My PC Specs:

Processor: i7 6700K Skylake

Liquid Cooler: H100i GTX Extreme Cooler

Motherboard: Maximus VIII Hero

Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti

RAM: Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB Kit

SSD: Corsair ForceLE 480GB

Power Supply: Corsair CS750M



Issue: PC crashes while gaming and I get a blank screen. Nothing works until I hard reboot my PC.



Its a 1.5 years old build. Everything was great so far but suddenly my PC started crashing when I play games. It takes 30-60 minutes to crash when I play CS:GO and 1-2 minutes when I play PUBG, GTA 5 or Fortnite. I have 2 PCs with exact same specs. So, I switched my graphic cards and now I have same issue on other PC. That means something is wrong with graphics card. I sent it for repair/replacement and they (Gigabyte) told me that they ran benchmarks and they can not see any issues. After getting the card back, I ran games and facing same crashing issue. Can someone tell what's wrong with PC/GPU? Would really appreciate your help!
 
Solution
Try underclocking the GPU by 100mhz and see if it works. IF it does then you can tell them its unstable at stock clock speed in these games.

Sent to twice and they sent it back. Even I did some stress tests and it didn't crash but it crashes as soon as I play graphic intense games. I don't think they will try to test it by playing games and I am now stuck with a graphic card which can only perform in stress tests. :(
