My computer is a Core 2 Quad Q6600 (G0 stepping) and a Nvidia 1050 ti (msi) randomly while games play the computer will suddenly turn off the display. I have testing Ram, Nothing is overheating (GPU max of 45C and Cpu max of 59C) and the cable stays in, I have tested different monitors and the hardware should be good. The only thing I can think of is the drivers or the copy of windows is broken, I have disable the display turns off selection in windows and sleep states in my BIOS. and it turns off even when I'm not overclocking the cpu.
I have NVidia 376.33 version of the game ready drivers.

The Motherboard is a ASUS p5n-e sli, auto overclock to 10% 2.64ghz
