Hey guys,

So I am going to try and explain this to the best of my abilities but the problem I am having is a complete system shutdown after playing certain games for 10-45 minutes. When the crash occurs I get no BSOD, no error report no driver crash. I have found that I am able to play many graphically intense games with no issue including: Fallout 4, Rainbow Six: Siege, WoW, Civ 5 and Divinity: Original Sin.
I have had this crash occur in games such as Endless Legend, The Sims 4, Heroes of the Storm and the crash only ever happens midway into the game.

System Specs:
GPU - MSI GTX 980 4gb
PSU - Corsair HX850
Mobo - Asus Z87 Sabertooth Tuff Edition
Ram - *Brand New* 16gb Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz (2x 8gb)
CPU - Intel i7 4770k @ 4.3Ghz (Water Cooled with Corsair H110i)
HDD/SSD - Intel 240gb SSD Primary, Sandisk 2409gb SSD Secondary, Seagate 1TB HDD
OS - Win 7 64 bit

What I've tried:

Reinstalling all games
Reinstalling latest nvidia driver
Replaced RAM
Swapped from EVGA to MSI Gtx 980
Full system format
Running games on lower graphics settings
Games all worked on my old GTX680

Please if there is anything you all could suggest or have a solution I would be willing to try anything at this point.
