I've got a corsair cx 600 watts psu  it pritty new and I have wiped windows clean and even reinstalled everything. I don't know if it the gpu but it works at gaming and normal computer usage but it did use to mine perfectly but when  I click on the miner now it goes to a black screen and the pc is on most of the time (sometime it goes off). So could it be the gpu because ) I doubt it a psu problem because I tried mining with a rx 460 and it work perfectly it just happens to the rx 470.

Well, it still won't hurt to check it with a different PSU. Moreover, bronze rated PSUs are not so reliable for a 24-hour workload. The better being above Gold rating for PSUs if your purpose is mining.

Well, to be honest, I have few f those corsairs, not 600, but 650W bronze, and they are mining
four years continuously without any problems. All maintenance I do is blow dust away from time time, and that's all.
They're still doing their job.

it looks like a GPU problem to me and i know that corsair are one of the most reliable psu you can get but still going to try a different psu when i got time. seems to be working better if i lower the power limit of the gpu by 25% but when i put it back to normal the pc locks up with no signal and the gpu fans spins at 100% i have to do a hard reboot to get it working again. Huh
