Yeah you are right about that, but how about the second? I was not stubborn, I only disagreed but was waiting for the explanation. Not sure how you concluded that I did not want to listen when I already replied that I understood what you were conveying later. And no my friend's PC was not affected, because as I have said its an old one.
Anyway, I finally had some time to sit down and check about these shutdown issues. It seems that even at 850W, people reported shutdowns. That's a concern. So what is the safest? 1000W? 1200W? I am still yet to know why the GPU can "die" when others said they only needed to turn off and on the PSU for a reset.

If it is so simple, I think this problem wont blew up last time. I remembered reading and watching the whole video by GN regarding the source of the problem. You just have to watch the video and try to understand that not all PSU are equally good despite being rated the same wattage. There's even a tier list for PSU back then but was not sure if it is still being updated.
Cut the story short... I think the problem lies within the 12v rails IIRC (been years since I watched the video). You see 500w does not mean a damn thing at all. Cheapo PSU usually dont offer single rail aka 500w x 1 rail. It is usually a combination of multiple 12v rails which adds up to 500w. This is where it normally caused problem. A higher tier PSU would have more headroom even if it was using multiple 12v rail. Therefore this alone is the reason why higher end GPU requires a high tier PSU to cope with the sudden power spike (say 300-400w). Hence that is why even a badly designed 850w PSU cant necessary support the required power output the GPU needs since the total power the GPU can draw from both 8pin and pcie is lower than what it needed.
As for why it would caused the GPU to fail... I can only guess that it may cause harm when you ran the GPU successfully in the first run. The GPU probably needed more power but PSU could not cope. Instead of a stable power delivery, the power delivery could be in the form of spike which could cause problem with electronic components.
