I recently installed a new graphics card (gtx 1080) and whenever I boot up certain games, eg. Overwatch, CSGO, after 1-30 minutes my PC crashes and instantly restarts. I've played other games that have run perfectly for longer than 30 minutes (PUBG, Assassin's Creed Rogue, Witcher 3)
Here is my current specs;
I originally thought it was my CPU overheating as it was running at over 80C whilst playing the games so I cleaned out all the fans and reapplied thermal paste. My CPU now runs at 70C at heavy load so i dont think that is the problem.
I also thought it may be a problem with my RAM, so i ran memtest and came back with no errors.
I have tried reseating the graphics card.
I ran Display Driver Uninstaller after I had installed my new graphics card (could this be the problem?)
I think it may be a problem with my PSU, Im running a Corsair GS600 600w power supply, or could I have a faulty GPU?
