So I left my computer on one night (I know, I wasn't paying attention) and the next morning I could smell what seemed like electrical smells coming from my GPU. Tried playing Metro 2033 and 5 minutes later, my whole computer shuts down and starts back up, but there is no DVI signal. I check the GPU and see the fans twitching. Tried playing again and same thing. Computer shuts down, then no DO signal. I figured the fans burned out. I sent it to EVGA to be repaired since it was still under warranty. Got it back, put it in and tried playing rising storm: Vietnam. 30 minutes later, I got the same issue. Fans are still twitching so I tried running MSI afterburner and watched the fans auto balance and the GPU stays around 47°C. Then I STILL run into the issue.

My question is: anyone dealt with this same issue? Should I send it back to EVGA again and explain that it wasnt fixed?

Do check the CPU temps are rjohnson11 suggests.

Typically, when a computer shuts down under load it is a power issue. Whether a component is drawing too much power, or just a power supply that has issues supplying enough power.

The easiest way to test is the half-split method: take the 980 and put it into a different computer to test, whether a friend or family member PC that is compatible, even a computer repair shop. If it works - you'll need to test other PC components, and I'd start with the power supply.

Ok, I watched the CPU and GPU temperatures while I was trying to play and they stayed pretty average. CPU would be between 45-55 C and GPU would stay 43-47 C. Still crashed. So maybe its something with the PSU? 

I'd lean towards that, but if you can test out the 980 in a different computer to see if it does the same thing you can confirm or deny that the 980 has an issue.
