Hi everyone, I've been having some problems with a PC I built in the last week. It ran fine for a few days, but then while I was playing What Remains of Edith Finch, it hard reset on me and has done it ever since. It seems to do it in idle but gaming makes it happen a lot quicker. Here's my build:

Ryzen 5 1600
EVGA 1060 6GB SC
ASROCK AB350M PRO4
2 X G.SKILL RIPJAWS 3200Mhz
CORSAIR CX550M 550W PSU

So anyways, the first thing I did was try clean install Windows, no luck. It also happens in BIOS, occasionally. So I was told to take it out of the case and try run it so I did and the same thing happened. Then I read that this is usually a faulty power supply, so I went and brought a new one but it was absolutely fine. Same thing happened.

My CPU and GPU temps seem okay, about 30-40 in idle and neither have ever gone over 70. I got told to try FurMark so I did that, the computer rebooted within about 2 minutes every time.

Now here's the weird thing, on the off chance it was a faulty slot or something I moved it from the PCIE3.0 slot to the PCIE2.0 slot and instead of hard restarting now, my display just turns off but my PC continues to run (I can hear sound through my headphones and keyboard and mouse still work). Other than that, same symptoms It just turns off and reboots after about thirty seconds or so. Before it was just rebooting instantly..

Anyway I've tried to be as descriptive as possible but if you guys have any ideas that'd be great! Otherwise I'll start the return process on the card, which is no big deal since it's new. Just looking for an outside opinion, thanks!!

    I just wanted to add to this that whilst playing Overwatch I've been getting crashes saying "your rendering device has been lost". Turning the settings down to low has made the crashes happen less frequently, but they still happen quite often. Possibly max 20 minutes of gameplay before I lose signal to monitor on PCIE2.0 or just straight restart on PCIE3.0.

    Sorry if this all seems a bit dumb, this is my first build!

    Time to start the process.
