First time posting on here, had to rewrite this because I wasn't logged in - great.
First of, here's my build
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/trustandbust/saved/x7NQZL
Bought the PSU and GPU in early 2017 and the rest in December/January, had this issue for the first time in February. I was playing Gothic 2 with the DX11 renderer at like 200FPS and it crashed after an hour. Didn't think about it much, it didn't happen again after. I had it a second time just last month - I was playing The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, an UE4 game and the game crashed when I didn't have Vsync@60hz enabled, although it was only running at like 72fps (monitor has a FACTORY refresh rate of 72hz),. other UE4 games usually worked fine (GPU is loud in all of them though
). It also happened in another single player game after unlocking FPS. Anyway, today I had it again, but I wasn't playing anything, just talking on Discord with some friends. Pressing the power button to shut my system down didn't even work, I had to use the switch on the back of the PSU.
I thought that this is a PSU issue, but I'm not sure, since it seems more likely that it's a GPU issue. My PSU isn't the best but it should be enough to power my system. Just ran Memtest86+ for 2 hours, 2 passes and Furmark and Prime95 don't crash my PC either. GPU gets up to 80 degrees in Furmark and my CPU only hits 74 degrees, so that should be cool enough. My fans are still running when it happens, I think my keyboard RGB turns off though(not sure about the rest), my PC doesnt turn off(let it run for 5 minutes) and it's LEDs are still on. Windows Event Log reports a critical error, stating that my PC was shut down unexpectedly, around the time it happened.
Any idea on what this could be? Any help will be appreciated.
EDIT: Not gonna lie, this just happened after installing the newest drivers after DDU'ing. So, it's the GPU then?
