Hi there, I've recently run in to quite a few issues with my pc and could do with some help. I currently have a gtx 760 and an amd FX-8320 8 core processor running on windows 8. Recently my pc has kept restarting itself randomly, often when I am playing games. I had a look at the power settings and fixed it for a few days but now it is back. However this is not the real issue. I was playing a game earlier today when, once again my PC decided to 'Enter power save mode' and forced me to restart it. When I reloaded my pc, my desktop background had been stretched as have all of my icons. I tried changing my monitor resolution but the pc setting says it does not support the option to change it therefore, I am stuck with it being 1024x728. I also tried loading up the same game I was on before and I had an error message pop up saying that there was something wrong with my GPU. I decided to see if it needed updating so I tried loading the geforce experience app. It would not load however, so I decided to try re installing the geforce experience. It worked and when I loaded it up, it told me it could not find a driver for this pc. Now I'm starting to worry my GPU has died but to be honest, I really have no idea and could do with someone with a little more knowledge than me to help me out. Should I be panicking? or is this something else and how can I diagnose the issue?

any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance

Also can you list what is your PSU and MB? Because the PC has kept reboot itself randomly, that means the problem may from overheat, or PSU.
