My computer started shitting down when running some games like overwatch and when loading some cs go maps.

Tried to run the Geeks3d Gpu test GUI; when running the TessMark X8 (OpenGL 4.0) on 1024x640, the pc is making some kind of noise. I think it's coming from the gpu fan. When upping the res to 1920x1080, the pc shuts down after 1 second.
After shutting down the motherboard green light stays on for a couple of seconds.

I called nvidea but I want to make sure that this is the problem before sending it.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks

EDIT:
specs:
gtx 960
fx 8350
tt 600w psu
m5a99x motherboard

Wait.... WHAT?! 600w psu is capable of even going with 1080 ti. You can use 1080 ti on even 500w psu to be ohnest.

Nvidia recommends 400w psu to this card : http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-960/specifications due to low power consumption. It seems like a psu problem for sure , but it's not because of not enough power to deliver to the gpu. In my opinion you should get a new psu or at least borrow one from your friend or borrow from the local shop (they should do it for no problem dude) and see if it works. If it does than it's just the psu that is damaged and because it doesn't wants to damage your...
