First time here on the forums so please excuse any formatting issues or lack of information.
I purchased a new 1080 ASUS ROG Strix GPU back in November of 2017 and my computer has been running fine up until about a month ago. While playing Overwatch, my monitors would go black and the GPU fans would go to 100%. I could still hear and move around (I could hear the sound move as I moved my mouse) but the screens wouldn't come back on so I would restart the PC. I tried a new 6 pin connector from my PSU and it seemed to solve the issue... or so I thought.
Yesterday my PC completely restarted while playing Overwatch again. This time the screens just went black and the PC instantly restarted. Could this be PSU related? I have run a few 15min+ tests with FurMark and temps all look fine. The only reason I'm suspecting PSU is because everything ran fine when I first installed the new GPU and now that my PSU is ~4 years old, I'm thinking that it is running out of life. Below I'll list my parts. Thanks!!
