im going to try posting this in a different area just to see if anyone else has any ideas, this is becomig a real pain

My Specs are as follows...

fx9590 - Back to stock values untill i can figure out what is going on.
G.SKILL RipjawsX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1866MHz
GA-990FXA-UD3 rev 4.0
980 gtx FTW
750 watt cooler master 80 plus gold
U28D590D - Samsung UHD 28” Monitor
H80igt for cooling
2 ssds and a normal hdd for storage.
WIndows 7 64 Bit

Ill be minding my own business playing a game and ill get a black screen.. the sound will mabe jitter for a moment with what was going on after three seconds for less then a second then nothing. i restart the pc and what i have linked as a youtube video happens.. if i cut the power completely by the power off on button on the pc not the psu the computer will turn off and turn back on and boot as normal with one beep and start up.. this only happens while playing certain games but is happening way too much for it to be a certain games fault. if anyone has some suggestions or if somone has come across a similar problem feel free to leave a comment

This happens alot with certain games and doesnt happen at all with others.. but my old pc never had this problem and it is a pain in the ass.

Well since you've already posted it I guess you have already tested your PSU, cause that would be my first shot. I had the same issue earlier this year and as a result I bought a good PSU of a known brand which helped a lot.

This problem occured after installing the GTX970, which is pretty similar to your GTX980 if it comes down to power consumption. So have you already tried another PSU? I know that your current PSU is top notch, but maybe it is just broken.

hmm.. i havnt tested the psu, hear out my logic. i am drawn away from the psu being the problem only because

1. the computer does not crash using bf4 - dota 2 (resource heavy games)
2. does crash with the likes of Mount and Blade or Age of Empires 3
