work. They eventually fixed the issue with driver updates, but I think it took a few months. I also never had any issues with it on Linux.
- sali0 6y agoI also have problems with 5700XT. I can't play some games without putting them at very low quality, although the specs of my machine are well within the recommended range. My computer randomly restarts if I am not at low settings. I have suspected overheating, but I have done what I can to fix it bar getting liquid cooling and I still have the issue. Very odd stuff. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.
- andypea 6y agoThis sounds a lot like a problem with your power supply. When your graphics card starts working harder, it uses more power than your PSU can supply, which makes the voltage drop and causes the PC to reboot. I'd get a new PSU from a reputable manufacturer that is rated for more than the maximum combined wattage of your components. There are heaps of PSUs on the market that are advertised at a much higher rating than they can reliably supply.

And "more" hear really should mean significantly more to have some buffer for peak power draw (which often is more than the rated power) because you are likely not forgetting some components (mainboard, connected USB devices, ...).
