So I randomly was playing Players Unknown Battle Ground for the first time and once I decided to not play the game anymore and exit out of it my main monitor with the GPU connected goes black while my other monitor connected to the motherboard is still active. Then I hear the GPU fan randomly start speeding up. I start panicking a little and reboot my pc automatically. It booted up back fine, but its the first time I just experience this after just recently purchasing a new GTX1060 MSI X 6G.

My PC specs are:
CPU: i7-4770k
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H55
MotherBoard: Asus z87-k
GPU: MSI GTX 1060X 6G
Ram: Hyper X Fury 2x8(16GB0
HDD: 2xWD Black 1tb
Case: X-titan black mid tower.
Watts: 900

The black screen was the first time I just experience ever in my life after replacing my old GPU for this new one. The only I had was a gtx660. I was not sure if it was because the game is still un optimized because I played other games like LoL, OW, CSGO in the last two weeks and it was fine. Advice?

So I found out that player unknown really put my GPU to work and after I close the game, it would crash my whole GPU completely since it would attempt to cool down. After attempting of doing this three times and crashing my GPU three times, I noticed I put my GPU in RISK. While I was reading some forum post, I noticed a lot of people were mostly having this problem due to power coming in and out of the system like PSU issue. Before the 3rd GPU I turned on GPU voltage on for no reason and I thought to myself, can it be the lack of power going into the system? I do not use a PSU sadly due to budge wise, but instead I was using a power strip. Let me tell you, this power strip was one of those home fashion power strips that went with us everywhere when we needed it to energy home entertainment items. Lucky for me, I had a new anti power surge power strip given to me and decided to put that puppy on and replace the old one. I noticed a HUGE difference. My PC loaded faster than usual, my mouse was actually working when I turned on (I was having mouse problem where it took a mouse awhile to actually start working with the sensitivity wise) But most important decided to hop on Player unknown and test it again to see it crash my GPU. After Opening and closing and playing at least two full rounds on it. The GPU finally stop crashing. I believe that the old power strip did not have enough joules to give to the PC resulting lack of power and some items not functioning. But will keep you posted if anything comes up!

The problem still exist and I do not know why it happens???? Help??

Edit: I test stressed it and it works fine, litterally used 98% usage of my video card and works fine. Ran the stress test for literally 30min and nothing happens. Then PUBG happened and puff crashed. I just recently just used WhoCrashed and I got no reports about my PC crashing only old ones that happen a long time ago. I also used DDU to uninstall old Drivers that was installed into the pc also including my old GPU and Reinstalled the new Driver for this new GPU. Also, it cant be the airflow because my pc contains many fans for the airflow to go in and out of the system. Literally have like 4 fans, a liquid cooler and my GPU containing two more fans to cool down. Currently will check if it works or I will have the same issue again. Not sure what other issues it can be?

Idk if you still have this issue, but do you use Reshade or any other texture filtering programs? I had this problem for months on a single and even rma'ed my gpu and it didn't fix it. I thought it was weird because it passed any/all tests I threw it at with no issues until I remembered that I had Reshade installed from a few years ago and it was not at all compatible with my game version.
If you have any external programs altering the game's graphics, try disabling them and see if it helps.
