Good afternoon,

My computer randomly starting crashing while gaming about a week ago. I play Pubg and Overwatch. I took it to geek squad and they couldnt figure it out either. They said when they stress tested everything it all looked normal. Only thing that look a little off was the temp of my gpu (68-70) but they said that isnt to bad to cause a pc to restart. I played with it a little more and was unable to fix the problem because we couldnt find the problem. So i bought a New gpu [ Msi gforce gtx 1080 ] I played for a few hours and it started to shut down and or restart again. This only happens while gaming which is why I believe it has something to do with my graphics cards but i cannot figure it out. Maybe it is overheating but why would 2 different gpus be overheating? This entire build is roughly 4 months old

storage- 960 evo
Mother board - Strix Z270E gaming
Ram - 32gs ddr4 3200 vengeance lpx
corsair h1001 v2 liquid cooler
asus geforce gtx1060 6g - upgraded to msi geforce gtx 1080
cpu - i7 7700k
wiondows 10 64bit
Corsair RMx Series, RM850x, 850W, Fully Modular Power Supply,

Please help!

P.S. im not 100% sure if i am overclocked or not . my friend said i possibly am which is what might be causing my pc to crash but we cannot find any software that would be used to overclock it. It is possible I uninstalled the software because i did not know what is was.

plug your computer into a different wall socket


monitor temps with a program like msi afterburner


do you also crash while benchmarking?

I don't know what benchmarking is.

I monitored all my temps with 2 different programs while gaming and nothing was overheating. Cpu was running about 52 and gpu no higher than 66

But while troubleshooting yesterday my pc turned off and will not turn back on. My ram and Mobo light up but no fans turn on or my graphics card .
