I say "shut down" with quotation marks because I can't really explain it, so I made a video to show you (yes, it has terrible quality) https://youtu.be/03IxI82aLGI?t=70 (and yes, I'm well aware that that's a terrible position for the computer)
It was pre-built, as I had no one to tell me this was a horrible idea, but what I know of my specs is:
GPU: Asus Strix GTX 970
CPU: I7 4770 @ 3.4GHz
Mother Board: Gigabyte's H87M-HD3
RAM: 2x 8GB - One is Kingston's HyperX and the other I have no idea
PSU: 600W - Don't know the brand but it's nothing famous, I cheaped here so probably low quality
HD: 2x 1TB - Again, don't know the brand nor the RPM
It happens when playing:
The Witcher 3
Trine 2 on maximum
GTA V on High
The Witcher 2 (although it takes a long time for it to happen)
War Thunder while using a flight stick
Battlefield 4 while using a flight stick - This was the first time it happened
Started happening after I upgraded from my 660ti to the 970, also bought a new keyboard and flight stick at the same time, although I believe this information is useless.
I tried:
Reinstalling drivers (this one - https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics_Cards/STRIXGTX970DC2OC4GD5/HelpDesk_Download/ The BIOS and the VGA 344.48 and this one - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24964/Intel-Iris-Iris-Pro-and-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-64-bit)
Checking temperatures (I think nothing abnormal, but I'm the opposite of an expert) - https://mega.co.nz/#F!YRYgQD5Y!EOoh9pO0zjx-AQQo3KKseg (I used RealTemp and Asus' GPUTweak to monitore them)
A friend of mine that was trying to help me found weird that windows would only allow me to get to 1920x1080 and recomended 1280x720 (as you can see here - http://i.imgur.com/MsQ5oBl.jpg) and according to him my GPU should allow for it to go to 2K.
I wrote all the information I could, please ask me for more if you think it would be relevant. Thanks in advance for everyone who tried to help me, and sorry for any grammar mistakes.
