Ok I'll try and make this quick, about a month ago I left battlefield 1 on my computer running for about 4 or 5 hours. My computer randomly shut off which had never happened before. I called EVGA and got a new 970 and tried it, still didn't work. Bought a new mobo, new processor, new ram, new PSU and IT STILL DOESNT WORK. If i try and run a game like BF1 or Fallout 4 my computer will shut off after about five minutes. Sorry for this borderline illiterate post but i'm just so angry and I don't understand why it's still not working! Please help, thanks!

I have an SSD for windows and main programs, and an HDD for others. I have games installed on both and they both crash... The monitors will just turn off or they will shine some strange colors like pink or white..

I've seen that happen with Steam games. Usually pink and black for me.
Well, I don't know what the problem might be since you changed everything.
Did you do a clean install of Windows when you changed the motherboard? Because Windows' licence latches onto the motherboard.
 


Are you sure something isn't just overheating? A GTX 970 can emit a fair amount of heat while under load, so if the ventilation in the case isn't particularly good, heat could build up fairly quickly. What kind of case is this all in?

Here's the problem with that, It worked for about a year before that with no problems whatsoever. Now all of a sudden these tasking games cannot play. i can't even play overwatch without it bugging out. So steam isn't the problem.

Do you guys honestly believe that it might be the SSD or the HDD. I have windows installed on the SSD but when I took out the sata cable for the HDD windows wouldn't boot..
