I've been having this problem for a few weeks now across multiple games.
I'll get less than 5 minutes into the game until this happens: (see picture below) 
The screen will freeze on that picture, and my computer will reboot.
The only fix I have found for this is lowering my graphic setting. However, I have a GeForce 1080Ti, So I shouldn't have to lower my settings at all. I should be able to play on max settings.
I just built this PC a few months ago so I doubt it could be a hardware issue on my end. I've already had the old GPU RMA'd and the new one is doing the same thing, which leads me to believe it's not the GPU at all.
Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus IX Code
Processor: Intel i7-7700k
RAM: 32GB DDR4
Hard Drive: 500GB M.2 Samsung SSD w/ 4TB Hard Drive
Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080Ti FTW3
PSU: EVGA 850W Gold 80+
Monitor: Dell AlienWare 34" 120 Hz
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64bit

    Time to test the card in another pc since you already rma'd one card. Testing the card in another pc will remove any doubt.

    The only time I've seen that is either too high memory clock using an overclocking program or defective VRAM.

    ^ This.
     
    It's either an unstable GPU overclock or bad VRAM on the GPU Card.

    I downloaded EVGA's Precision X OC Monitor and while on the home page for Overwatch (not even in the game) my GPU Clock was sitting around 1940 MHz and my Memory Clock was at 6003 MHz.
