Hi all. First time posting on this forum, though I’ve found useful info here countless times before and am always amazed at how helpful you all are!
Here’s my issue: I just upgraded most, but not all, of my 5-ish year old build. Everything runs great until I put the GPU (a holdover part) under any stress. Then the system immediately reboots, no bsod or anything.
Current build (no overclocking other than xml):
When I run Heaven or Superposition benchmarks, there are no issues at the lowest settings. At the highest 1080 setting it usually makes it through the test, but sometimes triggers a reboot. When I run the test at 4k, it almost always reboots right at the beginning (immediately after the loading screen). I did successfully run the benchmark at 4k once, but it's rebooted every other time (maybe 10 or so tries).
When I play a game at moderate settings, it usually runs fine for a while but eventually I'll run into a seemingly random reboot. Temperatures have never risen beyond 50c or so.
A few more things I've tried based on reading other threads in the forum:

A few more things I've tried based on reading other threads in the forum:
- I stress tested the CPU with Ryzen master (no issues).
- Tested the memory with memtest (no errors).
- I used a driver cleaner to remove the display drivers and reinstalled them without issue, but no improvement.
- I unplugged and re-plugged all the power cables on both ends.
- I measured the total power draw using a Kill a Watt P3, and it never seems to go much above 240 watts or so, presumably no problem for the 650 watt PSU. (Should it be going higher, though?)
- Event Viewer doesn't show anything useful.
- My new motherboard has a 24-pin connector, an 8-pin connector AND a 4-pin connector, which I was not expecting. For the 4-pin slot, I had to order a generic 8x4+4pin cable, which has the 8-pin connector plugged into the PSU and one half of the 4+4pin on the motherboard. The computer boots up fine without the 4-pin plugged in, but I assume it's there for a reason.
- On my old build, activating the mobo's built-in, gentle OC setting caused somewhat frequent bsod crashes when activated, so I left it off after experimenting. CPU and Mobo are gone, but it's the same PSU and GPU.
