Graphics card crashing

Hi, i have an issue with my pc. When I run a game the gpu seems to overload, i get artifacts on the screen, then it freezes. The pc usually restarts and then the gpu will not work and all my drivers appear to have been deleted. I have fully rebuilt the pc with fresh, clean windows install and all drivers but the issue persists. My specs are
-i5 4690
- msi gtx 1060 6gb single fan
-gigabyte z-87-hd3
-4x 4gb corsair 2400mhz
-aerocool 500w psu
Also I'm using a 2k ultrawide monitor, and some of my problems started when i got this screen, but i found that turning up my gpu fan speeds to the max fixed the issue for a few months but recently the issues came back. I have cleaned the whole pc out and the gpu fan. Thanks for reading, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

i had a slimier issue, i recently got a x470 board with a second gen ryzen CPU, and i made a forum post of my own. we went over everything from PSU to GPU, the final conclusion was the motherboard was fried, but after replacing that everything was only calm for a day, so i know its not a hardware issue... my drivers where never deleted but it might be a slimier issue

from what i can tell its related to nvidia's boost because my games seem to be calm with there normal clock speed but as soon as that extra 200 MHz kicks in the game crashes.

im about to do some testing with some of there older drivers to see if anything happens

pegasaurisrex - thanks for your reply, im currently doing a stress/error test using occt. I had loads of errors (hurndreds of thousands) without a user set fan profile for my gpu. Now with the gpu fan on 100% im getting no errors. Im gonna leave it for 20 mins/half an hour and see. I might also reduce my clocks and see if that stabilizes it further.
