It seems like no graphic cards work on my PC anymore?

Hi, guys.

I've had my PC for about a year and a half now and I started off with an MSI Nvidia GTX 960 and its treated me well up until earlier this month. It started when I was in the middle of a game (Overwatch) and it crashed all of a sudden. I went back into the game and I got an error message saying "Your rendering device has been lost." I went back in the game and it crashed my PC. After a week of trying many things, from reinstalling drivers, switching the slots for the graphic card, and even system resetting my PC, I decided that my graphics card was dead and ordered a new one. I ordered an MSI Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti and I got it yesterday. For a few hours, it seemed like everything was fine, but then it happened again. During the middle of a game, it crashed. I tried to open the game again and it would always crash. Most of the time, I would get a colored screen on my primary monitor and I am able to move my mouse to the secondary monitor but I can't select anything. When this happens, I have to hold down the power button to restart my PC. Other times, I get a blue screen with the text "Video Scheduler Internal Error." I have already done almost all of the same steps I took with my previous graphics card. I know that the problem isn't the graphics card because it is brand new so I'd appreciate some help in figuring out what the problem is.

Processor: Intel Core i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50Ghz

I just tried this. After I did it, I went into a game and it actually made it past a second in the main menu. Unfortunately though, it crashed no less than a minute later.

That's what I was thinking as well. I just wanted to be sure that the motherboard was the problem before I spent money on replacing it.

I checked and I have the latest version of my BIOS.
